This story can only happen in New York

When "Spiritual Journey" was just finished, Miss U couldn't reveal the plot. She only said in the group "This film is worth watching, New York is so beautiful." After watching it, I felt that New York is really beautiful. , Second, this story can only take place in New York.

The story of "Spiritual Journey" simply says that even a person who does not have much pursuit can find the passion of life. This passion is in the details of life, the barber's chat, the encouragement and companionship of relatives, and it is simpler. Breezy leaves, cheap pizza for a dollar, doughnuts for homeless people, and a messy subway. This mourning, ordinary and passionate temperament is a unique New York temperament. Among all the international metropolises, only New York has this temperament. After all, London is too mourning, with gloomy weather and gloomy faces; and Paris is too casual, so casual that you don't care about the "passion for life" at all; Berlin still has the enthusiasm for life, but the enthusiasm you can think of It's all kinds of interesting and avant-garde designs; Hong Kong is money; Tokyo is too restrained; Shanghai, Shanghai is a bit of this temperament, but it only belongs to a small number of people, after all, most people in Shanghai are trapped in the system. Beijing? Oh, sorry, Beijing doesn't belong to the international metropolis echelon.

"Passionate about ordinary life" I have always felt that "ordinary life" should also be worthy of your enthusiasm. Just imagine, if this story happened in Buffalo, Las Vegas, Seattle, or Rugao, Changde, it would be unreasonable. The barber’s gossiping is fine for life, but not for selling cards; the encouragement and company of relatives are fine, but the competition for real estate is fine; the breeze blows through the leaves, the down-and-out violin artist in Central Park is fine, but the aunt in Chaoyang Park is fine for stealing flowers; cheap pizza is fine, soy juice is fine Nope; donuts for the homeless, scan QR code no; messy subway? Of course you can, after all, there is no package security check.

But in fact, I know in my heart that this understanding is contrary to the theme of "Spiritual Journey". It is about that, no matter where you are, with or without passion, you can feel the beautiful daily life and life. "There is only one kind of heroism in the world, that is, after recognizing the truth of life and still loving life." This is probably what it means. But because the film takes New York so beautifully, every scene is saying: Come to New York, come to New York, come to New York. My partner Yueban and I humiliated each other. My trump card was "after all, you've only spent less than a week in the greatest city in the world in your life." Every time it hit his fragile self-esteem, hee hee .

    A good movie to purify the soul. The moment the fallen leaves were blown up by the wind on the street corner, tears soaked the mask. In our trivial and long life, it seems that there is no real moment of peace. Instead, we often feel besieged and go around but can't find an exit. A fish that longs for the sea does not know that it is already swimming in the sea. Every day is like a new life - such a simple and simple truth, this film accurately conveys the most appropriate camera language and music language. amazing.
