Ferris wheel in Coney Island

This is a family tragicomedy that took place sixty or seventy years ago in Coney Island, New York. For me, I finished watching this movie before the beginning of the summer, and I was going to another island for vacation. The Coney Island in this movie, the tourists are convergent, noisy, and the coastline is charming and charming, which opened up my love for the island. The imagination of the holiday, but the family reunion, separation, cheating, love, lovelorn, loss of love, etc. that happened here, but these plots are so cut and unreasonable, just like the Ferris wheel one after another reincarnation.

Coney Island is a peninsula in Brooklyn, New York. From the early 1960s to the 1960s and 1970s, Coney Island was its prosperous period, with many tourists and developed entertainment facilities, but in the 1950s, Coney Island has already begun to show. Signs of decline.

The main characters in the play, the young playwright Mickey, the restaurant waiter Ginny, the operator of the Trojan horse, and the daughter, all met this summer in a plot that will make them unforgettable in their lives. But it all happened in a summer, humid, hot, like a dream. After all this, everyone's life seems to have returned to the original, the same monotonous and meaningless, but the people in the life have changed, and the relationship between people has also changed, and it has become worse. Just like "decay" in physics, matter is still there, but the internal structure has changed.

A Ferris wheel may live as long as Coney Island's short-lived boom. And the wonder wheel opposite Ginny's house is also like a temptation. She is tired of the noise and monotony of life here, but deep down she longs for something. At the same time, the Ferris wheel is like the eyes of a city, observing everything that happens here day and night. And that urchin son who can't get rid of arson all the time, just like the next generation of Coney Island who grew up in an environment that is about to decline, it is hopeless.

    USA #999. As good as the cinematography is, this drama is as horrific. There is basically no likable actor. Boss Jia is an amateur player no matter what, and Fei Wen is too hard. Just look at the performance of the big devil in [Blue Jasmine] and you will know the difference. Of course, it would be fun if you had to refer the play to the old man's own gossip (the problem is Woody Allen is not Hong Changxiu...). Almost all compliments can be given to photography. As a meta-narrative, the "symbolism" of Boss Jia's monologue is reflected in the strong dramatic expressionism of Stellaro's use of light, which is quite suitable for the stage performance. Of course, the contrast between red and blue is really amazingly accurate and moving.

    Wien/The light, shadow and color are so beautiful, I enjoy watching it on the big screen. I want to see that Chinese courtyard. The old man is still very realistic, and everyone is empty in the end. Don't fall in love with literary youth, and don't pin your hope of self-salvation on others.
