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.
