"Ah, boy! 》

A film like this is perfect for a night like this.

Just resting and staying at home for a day, watching a few movies that are neither salty nor bland, impetuous and a little uneasy, thinking about the various things that may be forced by life next week, not really slackening, and even doubting my own waste.

In the evening, when the lover did not return, he drank alone, watching such a movie, the condensed black and white images, not much self-contrast, but a lot of magnified parts that enhance the sense of touch.

Sometimes being unaware of one's own state is a kind of happiness, because awareness means thinking, and thinking must be accompanied by pain.

    How hard is it to want a cup of coffee? The unhappiness of the male protagonist in the film, or the uncomfortable feeling of living, can represent how many people. When you start doing something for yourself, maybe that's when you can get comfortable. . .

    What I see is naive rather than astringent, especially after watching Ozu for a day, this black and white shot is so boring!! @上海影城

A Coffee in Berlin quotes

  • Julika Hoffmann: [to a thug] what kinda guy are you? Let me guess. You were born an alcoholic because your mom couldn't stay off the booze during her pregnancy. How could she, when she got beaten up by daddy when he came home from the pub?

  • Café-Shop Angestellte: So, what it'll be?

    Niko Fischer: Coffee, please.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: To go, right?

    [pause]

    Café-Shop Angestellte: What kind?

    Niko Fischer: Just normal coffee.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Wanna try something new? Today's special is the Marocchino. For 2 Euros extra, you get a doughnut or a seed roll, all homemade and organic.

    Niko Fischer: I think I'll stick with the coffee.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Sure, we've got two kinds: the Arabica and the Columbia Morning.

    Niko Fischer: Which coffee tastes most like a regular coffee?

    Café-Shop Angestellte: I like both.

    Niko Fischer: I'll take the Columbia.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: The Columbia, then.

    [pause]

    Café-Shop Angestellte: You want milk. We've got soy milk.

    Niko Fischer: No, thanks.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Okay, then. Three Euros forty, please.

    Niko Fischer: Without today's special. Just the coffee.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Yes, three forty.

    Niko Fischer: Three forty for a regular coffee?

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Yeah, that's the Columbia.
