? Change of times

In this era of being held hostage by material, the rapid development of society seems to never stop.

Life has become a trivial matter, there is a life blinded by material things, there is romance promoted by desire, there is the fear of being embezzled, there is confusion about the unknown, and there is unspoken optimism.

In the late 1970s, Atlantic City, which had just opened its casino industry, was in the midst of a transition between the old and the new. The old man, Bashall, who is nearly half a century old, is still as obsessed with champagne and young beautiful girls as he was when he was young. And young Sally is bent on escaping this bleak Atlantic City and going to Las Vegas to pursue her dream.

A ramshackle gambling city that is about to be eliminated by the times, an old man who is almost at dusk and lamenting the waste of time, and a young and beautiful girl who is at a loss for the future.

Sally wipes her body with lemonade every day to maintain her figure, stands by the window, cuts the lemon with a fruit knife, squeezes the juice out with her hands, and spreads her body with her hands. inside.

Sally's husband David befriends Parshall and uses him to sell stolen cocaine, but is soon killed by the mafia. Parshall uses drug money to pursue Sally, lusting for a romance. Blinded by material life, Sally stole some of the money from selling drugs at the motel and went to Las Vegas to pursue her dreams. Although Parshall knew it, she did not stop it.

Back to her lover, Grace, Parshall sells the rest of her drugs and takes a pleasant walk along the Ocean Drive, with the rapidly changing Atlantic City behind her.

The film "Atlantic City" was filmed in the United States by French director Louis Mahler and won the Golden Lion at the 37th Venice Film Festival.

    It is predicted that I will enter the Louis Malle pit after watching a few more movies.

    The white powder caused the murder, the old man took the risk, was unwilling to be reprimanded by the old woman, and faced the wildness in his heart with the helpless peeping. Under the temptation of lemonade, the old man took out the revolver again, with tens of millions of bills, and fled with ease. The focus of Atlantic City was only because the old man was holding on to the sky. If you're crazy enough, get back on track. The beauty of life lies in a little excitement, and occasionally pretending!
