A few years ago, my sister took me to a coffee shop called "Paper City". Located near Tainan Railway Station, there have been many cafés and restaurants in Tainan in recent years, retaining the old buildings and transforming them into an environment that combines ancient and modern styles.
This kind of storefront that was later transformed into a restaurant, coffee shop, small exhibition hall or clothing store, the most distinctive feature is his "staircase". It's like the stairs leading to the attic in foreign countries, which are steep and narrow. Climbing up to the second floor with a little difficulty, the space is naturally small and compact, with three or two tables, which can accommodate 6-7 guests at most, and there are neatly arranged domestic and foreign books and magazines on the wall. My sister said that the boss called the storefront "City on Paper" because of a book called "City on Paper".
Now many years later, because of the love of movies and reading, even after many years, the books you should read and the movies you should watch will still come across.
It's kind of like, the two people who keep missing from "Go Left, Go Right," there's a hidden line between us, oneday, wewillmeeteachother.
First I saw the trailer for the movie and then listened to the full soundtrack. The movie trailer is very attractive, I like the heroine, more curious about where he went? I listened to the soundtrack of the movie for almost a month before I switched to other music. It was really nice. Different genres are my favorites. All of this makes me look forward to the development of the story. And, I can't wait and desperately want to know the plot.
I have read John Green's "Beautiful Defects in Life" before, and I really like his idea of elaborating on young cancer patients in a very realistic and uninspiring way.
His works are one of the few translated literatures, which describe few scenes in detail, and it is slightly unbearable that the author always likes to describe the scenes very carefully.
Margo is more and more important to Quentin after the story develops. Perhaps, this can be said to be a journey of Quentin finding himself. This book, in the middle of Margo's disappearance, didn't have much appeal to me. Although I also followed Quentin's footsteps to find Margo, the process of finding myself with similar reasoning and a little vagueness was difficult. Before and after in the dialogue with Margo, can get a lot.
"Life is full of nasty things, but it's better than choosing to die" -Margo
Perhaps, each of us is Quentin, unable to get out of our current comfort zone, and there are hot thoughts in our blood. We all envy Margo. Margo didn't want to be like everyone else, go to college, get a job, get married, have kids, and then die. I'm so envious of Margo, the carefree person, like a free-flying bird.
Quentin: Aren't you worried about your future life? Margo: What's there to worry about? Quentin: Aren't you worried... like an eternal question? Margo: Eternity is made up of countless presentes.
The above conversation is really great!
The future is made up of countless present. The future is made up of countless choices.
Looking forward to the movie and the author's next works.
