Why do you always speak my mind

I messed up and the trip was terrible. Once I left New York, there was nothing to gain. Everything is

still the same, there is no way to think. Especially thinking that nothing has changed, I'm completely

lost . I fear it will go on like this forever. For several nights I swore to go back early the next morning,

but I kept traveling and listening to the sickening radio. Night in the same

motel . Watch impersonal TV, cut off from the world. You

did , there's no need to cross America for it. When you lose your sense of self-identity, you lose

touch . You've been this way since the beginning, and that's why you're always looking for evidence of existence. You treat your

stories and experiences like raw eggs. As if only you can feel it, that's why you keep

taking pictures. To further prove that you are really observing something. That's why you are

here . Hope someone listens to you. . . Actually you are talking to yourself. It's not a long-term solution,

my dear. . . Yes, taking a Polaroid (one-shot photo) is indeed about evidence,

and I felt inexplicable anxiety in the process of waiting for the photo. I can't wait to compare photos with reality

, but even this comparison doesn't calm me down. Photos never catch up with reality

. . . . . (You can't spend the night here), and I keep going on like I'm obsessed. .

(You really can't communicate). You can't stay here, hear? Are you serious? I'm

sure I can't help you, although I want to comfort you. I do not know. I also don't know how to live

, and no one teaches me. The crossroads of the city are like clearings in the woods.

    "What did you dream about?" said to himself, more like listening than talking. Writers are confused when they shoot first and then write, just like a director who writes first and then shoots, there are always errors in the expression after changing the medium. The lost way back, the city makes people lose their sense of time; winter meets Alice, two disabled people rely on each other to fulfill each other. The reflection of the photo makes their faces overlap, which is my favorite moment. The boy hummed funny, and the aerial train was shocked.

    This one is so cute. Traveling alone is like a light-heavy feeling of smoothness, and like the male protagonist, the temperament is very comfortable. "Talking to oneself is more like listening than talking", "Why photos can't always record the reality I see", "You take pictures only to record the evidence of your own existence, but you can't go on like this". The male protagonist's name is Winter, and the hidden title is Winterreise. (Want to go to Wuppertal!

Alice in the Cities quotes

  • Philip 'Phil' Winter: Taking pictures is a way of proving things. Waiting for the image to develop, I was often filled with a strange unease. I could hardly wait to compare the picture with reality. But comparing them wouldn't reassure me either. As the still images were always overtaken by reality...

    Angela - Friend in New York: You can't stay here.

    Philip 'Phil' Winter: I photographed even more obsessively.

    Angela - Friend in New York: You're really beside yourself!

    Philip 'Phil' Winter: That's why I only took Polaroids...

    Angela - Friend in New York: I don't want you to stay here, understand?

    Philip 'Phil' Winter: What? Are you serious?

    Angela - Friend in New York: Yes, my friend. I can't help you.

  • Lisa - Alice's Mother: I can't sleep with you. But, I'd like to share the bed with you.
