小故事,大道理
昨天(2021年3 月4 日)下午打完疫苗,胳膊有点疼,也就借此理由没去上班,在家看了部英国电影,The girl in The Cafe(咖啡屋的女孩)。
这应该是一部很低预算的电影。故事很简单,也没有大的场面,除了扮演两位主人公的是影星,其他配角人数少,且没什么戏份,但却是很好看的故事。
电影是2005 年拍的,按我的标准,是应该得奖的。里面不乏英国人的冷幽默,对话也很有意思。比如说解释夸女人pretty(好看)和Beautiful(美丽)的不同,pretty(好看)是一过性的,年轻的时候是,老了就不是了。但Beautiful(美丽)就不一样,那是骨子里的美,不会随年龄而变。想想,生活中也的确如此。有人年轻的时候美艳无比,可随着岁月的流逝,老了以后,外表容貌反差极大。但也有人外貌不随年龄而变,年少时闭月羞花,老了也是优雅秀丽。
还有,晚上睡不着时,就想像着在演电影,演死亡,还是在拍近景,所以面部肌肉放松,这样就能入眠了。这还真是从未想到过的抗失眠方法。那电影里也有一些看上去很普通的话,却富有哲理。比如:A little knowledge could be dangerous, but a lot of knowledge could also be dangerous. 想想生活中的事,还真有这样的。
说到电影,最近华人导演赵婷获得金球奖,在华人中引起很大的反响。不仅仅是她是女性,年轻,还是第一个获此殊荣的华人女性。当然,也有明星效应,她也是宋丹丹的继女,尽管她的成功和宋丹丹并无什么关系,毕竟她是在美国打拼成功的。
其实电影《无依之地》的情节并不复杂。孀居的女主人公弗恩,出于对已逝丈夫的怀念,留在了一荒凉之地的工厂区工作和生活,因工厂关闭,她被迫将一辆小货车改作房车,过起了流浪的生活。而打动人心的,也就是这一路走来的人和事。
得人心者得天下,电影也是如此。 一部大家都喜欢看的电影,应该是讲述了一个很感人的故事,才能引起众多的共鸣!
这样的故事,在以前看过的美国电影中也看到过。印像最深的,是那部电影,讲述一个普通的美国人,很不幸的一生。他的生活有太多的坎坷,但却能坦然待之。家人接二连三相继去世,到最后只剩下他自己。有一天,他突然决定,要一个人去长跑。于是,在美国大大小小的路上,不断出现了这样的情景:主人公在路上毫无目的地不停地跑着,后面跟了一群越来越多的伴跑粉丝,逐渐成了不可多见的一道风景。而每到一地,都成为当地的新闻热点。
其实,中国也有这样的电影。张艺谋十多年前拍的《活着》, 就是这样的故事,只不过说的是过去的事,虽然也能打动人心,但毕竟不是现实的生活,不能完全感同身受。记得那部电影也曾获多个国际奖,只是在中国,电影被禁,估计看到的人也不多。
想起前几年读到的一中篇小说(乔叶《最慢的是活着》),读过好几遍,仍不能忘怀。故事也很简单,是一个孙女和奶奶的故事。小时候,由于是女孩,不太受奶奶的待见,奶奶更疼爱她的两个哥哥。随着时间的推移,陪伴奶奶更多,更为贴心的是孙女,而不是孙子或孙媳妇。每每读到那些小的故事,点点滴滴,有很多的似曾相识,我相信,这肯定不会只是我自己的感受,只是可惜,至今还没拍成电影。
人类的本性是一样的。好的故事,再小,再普通,也能打动人心。
Really great shoes, in a color combo I couldnt get locally.
- Switzerland
Timely arrival, replaced prior Air Monarch, new, happy with purchase
- Liberia
been wearing these for years eliminated my leg pain look good and hold up good
- Singapore
excellent tennis shoes, they look great and are very comfortable, they fitted as expected.
- Singapore
Great product! I usually don't buy shoes online because they don't usually fit right. Glad I did this time!
- Switzerland
Ordered the 4e for extra width and they are as expected. Comfortable and easy to slip on with shoelaces tied loosely,
- Singapore
I love the Air Monarch 4, especially now that it doesn't seem to have the squeeking problem that plagued them before. Very comfortable.
- Singapore
These are exactly as described. The 4E means extra wide, but 3E was not available so I went for these.I now have a fresh bounce in my air step.Best Regards,
- Switzerland
Been wearing these for about 20 years..best wide fitted shoe I've found...buy a pair about every 18 months or so...always a perfect fit and the most comfortable I've ever put on..
- Singapore
I purchased this for my son and he loves them. He wants another pair in a different color but although the price was right, I'm a disabled single mother on a limited income so these were a humongous splurge but he deserves it.

Complete functions, very fast connection to mobile phones, very easy to operate. It is convenient to listen to music and make phone calls.
2024-01-12 08:54:35--
The earphone looks very advanced. Finally, it gets rid of the problem of cable. It is very comfortable to wear. I like it very much. The bass is shocking, the sound insulation effect is good, the sound quality is worth the money, and the appearance has no color difference.
2024-01-12 08:53:49--
I received it in the afternoon. I can't wait to open the package. The appearance of the product is exquisite, with high appearance, crisp closing sound, beautiful appearance, fashionable and eye-catching, good hand feel, soft earcap, and comfortable in ear wear. The pressure sensing control is accurate and convenient, and the noise reduction effect is very good.
2024-01-12 08:53:32--
I have been concerned about this product for a long time, and have made many comparisons. The earphones are fine and comfortable to wear, but I can hardly feel their existence. The functions are also quite comprehensive, such as pausing when taking off, answering the phone by touching, etc. The sound quality is also very good, with good noise reduction effect. The endurance meets the demand, and the use of the charging box is more than enough for a day's use.

Quality of bag is amazing! As you can see in the photo everything lines up well. Hopefully they won’t take the close up photo down. It shows the stitching and chain quality! There was no weird smell and the chain is of heavy and nice quality. The fabric the bag is made of is soft and smooth. The bag is a little misshapen from shopping but that is to be expected. Absolutely love it and could not have asked for anything better for the price I paid! Plus it only took a little under a month to get the United States!
2024-01-12 08:53:08--
Second order from this shop for pod pros and they are perfect. Work and pair as they should. Would definitely recommend
2024-01-12 08:50:35--
I didn’t like the quality of the shoe. Shipping was ok, 2 weeks to arrive to the United States.
2024-01-12 08:49:46--
product shipped pretty fast, was affordable, and basically exactly as described. Do not be surprised, however, if one toe box is different than the other, mine were slightly uneven but not that noticeable.
2024-01-12 08:48:43--
So cute !!! comfortable ! Took 2 months to arrive
2024-01-12 08:48:06--
amazing and comfy
2024-01-04 19:03:57--
These are great quality, however, they are actually a size 12 when the size chart said 9. So be sure you look up the European to American sizes.
2024-01-04 19:03:41--
No bad flex’s can squish the front of the shoe without any problems at all. I’m not a fan of these so I don’t know how originals look but these are comfy to wear and good quality
2024-01-04 19:00:05--
All as in description
2024-01-04 18:57:04--

Those reps are perfect. Took a long time like a month but it was worth it for 70$ you can‘t get anything better than this
2024-01-04 18:43:30--
Absolutely amazing!! The size is perfect and the tennis is so beautiful. I'll buy again.
2024-01-04 18:42:28--

2024-01-04 09:07:11--
This is probably my 15th order from this vendor. Normally the box come with authentic looking paperwork. This time it was trash. I’m not sure what changed. But don’t waste your time. However the jewelry was A1
2024-01-04 09:06:30--
nice quality!
2024-01-04 09:06:21--
Beautiful necklace!
2024-01-04 08:59:59--
It feels good, I like it very much, and the sound effect is very good.
2024-01-04 08:57:02--
This Bluetooth headset is very good. The sound quality is good. The battery life is long. Wearing the ear doesn't listen. The workmanship is fine. The quality is guaranteed,
2024-01-04 00:08:06--
The logistics is very fast, and the express delivery will arrive the next day. The earphones are small and cute, with good packaging, high cost performance, clear sound quality and no noise. I didn't expect to buy such a good product at this price. I recommend you to buy it. Happy!
2024-01-04 00:06:50--
Super nice the bag! I will order again soon!
2024-01-04 00:06:37--
Incredible friends the quality is crazy, it put 1 month to get to Canada. To make a birthday gift or Christmas is very good
2024-01-04 00:06:04--
DO NOT BUY. Cheap plastic looks awful
2024-01-04 00:03:57--
Once I placed my order for this bag I found that the same seller had this bag in genuine leather. I messaged seller and asked if I could swap the PU bag for the genuine leather and pay the difference. The seller was very helpful, sent me pictures of the genuine leather bag to confirm and then sent me a invoice for the price difference. Although I cannot rate this specific bag I would like to say that I was very pleased with seller and will definitely purchase again!
2024-01-04 00:03:32--
Impressed overall, good quality however the strap colour is slightly brighter than the original. can't knock it for the price though.
2024-01-04 00:03:15--
Nice bag. Looks authentic.
2024-01-04 00:02:19--
Not a good knockoff! The chain looks cheap and the color on the monogram does not match the original**bag. It also has a very strong smell.
2024-01-04 00:02:08--
I love the bag very much!!! So cute and would order a different color from the seller. Only negative is that the bag has a strong factory smell but I assume it will go away since I just opened it!
2024-01-04 00:00:18--
Very nice!
2024-01-03 23:59:32--
Beautiful bag!
2024-01-03 23:58:46--
Very cute- ordered more
2024-01-03 23:57:07--
It’s very close to the real deal
2024-01-03 23:55:23--
Took along time but not sellers fault for that price is good
2024-01-03 23:53:21--
Took a long time . I ordered on May 9th , got it may 30th . But exactly like the picture .
