"Now that I'm at the crossroads of life, I know which path is right, without exception, I know. But I never go, why? Because it's so bitter."
I believe that many people have heard this sentence and have seen this famous movie.
Charlie is an ordinary middle school student who faces a difficult choice of whether to confess or be kicked out of school because he witnesses a prank but doesn't want to betray his friends. Frank, on the other hand, is a veteran officer who went blind by accident and slipped from the glory of his apex to the bottom.
Since the two people's lives intersected, the turn of fate has slowly become clear. Frank intends to end his meaningless life, so he enjoys his last trip in the company of Charlie.
He eats the most delicious dishes, buys a glamorous car, rides on the narrow streets, lives in a luxurious suite, follows the perfume of a strange woman, dances an elegant and sexy tango... After blissful madness, he pointed his gun at his head. However, Charlie's hoarse dissuasion changed everything, and the dawn gradually re-emerged in the old man's heart, and the two were as deep as father and son.
Frank's rousing speeches in the school auditorium save Charlie's future and satirize the hypocrisy of the school. The two were reborn in mutual encouragement.
Such a simple story is the famous "Smell the Woman", a film that made the old drama bone Al Pacino win an Oscar.
The review said that the film has two textbook versions, one is the tango jumping section, and the other is the exciting speech in the school auditorium.
Tango, there is no such thing as the wrong step, unlike life, if you take the wrong step or trip over and continue to jump.
In life, there are always some things we want to do but are always afraid of, afraid of not doing well, afraid of not knowing how to start, afraid of others laughing, afraid of failure...
Why not try, stumble on the wrong step and keep jumping. Never tried, how do you know not to do it, so you have regrets, do not act immediately.
As Frank prepares to put down his suicide pistol, he asks Charlie, "Give me another reason."
"You look handsome dancing tango and driving Ferraris.".
"When you feel like life is meaningless, go tango."
The soul does not have a prosthesis, and the soul should not have a prosthetic leg. Boy, run.
Charlie said that if something can't be done, it must not be done. This is the principle.
In the end, he did not betray his friends, maintained his inner principles, and adhered to his original intention. As long as he says those three names, he can enter Harvard, otherwise he will be expelled.
Frank said in his final speech, "Now that I'm at the crossroads of life, I know which path is right, without exception, I know." But I never go, why? Because it's so hard to.
And Charlie has also come to a crossroads in his life, and he has chosen the right path. Full of choices and full of personality. Let him continue his future. ”
Good movies and dramas give people good inspiration, and good movies and drama characters are plump and three-dimensional. They are not perfect, they have some minor flaws, more than even disgusting little bad.
Frank, for example, he's passionate about sex and passionate about women. The flight attendants on the plane, the cleaning staff in the hotel, the single women in the restaurant. He can accurately identify the characteristics through perfumes.
But as the plot unfolds, we learn of his dream, he just wants one day, the woman next to him can open her eyes in the morning, her taste, sweet and warm.
If you can't get it, you give up on yourself, and you use arrogance and arbitrariness to cover up your loss and loneliness and helplessness.
He went to the unpopular big brother's house to visit the big brother who had always been very good to him. He debates for Charlie, and he encourages girls to try to tango if they love it. Why not explain the goodness in his heart.
In the eyes of the world, his stubbornness is the strength of our ideals.
"You never wanted to leave, and your heart longed to stay..." Then give yourself a reason to stay.
"You don't have to pay it, just put it down." When you can't put it down, go to a "tango", there is always a reason to put it down, in fact, you can also be very handsome.
"I need a drink. I need to think twice and maybe die tomorrow. ”
