The first thing caught my eye was that the beautiful female neighbor Angelica is actually stared by Jennifer Beals, who was also the leading actress in an American lesbian TV serial “The L World”. To my surprise, she can change her accent for different characters! With good acting， she seems to be quite out of mainstream films though. She did quite well in this film to form a multilevel character. She is a waitress with no patient and talks straight forwardly, hardly hide her emotion inside. And the same time she is the mother of two children, and no reliable husband, which gives her a lot of pressure, and makes her a bit nervous and irritable. She also retain a little bit of childlike innocent, which shown by her dancing in the snow. She is the muse of Aldolpho.
 

 
The loser writer had been broke since long, who could not even afford the rent of a small apartment in a run-down building. He contributed his whole life to a 500 pages script as thick as an encyclopedia, which is simply impossible to be executed. He treasured it a lot, but for paying the rent, he had nothing to sell but the script. Through his ads on newspaper Joe, a seemingly wealthy strange older gentleman, pays Aldolpho $1,000 cash for the work. Joe quickly becomes Aldolpho's warmhearted guardian, giving him confidence, helping him catching his dream girl Angelica, and nurturing his artistic goals. But the screen writer and his producer soon clash over the content of the film, and it takes a tragedy before Aldolpho can begin to understand Joe's point-of-view and create the work he's dreamed of.

Burgling and drug smuggling were not the things ever considered by Aldolpho, but he did without knowledge. When he finds out the truth, conflicts begin to be built between Joe and him. But finally it leads up to a tragic end. But what Aldolpho has got is a brilliant film, made during their experiment shots.

It is a excellent screenplay, three main characters are developed very well. Their personalities are multilayered, which makes the film more truth to life. It shows pretty much what themes in normal people’s lives: Friendship, love, trust, doubt, misunderstanding, forgiveness, lose and gain.

唉……值得感嘆的是這個漂亮的女鄰居也就是女主角居然是現(xiàn)在挺紅一部美國女同性戀電視連續(xù)劇的女主角，她好像挺文藝的不然也不會淪落到演這些非主流片子。不過這個劇本挺好的，看了以后覺得人生啊！其實就是這樣。

不得志的失落的編劇，住個破公寓天天被討要房租，凝結他畢生心血的劇本像一本百科全書一樣厚，根本拍不成一部電影……但還真有人從報紙的廣告上找到了他想把他的劇本拍出來，但這個原意給錢的主不是什么正經(jīng)的電影投資者，更像個自由職業(yè)者，沒有工作卻出手闊綽。他給了這個編劇一千美金定金，之后的資金他就開始用不法手段獲取了，而且入室偷盜在這個金主身上干起來那么順手和不緊不慢，就像去超市買個東西一樣。這個編劇卻良心一直受到譴責，在一次這金主的販毒勾當中，他利用了這個編劇在不知情的情況下做了個中間人，編劇發(fā)現(xiàn)之后感覺整個拍片的事情不過是個騙局，自己不過是被利用來做不法勾當?shù)囊粋€傻逼。但最后這個金主真的要把湊齊的錢給這個編劇準備真的拍這個片子的時候，卻被女鄰居失手殺了?？粗缓ｏL吹散的錢，聽著男人臨死前及其平靜的那些話，再看著男人肚子上被掩蓋住的傷口，編劇才知道原來他獲得的是一份多么珍貴的友情。最后他得到的不是按照自己的劇本拍的片子，而是一部他和那個男人和女鄰居一同籌備拍片的這段美好快樂時光的記錄。

生活就是這樣雖然不得志，雖然充滿誤會，充滿利用，充滿銅臭，充滿欺詐，但是說不定另一面同時也有那么些說不清道不明，證明不了的，想來可笑的，夢想，執(zhí)著，友情，愛。
