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(gè)漂亮的女鄰居也就是女主角居然是現(xiàn)在挺紅一部美國(guó)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(huì)淪落到演這些非主流片子。不過(guò)這個(gè)劇本挺好的，看了以后覺(jué)得人生??！其實(shí)就是這樣。

不得志的失落的編劇，住個(gè)破公寓天天被討要房租，凝結(jié)他畢生心血的劇本像一本百科全書(shū)一樣厚，根本拍不成一部電影……但還真有人從報(bào)紙的廣告上找到了他想把他的劇本拍出來(lái)，但這個(gè)原意給錢(qián)的主不是什么正經(jīng)的電影投資者，更像個(gè)自由職業(yè)者，沒(méi)有工作卻出手闊綽。他給了這個(gè)編劇一千美金定金，之后的資金他就開(kāi)始用不法手段獲取了，而且入室偷盜在這個(gè)金主身上干起來(lái)那么順手和不緊不慢，就像去超市買(mǎi)個(gè)東西一樣。這個(gè)編劇卻良心一直受到譴責(zé)，在一次這金主的販毒勾當(dāng)中，他利用了這個(gè)編劇在不知情的情況下做了個(gè)中間人，編劇發(fā)現(xiàn)之后感覺(jué)整個(gè)拍片的事情不過(guò)是個(gè)騙局，自己不過(guò)是被利用來(lái)做不法勾當(dāng)?shù)囊粋€(gè)傻逼。但最后這個(gè)金主真的要把湊齊的錢(qián)給這個(gè)編劇準(zhǔn)備真的拍這個(gè)片子的時(shí)候，卻被女鄰居失手殺了。看著被海風(fēng)吹散的錢(qián)，聽(tīng)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(lái)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(gè)男人和女鄰居一同籌備拍片的這段美好快樂(lè)時(shí)光的記錄。

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