Moving to Portland, Oregon and finding work in food service is easy for Paul and Ramona. A struggling musician without bandmates, Paul becomes introverted and moody. Ramona's friend from college introduces her to a new social circle and she goes out while Paul stays home. When Ramona confronts turning thirty, it's time to grow beyond old routines and her relationship with Paul comes to a head.
Paul and Ramona, a young couple in need of a change, move to Portland, Oregon from their hometown of Boise. Upon arriving, they sublet an apartment and begin to familiarize themselves with the city. While finding work is easy (Ramona begins waitressing, while Paul gets a job at a coffee shop), change is difficult. Their life in this new city seems to be on repeat. When their car breaks down and a tandem bicycle becomes their primary means of transportation, Ramona refuses to ride.
A struggling musician, Paul, spends most of his time at home, steadily becoming introverted and moody, while Ramona, at the insistence of a co-worker, is thrust into a new social circle, where she begins an affair with a co-worker. Ramona and Paul’s relationship implodes after she confesses and in the ensuing conflict, she impulsively leaves to stay with a friend. Paul, desperate to work through the pain of the split, befriends a quirky barista named Ali. This friendship gives him a chance to begin to heal and inspires him to focus on expression through his music.
Heintje是西德电影《英俊少年》的主角,相信这部电影很多人熟悉,但谈到他的其它影片可能大家就陌生了。Ein Herz geht auf Reisen德语直译叫一颗上路的心,拍摄于1969年,但40年了,这部电影还未有过中文配音,相信是没有传到中国的。
片中Heintje(影片用的是他真名,英俊少年也是只是姓不同)是个孤儿,从开头他买完东西回到一所公寓的情景是为影片说明来由,那公寓不是他自己家,是他姨妈家而姨妈有了未婚夫后一心想跟他分开住。Heintje天天去马场看他喜欢的白马,与场主Alfred(英俊少年里演他父亲的演员)建立深厚感情,而Alfred有了女友后也疏忽了他还要去瑞士,所以Heintje被送到孤儿院。但他又从孤儿院逃出一路搭便车追随Alfred到了瑞士,Alfred被他深深感动还与女友分手了。Heintje搭的便车最后那个是一起走私团伙,在瑞士发现他后还绑架他,在警察等人帮助下,Heintje脱离危险,而Alfred也找到真爱,就是在德国认识的事务所的Hanna(英俊少年里演女律师的演员),他们决定结婚并收养Heintje。
Heintje在片中一路唱着好听的歌那歌声让人陶醉其中,Ich sing ein lied fur dich直译是我为你唱首歌,在片中出现多次,可以说是这部的主题曲了,他的金嗓子让人佩服,现实中的他就是以金嗓子赢得众人的欣赏,他的少年时代的歌有荷兰语、德语、英语三种语言,也是语言天才。
开头出现的Liebe Sonne(亲爱的太阳),是说明一个孤儿心中永远都是阳光
,无论如何最终都是会得到幸福的。要相信爱就在身边,心中有阳光,无论遇到什么困难,都是不能被击垮的。
Married carnival performers are subjected to the abuses of their employer in this silent film gem that has not received as much attention as it deserves. When the boss' unwanted advances on the wife are refused, he taunts a lion until it nearly kills her. But the other performers assist in a unique plot for revenge. Jaque Catelain directs and stars in this film made for influential French director Marcel L'Herbier's production company. Some sources also list L'Herbier as co-director, as he is credited here. The film boasts some rapid-fire editing techniques that were decades ahead of its time.
