Everyday People 市井小民
Chat, Movie February 28th, 2006
Like the characters sung by Sly & The Family Stone in their famous 1968 chart-topping hit, “Everyday People” is a brilliant, alive, and empathetic film about a day in the life of a group of hard-working New Yorkers.
Long-standing restaurant and Brooklyn neighborhood institution Raskin’s is going out of business. Its sale has been engineered by scheming businessman Ron.
Ira, the owner, doesn’t have the guts to tell his employees that they are about to lose their jobs, so it falls upon Raskin’s gentle but firm manager Arthur to break the news.
The reactions of the people who work at and around Raskin’s becomes the ensemble focus of director Jim McKay.
From the waiters to the busboys, to the neighborhood street vendor, resentment, shock, denial, hostility, hurt, anxiety, anger, hope, and pride course through their veins as they ultimately realize that life must go on, and that it has to be lived with dignity.
This film is a must-see for anyone who loves movies where New York City and its people take center stage.
劇情是描述一家在紐約布魯克林經營許多年的小餐館即將要關門，而餐館歇業的事實使在這餐館工作及居住在這餐館附近的人產生許多不同的情緒及故事。
劇情也許有些單調，但是就是那種會在你我身邊發生的事情，每個角色之間的互動都代表著一個群體或是一種生活型態，在這樣環境中發生了一件共同的事情，就像漣漪一樣從中心點擴散到每個人身上，每個點彼此交互作用
好看的電影，推薦一下
