合法采盗保护区兰花的印第安人形象蛮有意思的哇(●°u°●)」

-Neither the flower nor the insect will ever understand the significance of their lovemaking. How could they know that because of their little dance, the world lives? But it does. By simply doing what they're designed to do, something large and magnificent happens. In this sense, they show us how to live. How the only barometer you have is your heart. How when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way.

-You cannot have a protagonist without desire. It doesn't make any sense. Any fucking sense.

-First of all, you write a screenplay without conflict or crisis, you'll bore your audience to tears.Secondly, nothing happens in the world? If you can't find out that stuff in life, then you, my friend, don't know crap about life!（你对生活真是一无所知！）

-A last act makes a film. Wow them in the end, and you got a hit. You can have flaws, problems, but wow them in the end, and you've got a hit. Find an ending. But don't cheat. And don't you dare bring in a deus ex machina. Your characters must change, and the change must come from them.

-It was mine, that love, I own it. I can love whoever I want. You are what you love, not what loves you. 详情
