In the evening, Levine brought the big yellow cat to the home of the Grofiens couple, but unexpectedly met friends who had come to visit the professor's house. The professor and his wife warmly invited Levine to stay for dinner.

But here, Levine seems out of place. Because this is a group of people who receive higher education and enjoy classical music; while folk songs are from the poor on the streets at the bottom.

After the dinner, Lilian Grofiens enthusiastically invited Levine to perform a song, even though Levine was unwilling in every way that his music was not a small song for after-dinner entertainment, but a pursuit of art and dreams. ; But Lilian invited enthusiastically, the scene was already a bit embarrassing, he could not refuse after all.

So Levine took the guitar and started playing the song "Waving goodbye." He didn't know why he chose this song. Perhaps it is a habit, a habit of going deep into the blood.

Fingertips were playing on the strings, a helpless arc appeared in the corners of the mouth, and he hummed softly, "If I can spread my wings like Noah's dove...I will cross the river and pursue my love..."

The faint bitterness and vicissitudes of life are revealed in the deep voice. This song is the second soundtrack of the opening. Levine found the vinyl record at the home of the Grofiennes and sang it with Mike. That song.

But different from the opening melody, Levine’s singing at this moment is so sad and lonely. In the lingering sound, it seems that the deep scars of the soul can be seen. Emily could not help but slowly immerse himself in Levy. Well in the world.

For the first time, she understood the shouts and rants in Levine's heart. About Jane, about Mike, about music, about life, the power of the soul penetrated bit by bit, but there was no time for further immersion. , A chord came from Lilian.

"Waving goodbye...Farewell..."

"My love... love..."

Levine's singing was interrupted in this way, he voluntarily stopped playing and began to question Lilian.

Lilian said puzzledly, "This is Mike's part."

"Don't do this." Levine's voice trembled slightly, revealing a trace of unbearable pain.

In an instant, Emily was defeated in this way. Without warning, she raised her right hand and covered her mouth, and tears kept falling like this. She understood the sadness and bitterness behind the song, she understood the vicissitudes and scars in Levine's singing, and she also understood the helplessness and loss in the depths of Levine's soul.

Levine exploded.

Levine vented all his anger towards Lilian, rudely and rudely ruined Grofiance’s dinner, the scene suddenly became difficult to look at, but he didn’t care, and unreasonably took everything. Negative emotions are vented.

What is even more absurd is that the big yellow cat is not Grofines' cat. Because their cat is male. The cat Levine brought back was female.

In the chaotic scene, Emily cried more and more sad, just watching Levine, who was like a trapped beast, wandering around in the city of New York, smashing left and right, but after all, she still couldn’t. Break free, his dream is like a dream of light, but after all, it cannot penetrate the layers of dark clouds and fall down, and the world still stays in chaos.

At this moment, a handkerchief was handed over to her right hand, Emily turned her head in amazement, and then saw Steven Spielberg with a sad face.

Steven did not speak, but shrugged slightly invisibly and handed the handkerchief to Emily. Then, without saying anything, he turned his head and looked at the big screen again, quietly blending into the world before him. . The eyes behind the spectacles flashed with a faint sorrow, surging faintly, seeming to be trapped in deep memories, unable to extricate themselves.

For young Emily, this is Levine's story.

For the older Steven, this is his own story.

Levine left New York and went to Chicago.

Al Cody mentioned earlier that a friend was preparing to go to Chicago, hoping to take another person and share the cost of gasoline; at the time Levine expressed disdain, he was more willing to stay in New York, but now, he is still He chose to go to Chicago with the big yellow cat who didn't know the name or the owner.

This is a very, very strange journey.

The driver is a dumb tough guy; the passenger is a fat old man who has fallen asleep throughout the journey. There was silence in the whole carriage, without even introducing each other, without knowing each other's names, so they went all the way along the highway.

The old man finally woke up, his mouth was full of swearing, and his body was spiky, "Folkball? I thought you were a musician. Folk singer with a cat, are you Kee?"

For folk songs, the old man was full of contempt and disdain, and launched an attack with full firepower throughout.

But Levine mentioned Mike head-on for the first time, his former partner, "He jumped off the George Washington Bridge."

The old man paused slightly, "Oh, **** it, I won't blame him. After changing me, I can't bear to play'Jimmy Break the Corn' every night."

"Jimmy Breaks the Corn" is an American nursery rhyme.

"Oh, sorry, please forgive me, but that's too stupid, right?" Just when everyone thought the old man apologized for the nursery rhyme, he broke this illusion immediately, "George-Washington Bridge? Generally speaking, you choose the Brooklyn Bridge? George-Washington Bridge? Who would do this? What happened to him? Is he an idiot?"

The old man’s views represent exactly one group.

They admire traditional music such as jazz and soul, and despise the new type of music represented by folk songs; even further, they reject the poor and low-level people represented by folk songs, and maintain what belongs to them with grace, arrogance, wealth and dignity. In the middle or even higher life, he refuses to go with the guys who live in Greenwich Village.

"Song of a Clean Bastard", just when everyone thought the tough guy was a dumb guy, he spoke for the first time, "Olovsky."

Peter Olowski, a famous American poet and actor, the Beat Generation, is also the lifelong companion of the protagonist of the film "Kill Your Love" by the poet Alan Ginsberg. The full name of this poem is "The Song of Clean Bastards and Smiling Vegetables".

"Then, I starred in... "The Confinement Room"." This is a realistic drama about the prison brutality of Navy Team 6 in the 1960s.

Obviously, the old man represents a group, the middle class who enjoys the comfortable status quo; while the tough guy represents another group, the beat generation; and the group represented by Levine, the folk poet.

The three individuals represent three groups. They are all products of the background of the times. They adapt or confront or integrate into this society in their own way, but invisibly become the cornerstones of the times, become part of the times, and intentionally and unintentionally Promoting the advancement of the times.

Then, the old man overdosed in the toilet, fainted with foam at his mouth, and Levine appeared unexpectedly. Before that, every rest stop would inevitably stop, and every relief time would have to be long, and now all have been explained that the seemingly indifferent old man was drunk in his easy life.

Then again, the three of them started on the road again. The tough guy was suspected of drunk driving and the police forced him to pull over. Although he did not drink, the quarrel with the police led to him being taken away forcibly. Looking at the police car driving away, Levine was also dumbfounded.

Then Levine got out of the car with his guitar. Staring into the big yellow cat's eyes, hesitated and then hesitated, Levine finally closed the car door, left it with the old man, and walked on alone, stopped a car on the side of the road, and started on the road again.

Three people, three endings.

In the dark, different directions and endings of the era are guided. Emily turned her head to look at Steven subconsciously, and then saw Steven's expression of contemplation. Between the light and shadow of the big screen, it seems that the whole person has entered the vortex of that era~ www.novelhall.com~ can't extricate themselves.

The camera returned to Levine.

Alone, icy and snowy, Levine arrived in Chicago. Without a winter coat, trembling in the cold wind, but accidentally stepped on the snowdrift, the whole shoe was like a boat, too wet to get rid of.

He curled up in the cafe, filled his stomach with endless cups of bad coffee, took off his shoes in embarrassment, and gently rubbed the soles of his feet to keep warm, but a cup of coffee could not warm his body; later, he secretly gave Bud- The horn's gate bar created by Grossman called, but did not dare to visit it in person.

After thinking about it, he still chose to turn around in a desperate manner, and came to the train station idly, hesitating whether he should go back to New York, but fell asleep on the bench because he was too tired. As a result, he was watched by the patrol, suspecting that he was a criminal. While you were chasing me, he came to the horn's gate bar again.

He was like a spinning top, being beaten and spinning, rushing left and right, but he could not find his direction. The ice and snow in Chicago made him unable to find any shelter, not even a decent coat.

After waiting for an hour, after waiting for Bard, he plucked up the courage to complete his self-introduction, promoted himself cheeky, and finally won the opportunity to perform a song in front of Bard.

But an affectionate and touching song "The Death of Queen Jane", a gentle and affectionate singing, seems that even the temperature of the soul is hidden in the musical notes of the strings, sad and sleepy, but only one sentence is exchanged, " I don’t see any commercial value."

"Okay," Levine said.
