His name is Levien Davis.

He was a lonely and nameless folk singer. He curled up on the sofa and spent the night in his home at his friend Professor Grophyns. He was bored. His only interest was to open the vinyl record on his friend's bookshelf, put it on the phonograph, and start playing. When he left, because the door was not closed in time, the big yellow cat at his friend's house sneaked out in the blink of an eye.

In a panic, he tried to chase the big yellow cat; but as soon as he put down his backpack and guitar, the sound of the door lock automatically falling from behind him came. His movements suddenly stiffened and realized that he had no key.

He picked up the big yellow cat that had not walked away again. He tried to entrust it to the apartment manager responsible for managing the elevator, but the other party refused his request on the grounds of "I need to run the elevator". Then he dialed Professor Grophyns' office downstairs through a public telephone, but he could not contact the other party. In desperation, he could only hold the big yellow cat, carry a guitar box, and hurriedly boarded the subway among the busy crowd, walked underground in New York, heading towards Greenwich Village.

After a moment of inattention, the big yellow cat slipped away from his hands again. He had to chase after him quickly in a mess in the crowd. The only luck was that the subway car was closed, and he finally caught the active guy again. Then he rushed to another friend's house, but they were not at home, so he could only ask the residents on the first floor to allow him to borrow a fire escape and enter his friend's house, and then left the big yellow cat, leaving behind a plate of milk.

This is a montage, telling the story of Levien's first official debut.

The melodious and moving choices keep circling in my ears, perfectly combined with the camera, the story, and the atmosphere. It seems that even the lyrics and musical notes have become part of the movie. Emily always feels that the singing sounds very familiar, and it has been several shots slowing down. Only then did she think back

The vinyl record found by Levien on Professor Grophyns' bookshelf is called "Timlin and Davis". It is a duo folk performance group. On the cover photo, there is Levien and another strange face. It looks like... Marcus Mamford of the Sons of Montfort in real life.

The camera gave a close-up reminder, but it flashed by and disappeared quickly.

Looking back now, Emily suddenly realized that the soundtrack and story are two things that are connected to each other. The flowing shots and melodies are intertwined, depicting New York in the 1960s, retro and chaotic, hasty and crowded, lonely and indifferent, slowly permeating the atmosphere of the whole movie.

So, what information was revealed in the footage of the first ten minutes that she missed?

Emily quietly straightened her back, and her deep interest began to roll in. This work should be worth chewing over and over again. Before the first movie was over, she had already begun to look forward to the in-depth study of the second movie; however, now is not the time, and the most important thing is to concentrate and devote herself to the movie.

Levien visited his record label.

Once upon a time, Levien Davis and Mike Timlin were duo performance groups, and they were not famous; now, Levien Davis is a solo singer, and he is still not famous. The sales results of the new album "Cincinnati" are unsatisfactory. He cannot get the prepayment for the new album, but he cannot get the royalties for the previous album. Winter is coming, and he doesn't even have a coat.

The record company boss showed his pity and sympathy, and kindly presented his winter coat to Levien, but Levien didn't buy it at all. He said in a generous and thunderous manner that this was the other party's hypocritical sympathy, but it was just a performance, which seriously hurt the record company boss's kindness.

The audience in Lumiere's hall breathed softly, and seemed to be unable to agree with Levien's approach.

Immediately, the peak and the circuit turned around.

The record company boss cursed and asked Levien to get out; Levien was slightly stunned, without any hesitation, and got up obediently to get out, while also preparing to take away the coat; the record company boss immediately couldn't bear it, grabbed his coat tightly, and finally gave Levien forty dollars in exchange.

The audience was stunned.

Emily chuckled. This is the Coen brotherly cold humor or dark humor, which can always create an unexpected effect that makes people laugh and laugh.

Levien returned to his friends Jim and Jane's home.

He was greeted with anger Jane, and Troy Nelson, who was sitting in a rocking chair with a big yellow cat in his arms.

Jane expressed strong anger at LeVian's own initiative to keep the big yellow cat behind, aggressively targeting LeVian; she said that she and Jim had agreed that Troy would sleep on their sofa tonight. Troy was an active militaryman and a folk singer, and would perform in the Gaslight Cafe tonight, so LeVian could not stay unless LeVian was willing to sleep on the sofa.

Levien tried to explain the situation, but Jane never gave him a clear time; Levien was concerned about Troy's performance, and a trace of indescribable misunderstanding appeared in his eyes.

Jane's impatience, Troy's freedom and Levien's waves formed a sharp contrast. She rushed left and right in the narrow space, and the huge amount of information between the loose and relaxed was vented. Then Jane picked up the sticky note paper angrily, venting her dissatisfaction at Levien, while writing a line of words, and then handed the sticky note paper to Levien.

"I am pregnant."

This was the message on the sticky note, and the smile on the corner of Levien's mouth suddenly solidified and he blurted out, "What the hell?"

Jane looked at Levien quietly and raised her eyebrows gently. Her sharp and sharp eyes penetrated the screen and looked straight into the eyes of every audience member.

Emily stared quietly, not because the plot was too bloody and cliché, but because the character image and the relationship between the flowing narrative were outlined bit by bit. She couldn't help but want to give applause to the Coen brothers. The natural sense of flow, laying the groundwork while answering questions, and at the same time ensuring the progress of the story, making watching the movie a pleasure.

The next scene is undoubtedly Emily’s personal favorite part.

After the sticky note incident, Troy boarded the stage of the gas lamp cafe for a performance. Levien and Jane were sitting in the audience, separated by a position from each other. Then Jane's husband Jim arrived at the cafe and sat in the empty seat in the middle.

Levien asked Jim with a frown, how about the performance?

Jim said "excellent", but Levien shook his head repeatedly to express his dissatisfaction and rejection, while their discussion sparked protests from other audiences. This means... the audience and Jim's position are consistent, and Levien is the only out of place in the audience.

Annoyed Jane left and prepared to go to the bar for a drink.

Watching Jane leave, Levien lowered his voice and thought about the sentence, hoping that Jim could lend him some money, "I will repay it soon, joining the last loan. A girl I know has something wrong and needs to be solved."

"Come again?" This was Jim's first reaction.

Levien quickly explained, "It's not the same one." In Jim's surprised gaze, Levien quickly added, "Don't tell Jane."

"If I don't tell Jane, I will not be able to get the money." Jim replied helplessly. Levien shook his head repeatedly, saying that he would think of other ways.

"Damn it!" This is not the sound from the movie, but the voice of a girl behind Emily. She shouted softly, not interfering with the movie's mood of other audiences, but Emily couldn't help but chuckled, but this is not all.

Troy, who was standing on the stage, ended his performance and continued, "Today there is a special audience in the audience. Maybe he can leave the list and give me a little help."

Levien seemed to recall the admiration and admiration of Jim and Jane's home in the afternoon. Troy expressed his admiration and admiration for him, with a helpless and bored expression on his face. He shook his head gently and expressed his rejection, "I didn't bring my guitar."

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome Jim and Jane!" Troy's voice came out.

All the audience in Lumiere Hall burst into laughter, especially when they saw Levien's expression that paused slightly, disappointment and loneliness slowly penetrated out of their eyebrows, which became more meaningful, but the real finishing touch comes from the next shot:

Levien joined the audience and applauded and welcomed, but his eyes were quietly staring at the stage, pausing for a moment, perhaps just one second, and then lowered his eyes, concealing the fleeting light in his eyes. He picked up the cigarette on the table.

The emotions revealed by a look and movement, and body language fill the camera with a full eye.

The light and melodious, moving and fresh melody flows slowly. Unlike Levien's sorrow and loneliness, bitterness and sorrow, the graceful musical talisman reveals a sense of grace and warmth. The song "Five Hundred Miles" leads all the audience to savor the taste of nostalgia.

Quietly, Levien sat quietly in place, letting the curling cigarette burn at his fingertips, his eyes fell motionlessly on Jian, staring at the petite figure under the spotlight, his eyes slowly and gently down, and he could even capture a faint light flowing slowly in the depths of his eyes, full of tenderness and affection.

Unpredictable, Emily's eyes became wet. She saw Levien shrinking her sharpness and spikes bit by bit, showing the softness in her heart.

He loves her.

She hummed softly, "I can't go home like this, Lord."
