1. shows

The best memory of Off-Broadway show is A Stone Carver.

The son of an old stone carver, a recent local political star, has to persuade his stubborn father move out of the old house for the new free way. The old man refuses to talk to anyone about moving out from the house, which is built by him and bears the memory of his late wife. The son brought with his girlfriend back the house in the last day to have the last try.

The people in this show are amazing. The old father, especially, plays very convincingly. His love for the late wife and his family, though hard to understand by people from outside, is genuine, deep and touching.

2. movies

Besides Cars, I like a movie from free screening whose name I do not remember.

The story is about a young man commits suicide and enters into a suicide people’s world. To his disapointment, it is as dull as the world he is coming from. He works as a pizza boy during the day. At night he goes to bar, only talking to people about differnent types of suicide. Fantasying his girlfriend becomes his only comfort.

One day he feels that she is coming to the same world and then decides to venture out to find her. So he begins the journy with a friend. They meet a girl looking for “the man in charge” during the trip, and have her join them. The young man falls in love with the girl after spending so much time together and finding her virtues.

After several days of road trip, they meet an old man drunk on the road. The old man takes them to his camp, where miracles happen everyday. The young man find his girl friend during staying in the camp, when she comes with her spiritual tutor. He goes to her but she does not care. She believes in the spiritual guy, follows him jumping from a high wall, and dies.

The young man feels sad. What’s more, the girl looking for “the man in charge” left him mysteriously. He is left alone in this world. But he suddenly finds the old man is “the man in charge”, who helps the young man go back to the world.

When he wakes up in the hospital, he finds the girl looking for “the man in charge” with him in the suicide world is in the same room with him.

The movie’s style is similar to Big Fish: fascinating and fun. Obviously this one has a broader coverate of subjects such as the meaning life, love, and seeking a spiritual satisfaction, which provide it the potential to be a big hit in the future.
