September is traditionally the month when Hollywood segues from action films to awards-season prestige fare. But what if a movie could be both?

九月傳統上是好萊塢從動作片過渡到頒獎季重磅大片的月份。但如果一部電影可以兼具兩者呢？

In fact, what if a September movie could be a whole lot of things — not just an Oscar contender with car chases, but an up-to-the-minute political satire and a father-daughter buddy picture, too?

AI Overview

segue/ˈsɛɡweɪ/

A "segue" (pronounced SEG-way) is a smooth, uninterrupted transition from one topic, idea, or activity to another. It can be used as a verb (e.g., "She segued into the next topic") or as a noun (e.g., "His remark served as a natural segue"). The word, originating from the Italian for "it follows," is commonly used in everyday conversation, writing, and music to describe seamless movement from one subject to the next.
