    8.5/10. An old gardener who only watched TV for a long time and did not communicate with the outside world and made his thinking TV, made all kinds of irony and laughter after he had to enter the real world due to a change. Satire TV, capitalists, politicians and even American society. There are many jokes in the film (such as various cross-server chats), but some are too absurd, and the overall level is...

    Peter Sellers' back-to-basics performance is good, but the story becomes more and more boring in the second half of the...

    It's a three-and-a-half-star movie. I didn't want to watch it halfway through. The pacing of the previous episode was too slow. The ending wasn't particularly good either. The ending scene is kind of...

    A wonderful film, a political satire, at the same time surprisingly calm, about a certain connection between fate and state of...

    Life is a state of mind. The ending is so beautiful. I was going to give it four stars, but later I found out that the male protagonist turned out to be the one who played the triangular role in "Dr. Strangelove", Peter Sellers. Ah ah ah decisive five stars ah. He always surprises...

    Big wise or wise, Peter Sellers bid farewell to the world with this film, and the scene at the end of the film also turned into an...

    I like to watch movies about the elderly, not the old man with obscure and narrow words like Bergman, but this kind of person with a simple philosophy of...

    This film is very strangely shot. It can be described as God in a political satire telling you the "Tao". Although the Tao is very Tao, it still has to be spoken. It can't just stay in the water and laugh. Western natural philosophy is a kind of sensory thinking, Descartes's cogito think therefore I am, this thinking is a kind of scientific analysis of the external world, it is memory, experience, objective, but does not return to the heart. It is different from the "thinking" that is...
