    Chauncey, like Mr. Hulot, broke into the city as an alien (the adaptation of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" suggests this), but as soon as he landed, he entered the protection of the deep house compound, and never failed to match the contemporary city. The idiosyncratic circumstances and living conditions interact interestingly enough; the film deftly compares political rhetoric with stupid ambiguity, but it still fails to convincingly point out how exactly the protagonist's character emerges from...

    At first, I thought it was the 1900 old version, but I didn't expect him to leave that house so readily. Later, I thought it was a satire movie, 5 stars. Then, I began to wonder if the normal people inside are not normal, how can this irony be effective, minus one star. In the end, do you think I am as lustful as you are, minus one...

    The CIA and the FBI (and a bunch of political dignitaries) pinch each other, suspicious and self-righteous, and Peter's acting is the perfect example of what it means to be wise and foolish. The best comedy always makes people laugh and cry. Life is a state of...

    Actors are very important in directing, acting and speaking in a character as pure as paper. Although it is also a comedy of the wrong kind, the rhythm is not lively, and the "duozi" does not require a complete response. What it pursues is not an exaggerated dramatic effect, but a blank...

    The legendary wise man is ignorant. If you don't speak, talk less, and say ambiguous words, you will appear unfathomable. Those who pretend to understand and deeply interpret what other people are saying are just self-righteous and understanding according to their own...
