    The strong Hong Kong and Taiwanese translation of "Wealth is Coming" is also pitiful. Being there, Rand's death at the end echoes the beginning, "The Gardener" as the guardian of life. American wise man. The comedy is a little cliché and a little verbose. Is this the inspiration for "Remote for...

    Cyrus and the sound of the violin in his sleep. On TV is a picture of a symphony orchestra. Old American animation on TV has always been the best symbol. I saw Sesame Street, and TV is the best image of semantic postmodern alienation. Today's wedding, I think of a script, similar to "" "Idiot", a man goes to a wedding and pretends to know the bride, but no one knows his origin. Everything appears mechanical and lifeless, either artificial animation or repetitive life imitating the actions of TV...

    When I was a child, I was told that God created us in his own image, and since then I have decided to be cautious in words and deeds. This world is essentially a lucid dream. Everything in the world is born from the heart. Your life has been bound by your state of mind at the very beginning. In fact, the most powerful force in the universe is (human). Consciousness, it is not only Jesus who can walk on the water, but also anyone....

    8/10 At the beginning of the film, Chance walks alone in front of the White House, amidst the busy traffic. The noise of the world is distinct from his tranquility. At the end of the film, Chance walks away from the crowd and walks on the water. He is more like a mirror, reflecting the truth and absurdity of this world. At the beginning of the film, we are as surprised by his weirdness as all the people in the play; at the end of the film, we discover how lonely and helpless we are in this...

    Cyrus's farewell work, the acting skills are of course nothing to say, but compared to the previous days when I watched "Classic Cars", it has more opinions and less relief. In addition, the electronic remix version of "What Zarathuslah Says" is still worth listening...

    Hal ashby's films are far beyond worth seeing. They are some of the most wonderful films ever made. Beautiful shots and great music. Did Forrest Gump copy its...

    Peter Sellers has great acting skills. The movie is ironic. People who doubt the protagonist’s true identity end up thinking that the protagonist is an expert under group thinking. Not Hollywood garbage, this is the charm of American...

    It's ironic. The gardener, who stayed at home and watched only TV, was accidentally picked up by an upper-class old woman. Talk to the dying Vice President Cheng Zhiji and the President to discuss national affairs. Both are intended as successors. It seems that a politician can be anyone. The hero is really a...

    The metaphor of the Illuminati: God is a stupid and peaceful human being, stupid and peaceful human being can become God

    This movie is a classic film made by a typical Illuminati. Not only does the movie have a lot of metaphors about the Illuminati, the iconic pattern of the Illuminati is directly given at the end of the movie:

    To briefly introduce the Illuminati: In the contemporary world, the Illuminati has been...

    Mild irony

    Write a short film review before going to bed.
    I have to say that I don't agree with the opinions of most film critics here, especially their perspectives.
    I wondered why Peter Sellers regarded Being there as his ultimate love, so I took a look. Seeing the first third of the place, I suspect that...
