    He watched the coffin fall to the ground and buried the love of his life; he carried all the sins and infamy, for you to be able to face the difficulties; he never defended himself, unless he killed himself~ The tone is very dark, but the ending is not...

    7.5 points is a very good story, but the director always points to the end when he speaks the story, which occasionally makes people...

    A movie that I owe for more than ten years. The last time I watched it was in elementary school. When I saw the male protagonist talk about his life experience, I was forced to change the channel by my mother. So this movie became my heart forever. Finally let me find it today! Art and plot are taken into account at the same time, containing but not revealing, and grasping it just right. This kind of film has been rare in recent years. I recommend everyone to watch...

    It's not a duel between two people, it's just a battle of one person - it's you who has been living in his shadow.

    feelings of confrontation

    Oscar-winning foreign-language film winner "The Characters," tells a social tragedy of the late 1920s that uncovers a tale of life and death, based on the best-selling original Dutch suspense.

    It strikes me because of the unspeakable confrontation between the three characters in the film. Father...

    To face the crime, learn from our Cao Cao

    If my father let go of his arrogance for even a minute, and Shan Qi knelt down to apologize to his mother and propose marriage, instead of just writing a letter in the tone of an order, I think the ending would be much happier. Teaching a son to be a man does not necessarily have to force his son...
