    Giant cult! A mix of Mexican-style macaroni westerns, Godard's jump-start, Buñuel's surreal and Sam Pekin's gory violence, and the director is probably a Buddhist...

I also disapprove of it, this is not exclusion, because I have a strong taste, even if it is a bad movie, I will not easily kill it with a stick and...

    Beyond the boundaries of the cactus

    Mole, this animal seeks sunlight by digging a tunnel in the ground, and when it digs all the way to the ground and sees the sunlight, it is also blind.
      
      There is another world behind this world far away from us, and the relationship between these two worlds is like the relationship between the...
