    Pynchon is worthy of being a master, knowing both astrology and spirituality. It is said in the film that many drug users are born in the aspect of the square of the sky and the sea (Uranus and Neptune are at 90°), which is really an expert theory; when the hero and the heroine ask where the psychic board can get drugs, the psychic board is actually Given the phone number of the drug seller, the magic cannot be popularized, otherwise there is no secret in this...

    From DCP to 35mm and then to 70mm, the impression of the film itself has gone up all the way. The PTA's faithful adaptation of the text is far from both form and spirit, but in the end, it still has the same goal of temperament. The mystery created by relying on rhythm control becomes more and more chaotic, and the process of waking up from the smoky smoke is precisely synchronized by the reaction of the audience in the theater: When did it stop being funny? ....

    This film can sum up that the brain burn is also drunk, and even the director and the actors have no clue. Wilson talked about shooting, “Sometimes I don’t need to know what I’m doing, and the director encourages us to do whatever we want.”... What can partially offset the frustration of the story line is some instantly understandable sound and picture elements, which are roughly related to medicine and sex. , "Eat" and "suck" are related. Perhaps the latter is what the director wants the...

    Pynchon’s "Sexual Evil" is not only a deconstructive noir novel, but also connected with the 1970s—the post-60s state of the United States, like the racial equality movement, hippies, and The shadow of the Cold War (anti-communist). While PTA is dealing with Pynchon’s most distinctive metaphors such as astrology, it can only be narrated outside the painting. This is a rather conservative treatment. Although in the era of Neo-Neo Noir, it can only be a The classic noir film bombarded with...

    It's too normal to watch a hippie movie, and it's too hip to watch a normal movie. In fact, there is no real psychedelic spirit except for a few talks and talks. Especially with Robert Altman's "Long Farewell" before it, any other hippie detective drama tastes like boiled...

    I don’t know whether the original work of Thomas Pynchon is easy to read. PTA’s "Sexually Evil" is a bit brainstorming, with many secret characters in the lines and mixed intentions. This is not an Oscar dish, nor is it a dish of most film festivals. PTA is this one. Literary diehards, insist on film, insist on the spirit of independence, with a consistent tone, fascinated, Jacques Phoenix acting fast and soul, California scenery is too beautiful. Wait for Blu-ray resources and high-quality...

    PTA restores the hippie generation, a psychedelic movie-watching experience, and finished several times in a daze. The soundtrack is too good, and the decadent and charming performance of Jacques is too...

    Brain hole

    Bomi said that the evil nature can be seen as a postscript to "Closed Island". I think pushing like this can bring out two clues a little bit. The narration that has been around, speaking to the camera from time to time, the woman who still surrounds Joaquin and his girlfriend should be a doctor....

    It’s right to be confused. The historical poison and trauma carried by "Nature is Evil" is a trace that history must have.


    The background of "The Evil of Nature" was in Nixon's reign. Reagan was the governor of California. In 1970, with the exhaustion of the 1960s, he shattered the wreath of "peace and love" and tossed all the hopes of the decade. live. Private detective Larry (Larry Doc Sportello) (played by...
