    Because I like it too much, it is difficult to judge this film with the usual methods of judging a movie. Each little story is very moving. The simple narrative makes me feel as if what I saw in the movie was the days when I was with those old friends a long time ago. The last two men smiled at each other and smoked, so touching, everything was in the smoke-shrouded smile. The black and white part is a bit cumbersome but not excessive. Paul Oster has a good...

    The good thing about this story is that it's so New York City that you can hear the whole hustle and bustle of New York from the background brakes, sirens, and the clamor of pedestrians. Two interesting anecdotes about cigarettes: cigarettes are weighed in much the same way as souls are weighed, and after death a person is nothing but a pile of ashes; only Bakhtin knew what a cigarette made of ten years of manuscripts tasted...

    Medusa has hair full of snakes and a pair of frightening eyes. Before Zeus' son Perseus rushed to kill her, Athena reminded him not to meet Medusa's eyes. Perseus approached with his back, followed the reflection on the shield and slashed Medusa's head with his sword. If life is Medusa, then cinema is that shield. I heard this story from a movie I watched recently. There are many stories in this one. One of them: Ski lovers visit Daxueshan alone. During the avalanche, his whereabouts are...

    Several men with stories show each other the soft side of their hearts, and the smoke-like past, just like the unbearable lightness in life, constitutes this film for men: delicate and long, filled with a touch of sadness and warmth, but not Lose the strength of a man. Several men are a combination of angels and demons, with both angelic love and demonic impulses. The Christmas story at the end is like a cup of strong coffee, which is...

    This is MiraMax's literary film. It has a literary temperament. It seems to be adapted from a famous writer's work. It is still a very warm New York-style Christmas story. Black people don't have fathers. Lane Pryce plays a mentally handicapped clerk who has no role in the show. Now, he has become a paranoid and cute traditional British man professional. It was not easy to get along. William Hurt is also a handsome uncle, the director is still that Chinese, just watched #Joy Luck...

    It touches on social issues silently and unconsciously, plain but delicate, like smoke and dust, lit, smoked, exhaled, and extinguished. The story at the end directly sublimates the theme, returns to the precious emotions in cruel life, and...

    One of the best American movies

    Speaking of an American film, the director is actually Chinese filmmaker Wang Ying. This film, which was filmed in 1995, seems to have won many awards, but in terms of its popularity among the audience, it is obviously not a successful film.

    Augie is a small shopkeeper of a tobacco shop, and the...

    "Smoke" Notes

    Although the art of this film is not difficult, there are still details. The floor of the writer's house is basically gray, which is very real. One of the director's best schedules is when the writer bids farewell to the little boy, the camera is fixed at the writer's place, and the writer closes...
