    Witches vs. Virgin Mary, female version of Bluebeard, a variant of femme fatale, pure evil without motives. Whether it is the obscenity of the elderly gay in the literature and art or the real occurrence is entirely up to the judge's judgment. I can't help but wonder if the male protagonist likes males because he feels incestuous and blasphemous with female...

    The impression of Verhoeven's film is still "hilarious and seductive", and this one is the same. Some paragraphs at the beginning are a little bit Lynch, a little bit Berman, but Verhoeven is Verhoeven, and the male protagonist will spread the eggs and chickens when he comes out (laughs to...

    +1 for the writer's surreal imagination. (The cat's eye on the imaginary door on the train has an eyeball falling out and dissolving in blood - the camera cuts to a real scene where the passenger boy rubs his eyes...) "What you create with reality is much more interesting than reality itself." Impact Later, the creation of "Instinct": the scheduling of the mirror during sex, the posture is all female superior, the people around you are written into the book, there are writers, the writers are...

    Not only the material, but the interesting thing is that it is a material with a perspective, which is connected to the creation of the novel without any obstacles, and the import and export of hierarchical relationships are also very rich. In parallel, the witch is also creating, using the camera to capture the soul. At the moment of the screening, the two creations converge and develop...

    8.1 It is very psychedelic, very strange, and many clues converge to the end. Are you talking about religious...

    Paul Verhoeven is very good at visualizing people's hidden desires, in "Instinct", "Her" and "The Fourth Man". This one has added a lot of religious metaphors, combining religion and eroticism, and the atmosphere is rendered more mysterious. The erotic performance is bold and naked, and the lust of the characters bursts out as the plot progresses. The rhythm is great, slow, steady, but not procrastinating, and it whetted my appetite from start to...

    It seems to be Verhoeven's work that pays tribute to lead yellow. In addition to the serial murders, almost all light yellow elements are available from the spider at the beginning to the various neon dreams in the film. If Argento made such a film The movie didn't surprise me at...

    Perhaps it was because he had taken too much "Qi Ling" medicine, and everything Verhoeven saw and heard all pointed "secretly" to what he wanted. As the writer who spoke "upside down" said, as long as the "landscape" he saw was recorded and shared with a camera, he could achieve his "ultimate" goal - to be loved by the "Virgin". Obviously, he "said" and did it, but, from a historical point of view, he mostly did it first and then let it pretend to be mysterious, just like the "Fourth Man"...

    Creating a sense of mystery is a major factor in the fascination of suspense films. The descriptions in the film, whether imagined or erotic, have a strong metaphorical atmosphere. The character image of Black Widow is fascinating and scary, and there is some black behind the literature and art. Means, the director is really...
