    Costa-Gavras is 80 years old this year. I still prefer realism like 1969's...

    That bastard labeled the genre as comedy?...

    The protagonist hid his old-fashioned pistol with super recoil in a plastic belt; when he came to the lake, he looked around and saw no one, so he quickly threw the stolen goods into the lake; unfortunately, there was a wooden raft on the lake. People happened to pass by and almost got on the raft! So both of them stared blankly at the bag sinking to the bottom of the lake! Haha this scene is very funny when I watch...

    The opening atmosphere is very good, and the plot is a bit too much fettered by life and family. Although the son's branch has a direct effect on the plot, it obviously weakens the tension and the relationship between the characters. "No one is dead in a comedy." At least for the protagonist. "The action to save the earth stops with...

    Costa added an extremely short-lived "A glance" anxiety delusion in the film. Under the meaningful stop-motion lens at the end, the theory of success is deconstructed in a Hitchcock manner. The abstract word "eliminate" is easily associated with it. The way is connected with some extremely realistic behaviors. Imagine that the male protagonist does not have any criminal behavior, but the so-called "self-improvement" or "self-adaptation". Will he still feel...

    Reminiscent of Yilin's black comedy classic benevolence and crown. Gavras copied the strange thoughts of the competing candidates one by one, and then changed the background from the inheritance of the prominent British family to the difficulty of finding a job in the modern urban paper industry. During this period, he interspersed with the irony of the capitalist production relations. Put it into the barren hills, and today we actually let the young and wealthy laborers go home and have...

    In a money society that drives people crazy, the well-dressed middle class turns into a serial murderer for their livelihood. The unemployment crisis brought about by globalization and mechanization has detonated the paranoid and crazy factor in human nature. The protagonist is confused and the audience has social observations. It is a serious social problem crime comedy. I don’t know whether Peng Haoxiang’s "Victoria No. 1" has been affected. Impact of this...

    Gavras is really a comedic genius. This piece is as cheap as [Game Point] and [Cassandra's Dream]. The tone of comedy + horror is really difficult to handle, the play is really old and spicy. At the end (and turned over the interview stalk in the middle), a star was born. I owe a bit of self-consciousness to make a database narrative (although it is actually a database), otherwise I can really give five...

    A modern "Metamorphosis" alive! In the materialized environment where capital interests are paramount, human nature is squeezed to a minimum, and alienated into a murderous machine that obliterates conscience, without reflection, without fear, and shuddering with a highly allegorical black humor to outline a deformed and circular one. Everyone is engulfed in the social vicious circle-the end is...

    A different France

    I don't want to talk about the storyline anymore, because it's not the strong point of this movie. What impressed me was that the film reflected a France that we, especially French art film audiences, were not familiar with.

    This country:

    also has its suburbia, or urban sprawl (Suburbia, or urban...
