    Coincidence? It's not! When I just read "Master Spring Lantern", I first came up with a name, then wrote two lines of poems, and then started the story. And it is also a collection of short stories, and it is also a very good story, some humorous, some cruel, some touching. The stories of the Coen brothers first made me feel the rules, and then when I thought they were all rules, they broke the rules. The story is full of their usual out-of-the-ordinary, but you feel plausible. And it is worth...

    quite like it! Very literary film, very strong short story flavor. Truffaut said that short stories are "the art of glances", so I think the Coen brothers' six "looks" are quite interesting, and I especially like the last one (probably because the last one is the smallest novel.. The one without arms and legs is also very fond of , I can't believe that the actor turned out to be Dali's cousin!! Dali!! In Harry Potter, he has a five-tiered chin and his buttocks will hang down on both sides of...

    You know the protagonist of every story, every scene has appeared in your bedtime readings, every fable is so seductive and so sad. Just to tell you, and tell you again, the themes they are used to discussing: the unsolvable fate and the impermanence of human affairs. At the same time, no matter how easy and simple death is, the delicate beauty of the picture has never been dim and sad. What is gentle cruelty, and now it can be seen in the Coen...

    The "meal ticket" is the most tragic. Although I had already guessed that he would be thrown into the river, the scene would not appear, but seeing the empty car also felt cold to the bone. Other stories are relatively light, and they all have predictable endings. The song in the first story is nice. In the end, I personally think "Savage Tales" is...

    [Six skewers of death] The Coen Brothers' golden signboard is indeed not built. Short stories, especially refined narratives, condensed are all good things. Although all the stories have nothing to do with each other, they have something in common: the exploration of death, unique characters, dark endings, the slow unfolding of the plot and the final thunderbolt, exquisite soundtracks and photography. Every story is memorable. Chewy, mellow and long, absurd but natural, it leaves the audience...
