    I feel, moved. What an honor to see the Coen brothers films, true works of art. Wordless...

    5 > 3 > 4 > 6 > 2 > 1. Fate is impermanent, and it has its own destiny. Half of it depends on character and half of it depends on luck. Either a believer or a gambler. The ability to set up inversions and render the atmosphere, the Coen brothers is still top-notch, but it's still...

    The world constructed by the Coen brothers is extremely fascinating, but I dare not imagine being in it, but it is in response to someone in the last story: We like to hear stories because we like to imagine that it is our story, but it is not really...

    Life is impermanent, walk and sing. Death is like the wind, always with me. I like the sadness and helplessness of the third story, the abrupt end of love in the fifth story, and the lonely gold digger who loves...

    Damn Coen Brothers + Lan Lan! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! The fifth story is awesome! ! ! ! ! BLOW MY MIND! At the moment of the end, I got goosebumps for a generation, think about it this way: how to start a story with this painting. At the beginning of the sixth story, the black humor of the Coen brothers was shown fiercely, and I was very satisfied (the sixth story is French, Irish, etc., it is difficult for Chinese people to get this kind of identity icon cold humor). The fourth story also speculates...

    Three and a half. The Coen Brothers' screenwriting ability benchmark is really a cut above the vast majority of directors. The film takes the story collection as the frame and interprets the wild west life in six stages. The Coen brothers have just the right degree of interest and violence, but compared to the short and concise stories of the first two stories, the rhythm of the later stories is gradually prolonged, especially the fifth story has completely entered another evolutionary space,...
