Gray's movies are not always pleasing to many people. This time Melodrama is a big summary of his previous movies: immigrant protagonist, brotherhood, love triangle, prodigal son back. Jeremy’s role is a major failure in the script, and Jacques’ psychological portrayal can be more pavement. The story is a reprint of Fellini's "The Road", the form is the inheritance of Coppola Leon, the last shot is really...

God's will makes people uncontrollable. The pictures are exquisite and the design is deep and retro, but the story is told in this way, and there is little power to stir people's...

The whole film was sublimated in the last shot: she took her sister to row to the new world and life, and in the mirror he opened the door and chose to let go. The two protagonists have dedicated their touching performances! No matter what era Gray's film is set in, it is all about blood kinship and redemption. He is really an "old school" guy, maybe not perfect, but I just like stories like this. (But surprisingly, Gray himself is very...

It's not pretty if you look at it and guess everything. The characters are super thin, and even though the heroine has a beautiful Marion Cotillard, it is too annoying. The pimp is very distressing. The last shot is the two sisters rowing a boat outside the window. The cabinet in the room reflects the male protagonist going out. There is a kind of director who thinks he is super awesome, but he is really not creative....

Except for a few stunning shots, there are no surprises. There is no in-depth characterization of the characters. Everyone has the same expression from beginning to end. Under the huge story, the epic narrative, but there is a feeling of rough mind, not tempting, and not...

7.1 Generally speaking, it is a story about redemption. In fact, the real focus is on the pimp played by Jacques. Ma Liang's role in the script is far worse than Jacques, although they both acted well. The instability of the character's center of gravity is also reflected in the narrative. There are many themes involved but no deep digging. Only at the end, the theme of salvation is less...

As soon as I opened it and saw the dim tones, the meticulous art, the era was restored so accurately, and the theme of the love and hatred of immigrants during the Great Depression and Prohibition of the 1920s was added, I moved a stool and waited for another "U.S. "The Past" later proved that I was thinking too much. Even Jackie Kun and Ma Liang can't save their hall-of-class acting skills. Is it...

Although Ewa always plays the prostitute in the image of the Statue of Liberty, the real Statue of Liberty only appears at the beginning and end of the movie, which is the starting point for the next journey to the port. Rewatching the ending paragraph found that it was still effective. Ewa's mood change was not because Bruno had calculated her truth early in the morning (it expired at 30 minutes), but it happened to be Bruno's "confession" in response to Ewa who was eavesdropping in the...

The sad American dream
This is an illusory and real American dream. The sisters from Poland who had the American dream were forced to separate. Sister Ava was rescued by Bruno of the prostitution organization, but had to become a prostitute and a stray warbler. Such a humble life is not a lot of roads before these new...

"migrant"
It's the emotional line that James Gray is best at shooting, and the picture is still dim and dark, and the importance of actors in it.
Although it seems that his previous movies involved families, gangs, and crimes, this time it was put into a larger immigration history, but the pattern of his...

[last lines]
Bruno Weiss: If you could lick my heart, you'd taste nothing but poison. See, you think there's goodness in everybody, but there isn't. So you go and you forget about me, and you forget about this place. And you forget about those things that I made you do! Because I took everything from you and I gave you nothing! Nothing. 'Cause I'm nothing.
[stumbles and falls]
Ewa Cybulska: [hugs him] You are not nothing.
