    Three axes slashed at Hollywood. Compared with the black and serious Billy Wilder, the fun of watching is no less than watching the fresh Quentin twice. Of course, the most awesome scheduling is that Altman moved half of it. A coffee from Beverly Hills came over and made a sarcastic and powerful joke. Compared with the vast number of internal montages, the dazzling skills at the beginning and the domineering self-reflection at the end are at best the icing on the...

    The long shot at the beginning pays homage to touch of evil, and later the dialogue is called again. In addition, the characterization of each character is meticulous, and the details are constantly added after that. Every line is basically continuous. The joke seems to intersect with Woody Allen, especially the name that can't be pronounced incorrectly. As for the movie's irony of the film industry, trust me, it's too easy for...

    Tim Robbins's vulnerability at times can make you ignore the cruelty and violence of the character, so this casting is really good. In the end, the murderer has both fame and fortune, and he is a beauty. Good people are fired. The cold lens language of the whole film accurately shows the intrigue, power struggle, unscrupulous means and luxury corruption of the Hollywood film industry. The new producer, who seemed to be going off the beaten track, finally got along with the male lead! The play...

    From the perspective of the play mode, every step is in line with the model of Hollywood commercial films. In this standard three-act play, there is not much innovation. The two small reversals at the end are regarded as one of the few breakthroughs in the play mode, but From the perspective of film techniques, the existence of Altman has truly given this film a unique soul that complains about Hollywood's rotten system but shoots the film according to this rotten mode. The long shot at the...

    Can the excoriating & radical critique of an object also turn out to be its song of glory and praise? Is it conceivable to lay out all that is wrong with the movie industry, while at the same time and in the most deliberate way committing those same missteps? Does the criticism disappear if the result is an ambitious, intelligent and engaging movie? The Player is an ontology of the critique itself, of what (does not) make a critique critical. Paradoxically, the key lies within the form, not the...

    ①Many stars made cameo appearances in the self-deprecating "The Big Business of Hollywood" ②The long shot at the beginning is unique, well-connected, well-defined, and comprehensively explained the human style of Hollywood studios ③It caters to the market, despising art, and the audience will give it to you if the audience likes a happy ending Shoot, the audience will pull it for you if they like to eat shit. Movies, first and foremost...

    American Movie. Everything holy and dirty is buried here. The first must be a fiction, the second is to be at the center of all contradictions and sights, and the last is a false, malicious lie. This is the movie that every one of us fell in love with at first, and here at Ultraman, they return untouched after a long absence, but like a recapitulation of a sonata, while reappearing intact, One side fell apart irretrievably. We come to realize that behind these so fascinating premises lies a...

    For the movie, it gives a very strange feeling, like there is a loop within the play. The beginning is very dazzling, but I think...boring. It gradually becomes exciting. The disc is from FH, there is no translation of the commentary track Forgivable, but unfortunately the two documentaries of Method 2 are not integrated, but a DTS soundtrack and original sound are left, and my brain is flooded! The translation has occasional typos, and the level is...

  • June: I don't go to movies.

    Griffin Mill: Why not?

    June: Life is too short.

  • [after watching The Bicycle Thief]

    Griffin Mill: Great movie, huh? So refreshing to see something like this after all these... cop movies and, you know, things we do. Maybe we'll do a remake of this!
