    3.5. Sarah Polley was only 18 years old at the time, and seemed to have embarked on such a path dedicated to post-traumatic sequelae. Ian Holm sang a lullaby and drove the car while preparing a knife to cut the trachea for her daughter. Perhaps her innocent and lovely daughter was already dead. we all lost our...

    A masterpiece by Atum Igoyan. 1. Although I missed Palme d’Or, I still agree with Ajani’s choice. Eel and cherries are not as good as this film. 2. The three-line cross narrative, the soundtrack is intoxicating, and the mirroring is calm and temperate. 3. Trapped in the washing workshop, falling in the river bus and phone booth = rectangular coffin = death. 4. [Hamlin's Piper in Flower Dress] The recitation of fairy tale poems is a magical pen, the heart of the lame survivor's mystery. 5. Sara...

    Roman Polanski once said: "If you really have a story you want to tell, you will never tell it very complicated." But if you just want someone to come and follow you (for example, you are going to Cannes If it is), it is undoubtedly a wise move to complicate the simple story. Remember to take beautiful shots, try to use the unquestionable landscape lens and VO to hold it for 90 minutes. The most important thing is to make sure that it looks all the way. It's ambiguous and tricky on both...

    I like how mysteriously fairytales intertwine with our reality of suffering. It's as if we're going through life with half-awaken dreams and the truths are written plainly in front of us and in simplicity, but we are too bothered to...

    Breathtakingly heavy, the soundtrack is stunning. The male protagonist Bilbo Baggins, the captain of Star Trek, and the female protagonist is simply the teenage Uma Thurman. Two years after the film, he played the famous flying film...

    Taking the school bus accident as the main line and bringing up a series of events and relationships, it seems to be exploring ways to obtain psychological salvation. Parents who lost their children and lawyers who also lost their daughters. In the end, everyone failed and there was no final statement about the matter. As for why the wheelchair girl, one of the survivors, should lie, it is room for everyone to...

    I stepped back and watched several passages. The atmosphere of this movie is very good. Although it is a sad work, this is what I like without controlling emotions. It uses the story to advance in a very detailed context. The actors are also very good. They enter the play but don’t grab the show. They use another kind of tough acting skills to express the story and emotions very well. Once they have invested in the whole story, they will not come out, but I also suspect it is. Because its loose...

    Probably the closest Igo Young to Lynch and PTA. The damaged school bus is a coffin enchanted by time, summoning a traumatic past time in the distorted metal frame. On the other hand, this kind of trauma may also be a possibility of returning to the past, at the cost of having to make others continue to retrospectively reconstruct. In the film, along with the Puritan-like lawyer's imagination of conspiracy theories, the typified "investigation" itself is disconnected from the writing of the...

  • Mary: (Speaking of a new computer, a gift) From Mr. Stephens... That was him on the phone just now. He was calling to see how you were.

    Nicole: Who's Mr. Stephens?

    Sam: Uh, he's a lawyer. He's our lawyer.

    Nicole: You and Mom have a lawyer?

    Sam: Well, yes. He's your lawyer, too.

    Nicole: My lawyer. Why do I need a lawyer?

    Mary: Well maybe we shouldn't be talking about this just now, with you barely home. Aren't you hungry, honey? You want me to fix you something?

    Nicole: No. What's this lawyer business?
