    No country for old men. The tragedy of realism, it is rare that it is not sensational, and there is still a glimmer of hope at the end, although it is still hopeless. #Italian film masters...

    Is the lens language of neo-realism complicated? I am afraid it is not, but until today, the audience can have such a deep emotional experience, in the final analysis, it can capture and create the most full of emotional passages, and make every detail be implemented in the character's psychology. In a sense, it is also the peak of "psychologicalism" in...
