A Better Life: Falling into the cliché, the Eyes are Enough
As usual, the beginning begins with the plot. The father and son came to the United States from Mexico again. The father kept a low profile because he did not have an ID. The son did not study well and was associated with bad teenagers. To let his son live a better life, the father borrowed some money to buy work tools, thinking that he could be the boss, earn more money, and give his son a better life. Who knows that the tools are stolen, and the other party is also poor. The father and son...

"A Better Life" is a Family Movie Worth Watching
The 84th Oscars, which I have been focusing on all morning, finally came to an end. Although the American movie "Better Life" (A Better Life) did not win anything (was nominated for the best actor), this drama about family love is still worth seeing. The whole story is told from the perspective of a Mexican father and son who illegally immigrated to the United States in pursuit of a better life. It is a true but poignant story of leaving home but finding hope in life. Every father...

I didn't catch up with the Transformers in the morning show, so I watched this movie by the way. To be honest, if it wasn't for my friend's recommendation, I would never have chosen this film to watch in the cinema, what a waste of sound and light effects. Besides, the neighbors seated are all silver-haired people. . .
This film still makes people feel calm and watch it, let’s talk about a few points:
1. People in trouble have no choice?

Will we be kinder to "peasant workers"? Stop calling this word
1. I like a light plot, and I will quickly enter the play when I am moved by the actors.
2. A family story in the context of immigration, a son who is eager to "Americanize" with a mouth full of "man and kid", and a father who is struggling for his son's American dream.
3. Thieves and a group of poor immigrants are all beautiful, including gangsters.
Fourth, the tension in the viewing process comes from the invisible US government, which has no positive performance at all....

For film creators, it is very easy to get emotional points by telling the stories of ordinary people. It is said that every family has a hard-to-recite sutra, so who doesn't wonder what sutras the neighbors will recite when they close their doors? And I guess I'm mostly concerned with comforting "stories" that make me feel irrelevant and lucky—tragic, unbearable, secret. Of course, there are also some who are looking for resonance.
It's about life in life. A long time ago, a...

The little stories of little people, without thrilling scenes and anticipating reversal plots, are such ordinary days for illegal immigrants, which accumulate moving energy over time and guide us to persist for a better life for a while. Try...
