      Delicate skins are certainly pleasing to the eye, but shouldn't the process be more important?

      A lot of people say that the heroine is ugly, I'm surprised, don't all ordinary people around look like this, and there are many people who are not as good-looking as her.

      Besides, the heroine is just a little fatter, what's wrong? People have three-dimensional facial features, big round eyes, and dark hair. They are quite natural and close to life, right?

      Some people want to say again, it's right for an actor to be good-looking, so I'll ask this girl what's so ugly about her?...

      Beauty Is Truth - Personal feelings about the features of "x+y"

      In order to tell the experience of the math genius Nathan, the film has a lot of ink on the Olympiad, and also has a lot of writing on the teacher Humphrey. At first glance, it is easy to feel that the plot is too loose and bland. But we don't need to be overly critical of a film that seeks to show growth and transformation. Richard Linklater's "Boyhood" (excuse the limited number of movies I've seen) tells the story of a boy's growth from the age of 6 to 18. Although it is trivial, it also...

      should be better

      The science genius with withdrawn and social phobia broke the hearts of his parents and indirectly killed his father. With the help of a teacher who is sympathetic and sympathetic, he began to level up and dungeon, and went to the Taiwan Olympic Mathematics Competition. A kind and gentle and lovely Taiwanese girl opened his heart... In the end, it also resolved the conflicts and knots between him and his mother for many years...

      After I finished this introduction, I got a pimple...

      The equation of x+y love

      2015/5/19 (Tuesday) 14:00 at the Kaohsiung Cinema.
        Because I am a patient with Asperger's syndrome, I am a little interested in movies about Asperger's syndrome and autism. I watched this film today.
        Nathan doesn't understand the world, he has social and emotional barriers, and he doesn't know how to speak directly and tactfully. His mother went to a Chinese restaurant to help him buy food, meal number 47, everything was mixed up, he told her you can't do anything right . She is sa

      It’s rare to write complaints, but it was bombed by the barrage.

      Anyway, I think Jiao Yang is pretty. I'd be happy if I could grow like this.
      This movie has been marked for a long time, and I finally saw it today, at station B.
      First of all, I was deeply impressed by some barrages at station B, and once again experienced the harshness of women towards women and women in their own countries. From the beginning to the end of the movie, the words that scolded the heroine began to wave after wave, and they were not completely included. There were "the...

      What I like is that it's not conventional, it's not inspirational, it's not a bloody youth, it's an understanding of love. Although it's a pity Rebecca, but I also thank Zhangmei for her love to fill the vacancy of Nathan's loss of his father. I understand the efforts of my mother every time. Everyone has their own difficulties. The story is told very calmly, but they are all moved by Asa's performance. The soundtrack is too good to cry. The whole...

      Seeing that at the end, there is still no end to it, what moves people is not a genius, not a lonely and lovely, but an understanding of love. Many things in life are very important, points, money, status, honor, recognition... but only love comes from the heart, and then doesn't care about...

      Don't even want the Olympic gold medal for a (bitch) Chinese girl? Great Britain, who has been out of Newton Hawking Turing, doesn't even bother to pick it up. Asa Butterfield is growing so fast, he is definitely a literary and artistic young man who is rooted in...

      I want to talk too much, but not in depth, but the young man is beautiful, and speaking Chinese is a little cute. I don't like Chinese girls, it's a pity for the British glasses...

      Originally thought it was an inspirational film about autistic children breaking through themselves, growing up bravely, and finally winning the Olympiad championship. In the end, it turned into a love movie that doesn't love Jiangshan and beauty. The male protagonist hooked up with Chinese girls at a young age. ! Mathematical Olympiad is no match! Elope! What the hell! What a...
