      A thousand words on the deathbed

      Today, I want to talk about Thousand Words Before Death.

      It's a comedy, hard to believe, right? Starred by Eddy Murphy. It was very funny at the beginning, but later, I found it very educational.

      First about reading. Eddy never read a book. He said' when reading a book, I just need to read the first five pages and then the last five, that's enough.' But finally he couldn't speak anything useful, just normal words and simple sentences. When talking to Master Sinja, he found he was...

      listen to your inner voice

      Not long ago, when I had nothing to do, I flipped out a movie that had been stored on the computer for a long time. Re-reviewing it was different from the feeling at that time. The name of the movie is "A Thousand Words", and the Chinese translation is "A Thousand Words on the Dying".
        
        If you search for this movie and related introductions, you will find that everyone has not rated it highly, and there are even harsher language comments that are useless.
        If you are a senior...

      tree of life

      "Thousand Words on the Dying" uses a bodhi tree rising from the ground to symbolize the male protagonist's vitality, and opens the curtain, which is very magical and realistic.
      Then our Eastern thinking is easy to regard the tree as a symbol of spiritual strength.
      The tree symbolizes the "sex" in "life" in our traditional culture.
      For example, nature, habits, or vitality, soul, emotions, and desires.
      This should be a traditional oriental tactile way of thinking. It cannot...

      listen to your heart

      It's still unclear why it appeared in the nominations for the Golden Raspberry Awards, and I personally think it's a good movie. The aggressive manager Jack never seems to stop talking, and even goes so far as to obtain the copyright of yoga master Singa's work. Then all that changed because of a tree that suddenly grew in the yard. In fact, the tone of the film is still touching and thought-provoking. And the tree in the courtyard is Jack himself. Some things in life are as meaningless as...

    Movie plot

    Jack McCall ( Edward Regan Murphy ) is a literary publisher who is accustomed to disguising his guilty conscience and deceit with rhetoric. Talking without any turning point has almost become his style of dealing with people and even working, and he always It was indiscriminately suspending the already negotiated issuance contract. Although it made people hate it, it was helpless to him. For some ulterior selfish purpose, Jack aimed...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film was originally planned to be shot in 2008 and released in 2009. However, it was delayed until 2011 because of the division and recombination of DreamWorks, Paramount and Viacom.
    During the production of the film, Brian Robbins was often asked how he would choose if he could only say 1,000 words. Brian Robbins replied that he would come up with most of the words and talk to his relatives, who he loved. , It's worth him to do...

    Evaluation action

    The film actor Edward Regan Murphy contributed a lot of exaggerated performances. Because he couldn't speak, he had to use body language even to order a meal in the restaurant. However, such exaggerated and artificial jokes basically did not bring any meaning to the audience. The humor of the film, the unpleasant comedy is the biggest problem of the film.
