      In the absurdity of the world, you have finally found an angel

      Jane's appearance is mediocre. Her striking red fluffy curly hair and rotten teeth are the signs of her growth. She is extremely sensitive and sensitive to language. The twists and turns of her childhood made her lose self-confidence. All you want is always cringe. As soon as she was born, the twins who were connected to her by blood were the beginning of the deprivation of intimacy. The unexpected deaths of his two sisters later took a toll on his mental state.

      Angel at my table

      As an autobiographical film by writer Janet Fram, the rich and bumpy experience is enough to support a life of suffering, eight years of painful treatment in a mental hospital, a few months of love and the successive deaths of relatives... very Regrettably, the director's lack of control over the overall narrative, the attention to detail over the coherent presentation of the narrative, the near-fragmented editing and the lack of a description of the impact of experience on his work is very...

      She picked up the moon

      One of my favorite movies in high school was Capote.

      Philip Seymour Hoffman was an obscure second-rate actor who brought soul to this talented gay writer. Capote once said, "No one can play me," but he wouldn't be disappointed to see Hoffman.

      To write "In Cold Blood," Capote spent years reaching out to Perry, a murderer who was as sensitive and vulnerable as he was. He could almost be said to have brutally deceived this young man who was sympathetic to him. After the...

      universal truth

      If you often read biographies of women, most people will have an illusion, thinking that the world-renowned European and American writers are both crazy and stupid. You see, from Virginia Wolfe to Sylvia Plath, everyone's fate Many calamities, twisted characters, and paranoid love, but they are all talented, but it seems that women can only create great works that are shocking to the world if they have such a level of spirit.

      In fact, when a person is bored or suffers to the...

      inextricable innocence





      Fear no more the heat o'the sun Nor the
      furious winter's rages Her heart also meditated and trembled with her. I am ashamed in her naive love of literature, and indulge in her inextricable innocence. I also had a childhood like that, where I forced myself to be calm and inexplicably watched in cowardice, with tears in my eyes, unable to recover the death of a loved one. The words are like a pair of harmless palms, soothing the heart that is not familiar with the...

      I thought it was a boring movie, but I was shocked all the way, and I didn't dare to miss any details. The music was unexpectedly beautiful. The picture was beautiful like P's, but the story and performance were so real. This time, the subtitle of the Chrysanthemum Gang is...

      [UME Xintiandi Restoration Edition] Campion's second work won the Venice Jury Award. There is no sharp and rebellious style and rich and exquisite audio-visual language of [piano class], but it has the most authentic simplicity, delicacy and poetry of artist biopics. The externalization of the female writer's lonely, sensitive and shy spiritual world is very successful. | Stealing chocolate, soaring, wearing my father's big shoes....

    The film describes a sensitive and vulnerable woman who is always shrouded in the shadow of death. Only writing can give her the courage and hope to live. After writing her autobiography, she got real life. The story is euphemistic, poignant and touching. The performances of the three actresses who play Janet of different ages are very touching and can be said to be the key to the success of the film. As a child, Janet had tousled,...
