      The difference between a dream and a dream

      "I can't say life is good after the storm, but I've always hoped that the Eskimo boy I dreamed about would come out and hug me, even if I stopped feeling like a fish and found myself ignorant, I'm glad I still Alive." This is a monologue of the protagonist Axel at the end of the film "Arizona Dream".

      The dream Axel refers to is of an Inuit fishing on an ice sheet. Fish, balloon, dog, wife, rescue, resuscitation, sex... He was fascinated by this dream, and the fish in the dream has...

      May you have an Arizona dream

      It was a flying fish, swimming towards the blue sky.

      Through the two-phase follow-two-phase series products produced by the library, I was fortunate to see the work of master Kusturica---"Arizona Dream".

      In the film, Uncle Pu broke the image of my former Captain Jack. This is one of his early works. In the film, Uncle Pu shows his prosperous beauty when he was young, and plays the ignorant handsome and cheerful country youth Aksai Erin, working a fishing job in New York,...

      Good morning. Columbus

      "Good morning. Columbus," my mother said, America is no longer a new discovery, and the distance between dreams and reality is very far. What is the difference between an apple and a bicycle? I knew it after a bite. It's tiring to think about what to do all the time.
      My dad told me that if you want to know someone's soul, just ask him what his dreams are, and you'll have sympathy for those who are disturbed by their predicament, my name is ALX, I work on a fishing boat, They thought I knew...

      Dreaming of flying fish and cactus

      The soundtrack of the movie changed little by little from absurdity to black humor. Just like the plot, the mother and daughter, who were hysterically hating each other, got better, and the naive boy grew up slowly in love that didn't understand decent values. He found that what he really loved was After the girl he once held a gun against, the girl chose to use the gun to end her own life. The acting madman is always inspired to imitate the plot performance in the movie, but it has never been...

      Pain and Overcoming Pain

      I want to watch all of Kustumil's films, but this one is left behind because it is a bit heavy.
        Elena: Because hormones fall in love with a person at first sight, that person becomes your whole world. Her dreams will also become your dreams, but it is difficult to help her resolve her hatred of you. When we decide to understand someone, it's hard to peel away the pain inside her. Happy sharing dreams like two children. But the pain will be revealed one day, the low self-esteem in old...

      Lao Ku's first feature film in the United States is as wild as ever. The essence of life is nothingness, and the American dream that seems to be within reach is far away. The play within the play and the tribute to "North by Northwest" are quite interesting, but the whole is still too scattered, and the deformed mother-daughter relationship and the absurd and exaggerated expressions between the characters are difficult to make the audience feel identified. The movement of the mirror and...

    Movie plot

    Alix (Johnny Depp) has left home since he was a child and lived happily in New York. However, one day he was suddenly dragged back to attend his uncle's wedding, so he returned to his long-lost hometown of Arizona. The customs of the hometown still seem to be so unpredictable. The people, things, and things that you come into contact with are very different from the past. I don't know whether it is because he has changed a lot or the...

    Background creation

    This film is the first English film directed by the famous former Yugoslavian director Emir Kusturica after he came to the United States. He directly cuts his keen artistic insight into the native American culture and uses his own unique film language to tell the story. The contradictions and hesitations of American youth between reality and dreams, responsibility and freedom. The style of the film is very different from that of...

    Evaluation action

    Depp said: "The distance between dream and reality is very far. I have to say what is the difference between an Apple and a bicycle? I have a bite, and I will know the difference." For Depp, of course he saw this movie. Pu didn't disappoint, he was as handsome as ever, and young, and he had a lot of vicissitudes of life compared to him now. In the movie, he is still a love type, and he is a little nervous, which reminds people of him...
