      How many Linyu dust-free nights are fresh in the dream

      For a long time, I have been wandering around in the daily life of removing the constant word, and I have returned to the most familiar and unfamiliar place, and the place where my dream has ended. I remind myself again and again not to be confused by the past. I am afraid that I will Wrestling in the same place. Yes, tonight, when my thoughts are full of floods and beasts are at stake, I want to vent my cultural literacy here. When I watched "Benming Year" starring Jiang Wen, this year is...

      The name is flipped oddly.

      Saw this movie, it was very good. Female subject matter, female director, very simple expression, the story is also very simple, but the plot twists. In the last years of mutual dependence, in the face of cruel illness, the old couple had to give up being together, give up for love, and work hard for love, which is very touching. It can be said that only women are willing to believe that there is such an ending.
         The open ending has a lot of space. The male protagonist is struggling in...

      When I forget you, please don't forget me

      Although I have never met an Alzheimer's patient after the onset of the disease,

      it is scary to imagine the feeling of fear and helplessness

      when my body is getting old and I can't even remember what I am. You can imagine Mr. Ever wondered if your wife was pretending to be sick? Because I once betrayed her but the last scene is when my wife said to my husband: please don't abandon me She is sick but looks like she is pretending to be sick but what she wants to say most in...

      "The Willows": Julie Christie is the only one who is excellent?

      "The Willows" is another movie about Alzheimer's disease (also known as Alzheimer's disease). Generally, movies use this kind of degenerative disease that can impair memory, thinking and action as the theme, and they are generally used to develop into two types of movies. One is two lovers who are in love, one of them is ill and gradually forgets the other, how can the two sides fight the disease with unswerving and earth-shattering love, such as the Korean film "Eraser in the Head". The other...

      "The Willows and Flowers" classic lines

      The worst habit of human beings is to be deceived by habit. It is only after crossing the rice field that I realize that I can put aside all my experience and meet the water lily willows that I also yearn for. I just saw my heart blossoming, leaning against the window, the breeze blowing on my face, I lost it, and it gave me a slap in the face, made me cry quickly, and the light road was long. I look up to the other side more bravely. Walk through the rough road. Willows and dark flowers are...

    About photography

    The film's cinematographer, Luke Montpellier, would change his shooting style as the scene changed, releasing the appropriate composure during the interior scenes of Grant and Fiona at home, like a series of stills The photos of the series are running, but while the crew is shooting on the ranch, Luke opts for a Steadicam, which has a special stabilization effect on the frame and conveys the male lead's unease very well. In order to...

    Evaluation action

    The theme of "AWay From Her" is thought-provoking, the tone is calm and restrained, and the true meaning of love is deduced in a slow rhythm. The female director Sarah Polly uses a calm tone to outline a touching picture of life. Under the director's gentle, slender and innovative expression, the film is endowed with an intellectual temperament that is lacking in the original work. The heroine Julie Christie's performance is deep and...

    Movie quotes

    • Fiona: I think I may be beginning to disappear.

    • Grant Anderson: I never wanted to be away from her.

    • Marian: I'm thinking that sometimes you just have to make the decision to be happy. Just decide. Things aren't ever what you hoped they'd be. Not ever, for anybody. The only thing that separates one kind of person from another is there are some who stay angry about it and there are some who... accept what comes their way.

      Grant Anderson: Which kind of person are you?

      Marian: I was pretty mad about it. But now... looking at what came my way

      [sigh]

      Marian: I think I could be the other kind of person. Quite the philosopher, huh?
