      Those things outside of the movie

      There are two things that attracted me to watch this movie:
        1. At that time, the film selected two rare Chinese classics "Farewell My Concubine" and "Diet Men and Women" with a super dark horse attitude, and won the Oscar for the best foreign language film.
        2 Almodovar ( The female protagonist of my favorite director, Penelope Cruz, was a girly masterpiece ("All About My Mother" in which this woman starred was also awarded by the foreign language film "The Golden Man"). After...

      Belle Époque

      In 1931, the Spanish monarchy was replaced by a republic. Fernando (Jorge Sanz), a deserter from the Madrid army, is interrogated by two guards while fleeing. Among them, the veteran decided to let him go, but the younger soldier felt that he did not agree with the order. The two began to argue, and Fernando learned that they were Weng-in-law. Later, the son-in-law beat his father-in-law to death by mistake and regretted suicide by drinking a bomb. Seeing this situation, the frightened Fernando...

      The subjective influence of people is really very big

      Mom, it's too strong a political simile, very funny. It turned out to be the director of "Dancers and Thieves". In "Lumiere and the Forty Director", my favorite is his clip. I even painted a tiger dog "plagiarism" once. Trueva's love for political themes is true from the end.

      I think it can be compared with many of Kusturica's works. As far as the lens language itself is concerned, I still like Kusturica more in my personal preference, but the story is...

      Absurd is beautiful

      The title is called because this film has another translation name-Belle Epoque. I personally feel that it is more flavorful than a four-year-old lover.
        This was seen in the last film class. The teacher said that this is his favorite movie. Of course, this is not enough. Every time he puts on the movie, he says it is his favorite... It
        feels like Jia Baoyu has entered the Grand View Garden, and beautiful women with different personalities are all around you as a man. But in fact,...

      Four or two

      This movie is quite interesting. Although two people died at the beginning. A soldier accidentally killed another soldier who was patrolling with him. That soldier was his father-in-law, so he sat down beside his father-in-law, crying "How to confess to my wife", while holding a rifle into his throat and drinking a bullet to commit suicide. Soon you will see the four daughters with different styles and different styles. Penelope plays the youngest daughter Cruz, this is an innocent role she...

    "Belle Époque" is a rare masterpiece. The film shows a charming ukiyo-e painting of Spanish style through the love story of a fond family. The distinctive personality of the characters, the light comedy-like plot setting, the glamorous star performances, and the sometimes relaxed and naughty, sometimes gorgeous and meaningful music all make this movie exude a unique charm. "Belle Époque" not only showed the picturesque Spanish...
