      Everything has a cause and effect

      The paranoid and arrogant Marjorie finally made the "good guy" Bernie unbearable.

      Bernie is a magical being, he fascinates almost everyone in Carthage, like a bunch of "madmen", he is a paradox, their relationship is far from love, maybe they are only together because of a lonely other A too weak and good-natured man, so happiness turned into tragedy.

      The film does not reflect too much on Marjorie's arrogance and arrogance. In one scene, she ignored Bernie's rehearsal and...

      What stands out is that weird tone

      The first half of the film is good, especially the beginning is very catchy. The detailed description of the burial work reminds me of the beginning of the Japanese movie "The Burial Master", which is very comical.

      But this comedic effect seems to slowly disappear as the film continues, but it does not turn into a touching spiritual cleansing like "The Undertaker". Of course, these are two films with different themes and should not be compared in this way. But as far as the film...

      I don't think Jack Black has a breakthrough.

      Just finished watching this movie last night because I heard Jack Black challenged for amazing roles. Before the movie, I guess he'll be a gay dancer. The result is really gay and dancer, and the hair color is much heavier, but still not amazing.

      The beginning of the story is really fascinating, because ordinary people know very little about the process of burial.
      But Jack Black's acting has no breakthrough: consistent singing and dancing, consistent smile. The only surprise is...

      What a weird black comedy

      At first glance, I thought it was a warm film of "The Undertaker", because Comrade Fat Jack was very skilled in all kinds of make-up and face-lifting techniques for the deceased.

      I thought it was a funny movie again, because in the form of a pseudo-documentary, interviewing people of various colors and so on, so that everyone shows the fox tail, they have the immediate sense of "Modern Family".

      I thought it was a love movie again. The widow played by Grandma Shirley was...

      When Wang Mang killed Cixi

      ——The

      first thing I want to remind everyone is that this is not a comedy. It's actually a real event.

      What do you think when a warm, generous and versatile man everyone loves suddenly becomes a murderer one day?

      What would you think if the good guy just happened to kill a weird, disgusting guy that nobody likes at all?

      When Wang Mang killed Cixi, yes, it was such a story.

      Wang Mang before the emperor, and Cixi after the empress dowager. The...

      At first I thought this movie was a suspense thriller about Bernie's honesty, honesty, and inner darkness. Later, I saw that he was actually warm, caring, and willing to give. I was a little disappointed after being pushed to the limit by the old lady and shot and killed. This movie is not dark, but it is also I was moved by the simplicity but profoundness of the...

    Evaluation action

    The film is not like Richard Stuart Linklater's usual style, but somewhat similar to the black humor of the Coen brothers. It can be seen that the movie "Bernie" has a weird but also a joyful tone. Richard Stuart Linklater also interspersed many news interviews in it, and the style of a pseudo-documentary was somewhat unexpected. (Timeline Review) 
    The biggest feature of the film is that it has never penetrated into the heart of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Townsperson: [talking about Bernie Tiede] I mean, he just made everybody look so beautiful. Except too bad, you were dead.

    • Bernie Tiede: [reaching for a slot in coffin] If you pardon my reach, Mrs. Thompson, this is a memory drawer.

    • Bernie Tiede: Can I tell you, I am not fond of cremations. I just don't like the idea of someone spending eternity in something the size of a motel ice bucket.
