      'Blinded By Light': A story of an immigrant family filled with laughter and tears

      To add another comment, I watched it more than a week ago. At that time, the viewing experience was very similar to "Farewell". There were many jokes about the generation gap and cultural gap between different generations of the family, but at the same time, it was recognized by family and people. Stories of finding yourself deeply moved. the difference is. This film focuses on the story of the protagonist who grew up overseas, was rejected by the locals, was bound by his parents, and tried...

      Thatcher's Youth Dreams and Family Love in the Later Period

      The story of the film has found its own balance between reality and dream color. The final graduation speech was very touching. 7 points+.

      A bunch of lyrics wrapped around the protagonist, well, shrug, but Sikh guy is funny - broken

      There are a lot of NF scum now, especially fishing villages - swastika

      The movie "Light Blind Youth":

      "Looking back at my life, I was devastated and trapped in my desires. I was busy in the crowd, but these thousands of sentient beings can't be exempted. They can't be exempted. They are sins. Yes, every square inch is a sin." (title song)

      "But that's your work. If you keep writing, it won't rot one day."

      The whole film changed from the most open youth film to a musical film, and finally became a chicken soup film, with a mixed style. Springsteen made it with his own money? Or did the fans shoot it themselves? Except for this Pakistani actor who is quite good, the rest are...

      When you are young, it is easy to be fooled by the big truth in the lyrics. The truly immortal songs are the most self-expression. The literature teacher is Agent Carter hahaha, lol. The part of the projector special effects...
