A masterpiece despised by the Oscars

I took a peek at the film on Roger Ebert's website before I went to see Frontier, and didn't look forward to seeing the low ratings. The film won a boring best makeup at the Oscars. But when I sat in the theater until the subtitles appeared, I felt that this was the best movie I have watched since 2019, and I felt that Oscar really made itself into a very boring and unbright commercial room. The biggest flaw in what critics write on Roger Ebert is that it's hard to empathize/resonate. I...

[Film Review] Border (2018) 7.1/10

BORDER, Iranian-Swedish filmmaker Ali Abbasi's second feature, has an enticing beginning, a thickset, Neanderthal-looking woman Tina (Melander), works as a custom officer in a Swedish airport and possesses a psionic ability to sniff out contraband through the malefactors' aberrant emotions (guilt, fear, rage, etc.), and a subplot of a pedophile ring surfaces when she discovers a secretive memory card from a spiffy passenger, and later, she is recruited to use her superpower to locate...

The most devastating spring drama

This has to be the funniest movie I've seen recently.

At first I thought I was watching an inspirational drama adapted from a real event.

The heroine Tina has a deformed face, but she is gifted with a magical sense of smell. She checked the crowd at the customs...

where is love

At the beginning, I thought it was a slow geek, but it gradually entered the plot until it was over. After a few days, I relived this story with a low-intelligence special person, which made people gradually adapt to the ugly appearance, the simple body, and the inner heart. The desire for who I am and how will I get along with the world and place my love ❤️ The inversion of the sex organs is also a shocking setting The ugly girl hides a desperate thirst for love under the mundane repetition...

Old wine in new bottle

There are more and more films of this type now. They have fantastic imaginations, slanted swords, expressive shots, and impeccable visuals and sound effects. They are absolutely eye-catching at film festivals. However, you can count the same labels and symbols from stories with different brains and different themes: ethnic minorities, political boundaries, self-awareness, gender and sexuality, etc., etc., and their plots Forced reversal, character growth is blunt, obviously against labeling...

The beast-faced human heart hides in the human world, takes off his uniform, between people and beasts, forests and rivers, intercourse between heaven and earth, human beings and monsters are indistinguishable, good and evil are indistinguishable, and the border is in the human...

The fantasy setting, the discussion of human nature and life, is a little shallow, and I feel that the length of the film can be expanded. I like the moment when they freely bathe in water and...
