      The collapse of idols

      Every man has an idol in his boyhood. This idol is undoubtedly his own father. No matter how ridiculous, childish and ridiculous this father is, he is "cool" in the eyes of boys, even if the father can't bear the pain of losing his lover, he escapes. Family responsibility, immersed in vain arrogance, the boy is still willing to do anything for the idol. In his eyes, this is what a man should be. It is his own proud capital. He is expensive because of his father in front of his friends and is...

      The stories of New Zealand’s indigenous peoples, introduced by avril and liz, can be seen in eee’s little black room. Very funny, the whole article is full of obscenities, about MJ, about heroes, fathers, family, women, the future~ what I want to say is, this village is very interesting, I like this boy very much! ! Young man loves fantasy but is a pure man, man, the stubborn look and stubborn expression on the road ~ slowly sensible, picking up the burden of the family. From the beginning of...

      How cruel is growing up

      Text/Buenos

             Maori + growth theme, it is easy to recall the [Whale Rider] who won numerous awards around the world eight years ago, but it is no better than [Whale Rider] Hollywood’s eye-catching plot structure and traditional Maori culture. A big selling point of "Chong Ao" means, [Maori Boy] is a purely personal growth diary, loose tones, casual performances, not even infused with any micro-speaking, similar to the director’s previous work [Eagle vs. Shark], with a little bit...

      "Māori Boys" Without Scenery

      "Maori Boys"

      Maori, a movie describing this nation is still rare!
      The film describes a Maori boy in a remote village in Waihau Bay on the east coast of New Zealand who takes care of his younger siblings during his grandmother’s journey. Fortunately, his father, who has been travelling, returns with his accomplices!
      Why is it an accomplice? Because they are just small gangsters in the city, they came back this time mainly because they wanted to dig out the thousands of yuan...

      What a cute movie, especially the title, it's really cute and cute. This is a movie for teenage boys who worship their father, have crazy and obsessed idols, like fantasy, begin to have youthful sprouting, express themselves in front of the women they like, like to be heroes and easy to get into trouble. It's cute all in all, but it would be awesome if the whole movie stayed as stunning as it was at the...
