      Breaking and Entering

      The whole film closely revolves around the concept of "Breaking & Entering".

         Breaking and Entering, legal term, meaning illegal entry.

          The story tells the story of how the son of the second female smashed the male protagonist's office to steal something and was caught by the male protagonist.
          Immediately after the introduction, the actor Will followed the thief Milo to his house, and noticed the second female, a single mother of overseas immigrants, Will's...

      Breaking or Entering

      On a cold and dark afternoon that was almost late at night, scattered raindrops floated outside the window, very much like the hometown of early summer, giving people a sense of time and space. Putting on headphones, drinking strong coffee, and enjoying this "Breaking and Entering", I remembered a friend's recent new QQ signature: to be or not to be, a classic line, maybe it would be better to change and to or here .

      There is Bea, a girl who is as neurotic as I am, but the storyline...

      How is it deconstructed?

      Deconstruction is about stripping out the elements of an abstract concept for better understanding.
        There are two kinds of life in the film, the life of Delo, a stable middle class, an architect, driving a landrover, sending a stepdaughter to learn gymnastics, and using imac. The other is the life of a Yugoslav refugee, living in a dormitory-like building, living without sex for 2 years, raising a son alone, and the son forgets who Laozi is, and is also dragged to be a younger brother....

      "Deconstructing Life" and "If only"

      It turns out that we feel unhappy because we sometimes see both the peaceful life and the pain as the abnormality of life.
      Humans like to think with complex thinking, and sometimes we can't escape that natural masochistic tendency. Sometimes we unwittingly exclude our friends and relatives around us, because we sometimes feel that they are not as ideal as we imagined or just don’t want to be together all the time, and everyone needs a little space. I understand that sometimes I get into...

      Boredom and cowardice may be the norm after a rich and stable life

      Although compared to Anthony Minghella's other two well-known films (The English Patient, Cold Mountain), this one has received mixed reviews, and there seem to be far more people throwing Rotten Tomatoes than supporting it. , but it's still a movie worth watching.

      The actors are all excellent, and JUDE LAW's slightly absent-minded and neurotic sexiness is still a bit sultry. He is too suitable for this kind of London middle-class elite yuppie image, that is, narcissistic and...

      So looking for love and need, so passive, even intimacy seems sad. When we say goodbye, we don't owe each...

      A movie in which two different classes are accidentally connected because of the rich and the poor. Personally, I don't like it very much, I feel that the level of storytelling is not good, and the others are not very...

      Four stars for good actors. The plot is very delicate, and the foreshadowing is meticulous, that is, the capture and return only depend on the sudden kiss of a man. It is really a bit more ironic in the considerate reality. Perhaps, the reality is so...

      At first, I thought Jude Law was quite powerful, when Binoche came out. . . Ugh. ....

    Movie plot

     Architect Will (Jude Law) is a young, handsome, wealthy, urban yuppie. He has a loving family, his wife Liv (Robin Wright Penn) is remarried, and he has a young daughter with his ex-husband. Although Liv is beautiful and gentle, Will often feels that Liv loves his daughter far more than he loves him, which makes Will's marriage gradually dull. Will's office is suddenly and repeatedly burgled. After calling the police to no avail, Will...
