      Two pieces of waste wood can also support each other

      I watched this movie a while ago, and I shrunk the window and placed it in the lower right corner. I watched it one by one while spending time on Kaixin.com, and I laughed half-dead in the process.

      Looking back, I feel that I am a little sorry for this movie with such a careless attitude towards watching the movie, so I specially made time tonight, closed the webpage and closed the chat tool and watched it again seriously.

      There was still a smile on his face during the...

      Maybe we all need to escape

      In the face of the real world, I want to escape to a certain extent.
      People are giving up everything in front of me in different ways,
      but I am still insisting. This persistence is actually the way I use to escape to
      isolate myself from myself . There is only one window left in the world where you can see the moon.
      Maybe I am just embracing the whole world and even the universe in my own way?
      From that window, I kept looking for the motivation to live.
      Finally, I...

      A bowl of fried noodles, the happiness of two people

      Hahahaha, how could there be such an adventure, it's so funny....

      Connecting two people through the lens, the lens is really a magical thing, allowing you to see a more wonderful world. That's how the movie is, it opens another window for you to watch what you want....

      By the way, the fast food advertisements in the movie are well implanted with "delivery anywhere", hehe, it's strong enough , This slogan is great. I don't know how the original Korean language is written. The...

      modern man's disease

      For the male protagonist, the sweetness of life comes in the moments of attempted suicide, squatting on a desert island to poop, and sucking the nectar in front of him.

      The close-up stops on the hero's face, from surprise to joy to crying.

      At this embarrassing moment, the pressure of life seemed to be relieved from this unfortunate man, as if I had also tasted the sweetness of nectar.

      I think this scene is the most beautiful moment in the whole film.

      The...

      On the field of hope, a heart that cultivates fried noodles

      Some people on the Internet say that Mr. Jin is a bad guy. In fact, I’m even worse than him. I’m just a bad girl. When I

      wake up in the morning, I sit on the bed in a daze. My mother called and I cried without saying a word. My
      mother said: How have you changed? Is it like this? You used to be a girl who was curious about everything and liked seeing everything and was happy with everything, how is this now?
      I had no choice but to cry and say: I don't know, Mom, I didn't know...

      Recommended~~! The uncle Zheng Zaiying performed very well, and the beauty Zheng Liyuan has become so thin that her face is a little deformed, but it fits the tone of the heroine of this film. The adventures after the attempted suicide changed the fate of the two young people. nice! ! After watching this movie, I want to buy a high-definition camera AND a telephoto SLR. Cannon, cannon. ....

      The delivery of fried noodles is completely bright! It's just that the last two meeting ruined the atmosphere of the movie, maybe both of them are more suitable to live in the endless thirst for the unknown...

    The genius of "Kims" is that it has opened up a small "Xanadu" for the highly developed urban life, specially for those who have been abandoned by society voluntarily or involuntarily for a long time, so there is a new era of "Rubin" Son". (Sohu Review) 
    "Kims" gives people a sense of freshness at first glance. Isn't the day when the protagonist eats wild mushrooms and roasted bird meat the paradise we want? The film depicts people's...
