      a man who decided to commit suicide

      A man who decides to commit suicide, this is the message I got before watching this movie, it has some dark humor, and it appeared in the animated film section, which makes me think this is a dark humor movie.

      I like the tone of the movie and the way of clothing. I don't usually watch French movies, but when I come here, I feel that my whole person has become elegant.

      Closer to home, this is not a comedy, this man is really going to...

      What is the meaning of life, it is pointless to argue about it

      What is the meaning of life, arguing about it is meaningless. If you insist on it, it may be able to ruin a person's life, or two brothers who easily decide to die after a long time of torture. He is lively and curious about things. energy, but the younger brother follows the rules and is calm and composed, and he becomes a rebellious, idle, hopeless playboy, and the terrible thing about education is precisely that, being able to humiliate playboys in public to "guide" the assimilation of...

      A good movie, but it does not absolutely associate tragedy with art

      Are absolutely related to art, the psychological shadow of youth, unfortunate marriage life, and unforgettable lover are all nonsense?
      Art is persevering and moving forward with incomprehension. If the Mona Lisa is destroyed, will Da Vinci stop painting? The real art is the perseverance to overcome difficulties. The desolation and loneliness along the way can hardly be compared with the excitement and climax of creation.

      The whole play is accompanied by death, but it is so...

      Flavor of plum chicken

      The film maintains the aesthetic style of the original comics. Although there are live actors, it is still interspersed with animation forms and the use of various models, or it is used to decorate the background to create an atmosphere, or to narrate and look forward to the future with fairy tales. Brilliant colors, like a fascinated dream. The richness of the imagination is amazing, the dark humor and countless cleverly conceived scene narratives also bring a lot of fun to the audience. A...

      On the difference between a rain shower and a hot shower

      Rain is also counted in bundles. Fate never pours. The pour is just something that you long for, but you regret immediately after you long for it.
       
              I imagine that in my world, like chasing trains, chasing buses, chasing bicycles, things like that happen. When I was a child, I chased a bicycle. That was the first time my friend learned to ride a bicycle. For the first time, he had to ride very fast on the road, otherwise he would be unable to balance. It is a pity that there is...

      A good film that will come back to you after watching it. The memories are peeled off layer by layer until the end is revealed. The last paragraph is really great... Don't get entangled in the causal relationship of reality, this is originally a surreal one....
