      The cold suffocation of tenderness under the cynical eroticism

      Comparing this movie with a great masterpiece, it seems very unkind to both the actors and the author of the original work. The reason for five stars is purely out of doting.
      The interpretation of the whole work is fairly smooth, and several of the more brilliant scenes in the book are also involved, especially the contextual reference of several jump words, which can still touch some audiences with unique tastes like me. And several episodes of sex addiction have been handled more...

      Getting love "on the verge of death" is just a small fragment of many misfortunes

      Shooting Chuck's novel is definitely not an easy task. The first floor, second floor, and third floor of St. Anthony's Sanatorium are like water droplets. The protagonist has sex with all three nursing nurses. This is also the style of Chuck's novels. He will describe the dialogues of the characters or his inner activities with great emphasis, while the surrounding environment is briefly described. He may be saying to the reader, "Fuck him, what you imagine is what you imagine, even if There...

      Alternative comedy

      It's hard for me to think that this is an adaptation of the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, the original author of Fight Club. The comedy techniques in the first half are still fresh, and after repeated use, they will naturally become boring and boring. I can't get the essence of this adaptation, it just feels like lingering in a few quirky TV scenes. The lines are not badly written, but judging from the hard-working performances of several powerful groups, it still gives me a feeling of being...

      the work of absurd chuck

      The fight club has made Mr. chuck famous in Hollywood. In my eyes, he is more like Peng Haoxiang from Hong Kong. The characters in the absurd scenes are full of warmth and deep thinking! The protagonist of this film has a neurotic mother, which makes him have some experiences different from others in his childhood, creating a certain degree of psychological shadow!
      In the film, his two major traits are pretending to be choke and fucking with strangers, both of which show his extreme...

      We are all sick, we don't need to be healed

      We are all sick and we don't need to heal.



      I like to see the stories around me through the eyes of the sick.

      Because people who are not sick are not necessarily sober.

      Is Sexual Addiction Caused by Sickness or Loneliness?

      Delusional disorder due to dissatisfaction or fear?

      Everyone in this world is scarred, and we just bear the brunt.

      Sickness and personality are all descriptions.

      However, the performance is...

      20120710hm is also written by the author of the fight club. I guess the original novel should be good, but the director's level is high and low - a little literature and art that is not too high, a small joke that is not painful or itchy, a slightly boring plot, and the ending goes It even feels a little confusing. A waste of Sam Rockwell's performance. Love at the emotional level often interferes with or even covers up the facts at the rational level, and manifesting in action is the beginning
