      communication

      Many people say that many problems between people are the lack of communication.
      I approve and disapprove.

      Agree, it is a good thing if communication can achieve mutual understanding.
      Everyone understands what the other party wants, so they can satisfy each other and be considerate of each other. That's a good thing.

      But what if you can't communicate.
      Our common way of communicating now is talking. But I think many people have encountered this situation, the...

      "City Island": standard modern American light comedy

      Independent films, according to our popular understanding, are low-cost, small-production films with simplified techniques and no profit-making purpose. Because independent films are less affected by the outside world in terms of investment and shooting, directors can maximize their artistic imagination and shoot according to their own wishes. In fact, this has both advantages and disadvantages. Due to the maximization of the director's freedom of shooting, independent films are often...

      That's life.

      This is a very life-like film. "Everyone has their own secrets", and the Vincent family interprets this phenomenon vividly and vividly. At the beginning of the film, every day of a prison guard is monotonous and full of strange flavors - everyone in the family has their own secrets. Fortunately, two characters who have the potential to change the situation have appeared, one is the next generation of prison guards when they were young, and the other is a smart woman who also left her family and...

      city/island

      That's right, I was attracted to watch it because of its title. I thought this movie was about the indifference between people and people, but I didn't expect it.

        Well, everyone has secrets, all kinds of secrets, everyone has some hidden secrets, we are in contact with different people every day, and saying this is different, I admit that I do too, and I do it well, But I don't know if this is right or not, just go with the flow. People like me very much, and they all say that this...

      Pieces worth seeing

      It's a very cute little comedy film. From the plot point of view, it is more attractive, although it still uses the old routine of creating a lot of contradictions and breaking out in the end. But I still like it very much, so in fact, the plot is not the only attractive place.

      The first reason I like this movie is the music. The music at the beginning makes me want to finish the movie. Then, I recognize Andy Garcia's face. The most important thing is that the actor's (Andy Garcia)...

      Brilliant comedy! A leader in independent productions, with brilliant characters, a sophisticated script, four lines of advancement finally converge into a climax, with a tight-knit dramatic structure. The theme melody is really Italian, godfather and gangster, especially the moving shot of Andy going to the audition to line up, it makes people go to the godfather =...

    Movie quotes

    • Vince Rizzo: Did you sleep outside last night?

      Vince Jr.: No, no, no. I did heroin with a bunch of prostitutes at the Plaza Hotel. I'm thinking of becoming a pimp.

      Vince Rizzo: Good. I'll see you later.

    • Vivian Rizzo: I'm not a hooker!

      Tony: Showing your tits for money, what's that called, 'librarian'?

    • Molly: Well, think about it Vincent. Acting is one of the strangest things a person could possibly choose to do. Pretending to be someone else, who was dreamed up by some third party. It's like agreeing to be a marionette.

      Vince Rizzo: Why do you act?

      Molly: Really, what other profession could accommodate my sort of behavioral problems?

      Vince Rizzo: Yeah, sort of like getting paid for being a professional screw-up.

      Molly: [giggles] Perfect.
