      It's still shocking

      Hypnosis... I didn't sleep well today, and watching this in the morning is a torture.

      1. Conflicts are basically zero. However, the storyline can have ups and downs, so why don't you make an intense plot?

      2. I found that I didn’t call Spielberg very much. I didn’t watch any of the “connotative” films he made seriously, such as “Band of Brothers”, “Artificial Intelligence” and “Schindler’s List”, except for “ Commercial movies like Jurassic Park. He is indeed a master, but unlike...

      2017.08.04 First look, 30th anniversary dual-disc Blu-ray version.


      　　2017.08.04 First look, 30th Anniversary Edition, 2-disc Blu-ray Edition.
      　　When I look at it today, it is the 40th anniversary, and it feels weird to see the 30th anniversary commemorative edition. . .


      　　From today's point of view, I feel that the plot is so dull, the aliens are so ugly, and the colorful spaceships are so ugly, I almost thought they were traveling to Earth singing "the most dazzling ethnic style". . .

      　　I just finished watching the latest...

      Music is the highlight

      The story is lengthy, but it is also to show the need for authenticity and rigor. This is in stark contrast to many sci-fi films that are too advanced and unreal. Therefore, for many fans who pursue novelty and excitement, this film may not be so Strong attraction, but it is really because of the long and real foreshadowing that makes the whole story more plump... The final music and pictures are really shocking, and I can't help but feel tears in my eyes, and now China is also There is no such...

      How will these alien believers react to the various theories and legends in this epidemic? Spielberg's "Encounters of the Third Kind" almost feels like a conspiracy theory movie most of the time. It originated in the 1970s during the transition from the Cold War, and the political significance behind it is self-evident. But compared to the various conspiracy theorists of the day, Stuart is praising humanity's perpetual curiosity and desire for good-natured communication, which is incomparable...
