      Does anything else matter?

      Although it was criticized as the evening version of "50 First Loves", the acting skills of Uncle Ming and Aunt Gong are absolutely outstanding. If Laomouzi didn't ask them to play, it would be even more boring, with more than half of three stars and less than four stars. People who haven't really experienced that era should not be able to have emotions that shock their hearts. At most, they will be a little moved and emotional about the old days. The literature or film and television works of...

      "Return": chewing gum from more than 30 years ago (5/10)

      Zhang Yimou's "Return" is the movie I am most looking forward to in May, because it is a familiar subject matter and a sensational
      mode that Laomouzi is familiar with. Although I wrote a long article before saying that Zhang Yimou is also limited by the deep-rooted "
      melodrama , but after all, everyone has their own strengths. If this film type can be developed
      , And innovation is also boundless merit, just like melodrama master Douglas Sirk, Rainer Fassbinder.

      It's a...

      How did I get tricked into the movie theater by Zhang Yimou——An analysis of the application skills of American universities

      Article statement: I am not a film critic, I am talking about American college application skills.

      A lot of things don't exist by chance. You can think that a director with aura will make a bad next movie, but don't delusionally think that a director who hasn't made a satisfactory film in the last ten years can come back in the next movie. I already knew this was impossible. In fact, I still thought so after watching it, but at this critical time when I was deciding whether to buy a...

      What more is this

      I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I must have my own score for movies, so I have never known whether it should be three stars or four stars. Analysis and analysis, it can be said that the film basically abandons the brutal Cultural Revolution and blind class struggle in the novel, and uses a super calm method to stir up emotions. Your nerves, and because you are studying contemporary literature, I really understand these two people very well. It doesn't work at the back. It...

      Come back, keep the same feelings.

      A few years later, Feng Wanyu woke up early in the morning and carefully combed her gray hair, as if she had returned to her youthful age. Lu Yanshi also got up early again, pushing a tricycle, ready to take the lover who no longer knew him to the train station. It was a cold day and the snow was heavy, but Lu Yanshi, Feng Wanyu and her daughter Dandan were still standing at the exit and looking up. Rather than saying that they are looking for something, it is better to say that they are...

      First time watching a screening. One word spoiler: Lu Yanshi. Is it the most painful thing to fall in love and not know each other? Do the mistakes made by the times need to be borne by everyone? Love has gone through hardships and dangers, can it stand the test? Should relatives always come first in every situation? Is a man like Daoming the lover of every woman's dream? A good life is all about...

      Eight o'clock TV show. A crying nose movie with a thin plot must need a strong style catalyst (only relying on the song to play it back). Simplicity and subtlety do not mean that the amount of information is small, but the amount of information is diffused in another roundabout way, providing the audience with a larger space for imagination. This film is really closed, so few scattered fixed information, screen life Texture is missing. Two stars are all dedicated to Aunt Gong Li who made me...

      The moment when Lu Yanshi and Feng Wanyu hugged each other while playing the piano was so touching that I almost cried. However, the plot may be a little thin. I watched it at 1.5-2.4 times the speed of Baidu Video, which did not affect the plot at...

      If it weren't for the sake of seeing the two leading actors... When there is a problem with the internal driving force of a film, the characters and the plot are reversed, and it is normal for the audience to feel indifferent. Gong Li's performance is...

    Movie plot

    In the early 1970s, Lu Yanzhi ( Chen Daoming ), who had been separated from his family for many years, ran away because of longing for a farm transfer. However, it is not easy to realize the simple wish of reunion. Lu Yanzhi's behavior puts pressure on her grown-up daughter. Lu Danjue, the daughter of ballet dancers in dance school, is afraid to be a cold bench from now on. For this, she tried every means to do it. Preventing her...

    Evaluation action

    Among the criticisms of "Coming Home", the most common is that it deliberately pulled away from the background of the times, did not dare to face history directly, and relieved social pain with little love. The love between Feng Wanyu and Lu Yanzhi is steadfast, and the two are infatuated enough. This is imposed on the character from the beginning by the creator, and the character becomes a symbol for executing orders. However, they...
