      Donnie Darko--Makes Me A Little Bit Incomprehensible

      It's really a bitter and incomprehensible work. It's like you're reading a big book. This should be a work with the utmost care of the author, but it's just a little too deep, and we can't understand it. Of course, there are sometimes exceptions. It cannot be ruled out that some people are pretending, and this film should not be one of them.

      It is said...

      It's actually a story about love

      I admit that I'm very emotional.
      I always watch a movie with an emotion. If it's a good movie, then this emotion will be released with the movie. It feels good and happy.
      Once, I watched "Babel" with a sense of hatred and despair. I saw the cruel reality, and I realized the mediocrity and triviality of life. Is death a great tragedy? No, maybe it's liberation, what really destroys people is the walking dead life.
      This time, I went to see "Death Illusion" with inescapable desire...

      Creativity is good

      I want to talk about the second part together when I
            watched "Death Illusion 1", I thought that this movie is like "The Sixth Sense" about what happens after a person's death. This movie has always given me this feeling after watching it. , also reminded me of a movie that also told about what happened after some people crashed and died. I forgot what it was called. Moreover, there are some texts of time travel interspersed in the movie, but I don't always understand it very well. I...

      In fact, what the director wants to express is the pain of being misunderstood mad world

      It is recommended to watch the director's cut version, which is more than 200 minutes long. After reading it, read the translation of the book. That book is the macro premise of the whole movie. In fact, this movie is a science fiction suspense, but I think it is a A movie that reflects people's hearts, the director's debut, and the mad world at the end is what the director wants to express. In this crazy world, remember that the male protagonist had a conversation with his father, and he and...

      If this is not fine sharding

      Even if I understand the setting, I still think the story is stupid, and Jake's weird smile has been criticized by the audience. It can only be said that this film may well capture the fantasy of young boys (power, sex, fear, love, Super power, protection, rebellion, outsmart), think about it, it's probably not a bad movie, but as a girl, a girl with a delicate and romantic heart who also has a fantasy world, this totally different feeling really makes the viewing experience greatly reduced. ,...

      It's hard to watch and hard to understand, but that's all for later. Just the moment I watched the film, I suddenly had a feeling that I didn't understand anything, but it suddenly dawned on...

      Fortunately, after watching it for so long, this film can be used as a college entrance examination question, ==! , if you don't believe me, you can try it. This is the first time I've watched a movie so much. The cast is strong, and seeing so many familiar faces of youth, I sigh with emotion. There is also the last classic Mad World, which is too sad and fits the plot closely. This original version is better than Adam's. Adam's is too festive, and the original version is even more...

      The kernel is nice, but it's too much of a drag for me...but, shamelessly added one because of Jake Gyllenhaal...

    Movie plot

    Like other young teenagers, Tony also has a lot of dissatisfaction: there are conservative nagging teachers at school, parents and sisters who don’t know him at home, and a group of pig friends and dog friends, until a giant named Frank The rabbit appeared before his eyes. Frank hypnotized Tony to do all kinds of weird things, until Tony's room inexplicably appeared with the wreck of an airplane engine, and a beautiful transfer student...

    • Karen Pommeroy: [to Principal Cole] I don't think that you have a clue what it's like to communicate with these kids. And we are losing them to apathy, to this prescribed nonsense. They are slipping away.

      Kitty Farmer: Okay, now, girls, I want you to concentrate. Failure is not an option. And, Bethany, if you feel the need to vomit up there, just swallow it.
