      The picture is beautiful

      I just watched this movie, and I feel that the director is a person who has high requirements for pictures.
      The storyline is no longer repeated.
        It feels very strange that the first few people who wrote comments found it a little funny.
        Maybe my "laughter point" is a bit high recently, so I didn't think those scenes were funny, but I thought the lines of eating potatoes were a bit weird.
        The person in front of the music in the film said it reminded me of Yugoslavia. I...

      big sunflowers

      A few days ago, I watched "Everything Is Illuminated", which is based on the novel of the same name by Jonathan Safran Foer. When I went to buy a disc, I saw a large sunflower on the cover, so I took it out and took it home. Sunflower has never been able to refuse. After watching it, I closed my eyes and my eyes were still full of sunflowers, a blockbuster.

      I didn't expect it to be a road movie. Unexpectedly, it is actually the old man's root-seeking journey. Unexpectedly, the original author also participated in this film. Unexpectedly, it is an anti-war story with a "comedy" core but a "sad" appearance. Finally, the male protagonist really never played Harry...

    Movie plot

    In the fall of 1998, when the Star Wars craze once again swept the world, four Star Wars fans crossed the United States with only one purpose: to break into director George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch to watch the first Star Wars movie in advance. The reason is that one of the young men has been diagnosed with an incurable disease, and the remaining young lives cannot wait for the film's premiere in May...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The director of "Fanboys", Kyle Newman, is a big fan of "Star Wars" himself. Talking about the two sci-fi classics Star Wars and Star Trek, Kyle said: "When I was a kid, I was very interested in all space movies. Watching Star Trek It feels like reading a science fiction novel, the story of the movie is based on a certain scientific basis, it will make you feel that the plot in the movie may be what will happen to the earth in the...

    Movie quotes

    • Alex: [voice over] This is Grandfather. Like my father and myself, he too is dubbed Alex. My grandmother, Anna, died two years before of a cancer in her brain. Precluding this, Grandfather became very melancholy, and also, he says, blind. His most recent employment was Heritage Tours, a business he started in 1950s, mostly for aiding rich Jewish people to search for their dead families. It is a strange employment for Grandfather, as there is nothing he hates more than rich Jewish people *or* their dead families.

    • Alex: [voice over] Now I must tell you more of myself. I an unequivocally tall. I do not know any women who are taller than me. The women who *are* taller than me are lesbians, for whom 1969 was a very momentous year. For me, America is a first-rate place. Most of all, I am beloved of American movies, muscular cars, and hip-hop music. I also dig Negroes, most of all, Michael Jackson. He is a first-rate dancer, just like me. Many girls want to be carnal with me because I'm such a premium dancer.

    • Alex: How much currency would a first-rate accountant receive in America?

      Jonathan: I don't know, a lot, probably, if he or she is good.

      Alex: She?

      Jonathan: Or he.

      Alex: Are there Negro accountants?

      Jonathan: Yes, there are *African American* accountants, but you don't want to use that word.

      Alex: And homosexual accountants?

      Jonathan: There are homosexual *everythings*. There are homosexual garbage men.

      Alex: [shocked] And how much currency would a Negro homosexual accountant receive?

      Jonathan: You really shouldn't use that word.

      Alex: Which word?

      Jonathan: The N-word. It's not *the* N-word, but...

      Alex: Negro?

      Jonathan: Yeah, that one.

      Alex: But I dig them all the way. They are premium people.
