      Never met anyone like you

      Paul Dano is suitable for playing this kind of sullen and sensitive abnormal man
         Zooey Deschanel is suitable for playing this kind of confused fragile abnormal woman
         So when Z cried and said, I really care you ...Never met anyone like U When... I almost got a standing ovation
         and then I texted Come, "you must see"

         I remember you sitting at the window all day, softly saying, all day, you were the only one passing by
         I remember you were afraid...

      feel good


        Before the movie opens, people from the movie theater (it's a small movie theater in our town) will come in and give a verbal introduction to the movie and some upcoming movies

         . To this movie, he says you will see something that you quit not expected, well I dont know you guys, but its out my of expect its good tho, great performance its fun and enjoy.

        After watching it, it seems a bit beyond my expectations, but it's a good thing (I thought it was just a...

      everyone is weird

      I haven't seen a good movie for a long time. This is my standard for a good movie. The psychological description of the characters is real enough and freehand enough. There are waves in the calm.

      Everything is so reasonable because everyone is a weirdo


      . The last part of them at the dark table The dialogue actually reminded me of the words I watched in front of the bonfire in "My Idaho" n years ago, some sacred moments are some rare and precious moments are some people...

      i was cheated

      Looking at the poster, I thought it was a funny movie like Baby Project, I was deceived~

      Lonely City, melancholy young people, nonsensical beatings, nonsensical cold shots, made me want to close this movie several times.

      I insisted on reading it, although there are still a lot of things I don’t understand, such as why the heroine vomits like being pregnant, such as why the hero was shot (is this also imagined?), and finally the heroine’s idea also became too much Soon, one...

      long water

      It is also an independent sketch, [Gigantic] is good. It is not as good as [The Savage Family] has a realistic theme, and it does not have such obvious inspirational cards as [Little Sunshine] and [Blue Mascot], although it also uses "Imaginary Attacker Materialization" explores psychological problems, and it is not like [big man Napoleon] and [Inflatable Doll Love] playing all kinds of tricks on "weird people", but it really learns from others' strengths, and is slightly loose. Beneath the...

      Took a lot of time to read it. . . The zooey chick is really beautiful! The male protagonist is the older brother in miss sunshine. At first, I thought this young man was very cute~ He really loves to clean...

      Ouch, I really like the tone of this film, the love that comes slowly, don't worry, life is so long anyway. And summer's nudes, so beautiful. There's not much dialogue, the camera says...

    Background creation

    make movies like novels
    Director Matt Aselton chose to tell the story of an adopted child. You know, making such a movie is a very difficult thing, and the difficulty lies in the writing of the script. Matt Aselton said, "Adam Nagata [the film's screenwriter] grew up hoping that his parents would adopt a Chinese child so that he could justifiably have a little brother or a little sister. The only child's childhood is often lonely, and...

    Movie quotes

    • Brian: [first lines - watching rats swimming] Okay, he stopped.

      Larry Arbogast: Which one?

      Brian: S-seven.

      Larry Arbogast: Start the stopwatch.

      Brian: Is he okay?

      Larry Arbogast: Yeah, he's fine... Stop.

      Brian: What does that mean?

      Larry Arbogast: Nothing. Well, the logic is that when forced into an aversive situation, i.e., being dumped into a pool, the rat will oscillate between attempts to escape and resigning to its fate.

      Brian: Oh, and this guy gave up.

      Larry Arbogast: Today he did.

      Brian: Does he usually?

      Larry Arbogast: Yeah. See, I'm trying to quantify how helpless this one feels, and why more today than yesterday. Though it seems that Mr. Seven is always a little bit of a quitter.

    • Larry Arbogast: Did you know women are 20 times more likely to be depressed than men? Maybe more, can't remember the exact number - it's a lot more.

      Brian: That's good... for men.

      Larry Arbogast: Not really, when you think about it heterosexually.
