      Harsh Times of one person

      The story of killing a good friend was filmed as a story of a man's self-destruction.

        Bell's strong body and fragile brain represent the United States? American?

        From the dreams in the opening film to the job hunting experience to the buddies' questions (the advice of buddies when they parted from Mexico: "You should go to the psychologist; you should go to the army; report the war"). The director took the trouble to tell the audience: his mental and psychological...

      Unbearable

      The theme of the movie is post-war trauma, but the performance is not very straightforward. As an audience, he also finds that the key point will feel that the chaotic

      male protagonist returns from the battlefield. Although safe and sound, the experience of the war has made him unable to return to life and use ordinary Thinking about the memories of "cutting people up" on the battlefield, he can only keep himself from thinking about it through chaotic relationships, drug use, and...

      Only love men, not hooligans.

      This time I learned well, and I definitely don't look at other people's comments first, otherwise they will all be led by the nose.
      So before the protagonist of fucking pointed the gun at his girlfriend, I didn't know what the movie was talking about.
      Then I found that Latin American culture was too violent and severely damaged my young mind.
      Drinking with my brothers, hanging out, everyone, taking drugs, this kind of life is so far away from me.
      Then I was very sure that...

      Gun don't kill people, I kill people

      Perhaps the tyrannical acting in AMERICAN PSYCHO has not been completely detoxified, and the mechanics have not recovered from the sequelae. The new Batman BALE classmates continued to be abnormal human machos, plus training Japanese screenwriter AYER as the director’s consistent tough guy style, will be post-war. It is not easy to describe the trauma of such a macho. The film sincerely combines the adult crisis of the bewitching. After all, the pressure of supporting a family is not easier...

      Relatively boring, the same narrative, without the shock of the end of the warning, Bell is a hooligan. Is American society so chaotic? Relatively speaking, I think if citizens have the right to open guns, it will help reduce the crime rate. I thought it was an action movie, but it was a bit heavy, but the strength was a little painless. That beauty is actually Eva, Parker's ex-wife. If you don't check the cast list, you will be...

    The French title of "Harsh Times" was changed to "Bad Times". In fact, this translation is closer to the core of the film (Sohu Entertainment Review)  . The film is a crime-themed film. The film focuses on social phenomena that Hollywood has paid less attention to. After the retired youth return to normal social life, they have nothing to do and eventually sink into alcohol, drugs, and crime. This is a relatively realistic problem in...
