      feeling after insomnia

      Disclaimer this is not a serious review written mostly not plot and the movie exists in life The impact of the movie on life

      I haven't slept all night for no particular reason. The member has expired in two days. I want to watch two more movies. It's all a small price to eat. It's a big loss and I have to sleep at noon.

      My mother was in a light sleep halfway through the movie and wanted to release water but was afraid of waking her up. She held back until the movie was over and...

      I want to go back to my life

      There are many kinds of happiness
      . You can be very happy without anything,
      but you always feel that you are missing something. There is
      no good food, no good clothes, you can’t be extravagant, you can dress well, and you have to plan everything carefully. It seems that this is not the life you want. ...

      Money, always a serious and low subject.

      The Glory and Loyalty of Fans of the Originals

      It's almost a logical causal cycle of reading the original novel -- expecting the movie version -- and then relentlessly demeaning the finished product. There is no other argument that can be more confident and full of complaints than the "read the original novel", as if it is an inviolable right. Its subtext is, "I know the story better than you, no doubt", "I'm an expert on this drama", "I watched it come out and waited almost 18 months for its release", "And your The mere hour and a half of...

      Memories Carnival

      When I read this novel, I was probably just in high school, and it was the stage of rock and roll. Every day when I had nothing to do, I would watch an endless stream of music critics and despise my classmates who listened to pop music. At that time, my biggest dream was to form my own band in college. That's when this "Breakout Ranking" was on my bookshelf.

        Therefore, literary and artistic youths eventually become second-class youths in the depths. For a person born in the late...

      Broken Love Rankings

      I randomly chose a DVD at home and watched High Fidelity in 2000.

      Simple and easy themes and techniques, love commercial film, comfortable to watch. The male protagonist compares the most unforgettable experience of lovelorn with the Top 5 vinyl records, and often explains his feelings to the camera (remembering the narration called "direct cinema"). In the story, a large number of bands, records and songs are tagged. Unfortunately, I don't have much research on music, so I can't...

      A rock young man's view of love is easy to rank the list of broken-hearted love like a music list. There are various ways of arranging, but it ignores the melody that is closest to the ear. Tim Robbins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jack Black, the supporting cast is...

      I'm still too impressed with the book. The movie omitted a lot of things. My favorite is the part where he imagines how he should talk to Ray. The rest are so...

      Music full marks. Although the unlucky John Cusack is the best candidate to play Rob, it may be because the background is changed to the United States, which is far less mourning than the original. This kind of mourning with full damage value is an experience that you cannot stop feeling sad even after seeing the ending because the author knows too much and has been stabbed too much. It is also the essence of the original work, but the adaptation just lost this kind of...

    Movie plot

    Rob Gordon (John Cusack) is the owner of a Chicago record store. He and his two buddies, Dick and Bailey, are both avid fans of pop music. Leco knew everything well. But Rob's record store only sells old-fashioned vinyl records, and sometimes the three of them even drive customers out of the store because their music preferences are different from their own, so the store's business has gone from bad to worse.
    At the same time, Rob’s...

    Movie quotes

    • Rob: She didn't make me miserable, or anxious, or ill at ease. You know, it sounds boring, but it wasn't. It wasn't spectacular either. It was just good. But really good.

    • [Rob turns off Barry's tape]

      Barry: OK, buddy, uh, I was just tryin' to cheer us up so go ahead. Put on some old sad bastard music, see if I care.

      Rob: I don't wanna hear old sad bastard music, Barry, I just want something I can ignore.

      Barry: Here's the thing. I made that tape special for today. My special Monday morning for *you*... special.

      Rob: Well, it's fuckin' Monday afternoon! You should get out of bed earlier!

    • Rob Gordon: Hey, I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I'm certainly not the dumbest. I mean, I've read books like "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and "Love in the Time of Cholera", and I think I've understood them. They're about girls, right? Just kidding. But I have to say my all-time favorite book is Johnny Cash's autobiography "Cash" by Johnny Cash.
