      I saw the light: marriage is the light, don't miss it when you pass by.

      Sing in his way, Die in his way.

      Peach and plum spring breeze, a glass of wine, ten years of rain in the rivers and lakes.

      Hank Williams, Hank Williams, a superstar singer with a super handsome hat, his autobiographical movie has nothing to do with music, it is a marriage story.

      The movie tells a total of four marriage stories.

      The first paragraph: Even the worst marriage can give birth to a...

      I saw the lonely figure behind the light

      I don't understand why so many people would say that apart from Dou Sen, the plot is lacklustre. In my opinion, Dou Sen has added a strong touch to this biography, allowing the plot, the entanglement and pain of the characters to be expressed through the details, and it is a good film worth watching! Dou Sen almost perfectly interprets the image of Hank, the legendary singer. The interpretation of Hank’s life in the film does not necessarily have to deeply dig into the dramatic conflicts and...

      I saw the light

      If it weren't for Douson, I wouldn't have watched this kind of biopic, especially if I didn't know anything about Hank Williams. After reading it, I feel that Dou Sen's acting skills have not improved much in the past few years. I always feel too hard to let go. Dou Sen's temperament is really not suitable for acting yuppie. Meiyin is also very embarrassed, just like a Cantonese who insists on imitating a Beijinger to speak. I don't know why the director thought of letting an Englishman play...

      The glowing jar is filled with darkness

      Every time, when we face the shining singers on the stage, the celebrities who are smiling and beautiful on the screen, or the priceless collections under the spotlight of the museum, what we see is only their brilliance. Qiaoxiaoqianxi is also priceless.

      Fans or tourists who are watching with infinite worship make the viewers unexpected that there will be darkness under this appearance. However, the light and the dark are two indispensable parts that complement each other....

      It's not that bad!

      Because Dou Sen watched this movie and saw too many negative comments before, it was said that it was a bad film, the narrative was plain and there was no bright spot, so I made preparations for Dou Sen’s Yan Hege for two hours, and the movie was finished. , But unexpectedly good-looking.

      In fact, the face of Dou Sen in this movie is really not a bright spot. Most of the time, he is pale and haggard, with a sickly face. Although young, it makes people feel depressed (the...

      GTASA Country k-rose radio station Hey Good Lookin', I want to say St. Ann's radio first classic. If you want to hear Dowson sing a Hank Williams classic, this movie will satisfy you, and that's it. ....

      After Contributing to several meat-selling movies, Dousen originally expected to rely on this to turn around and make his masterpiece no longer blank. However, the whole film has nothing to say, and the characters are also lifeless. It's hard to believe that the actor's best performance was a cameo in Midnight in...

      No complaints about acting, costume design and music. It's just a tasteless biography with little morals to offer, especially after deliberately removing all the Christian context of his life...

    The production of "I Saw the Light" is acceptable but not compelling. The simple reproduction of a tragic story will not appeal to the audience. ("Los Angeles Times" review)
    The film is like an old hand-painted postcard. Although it looks good, it is always monotonous. ("New York Times" review)
    In addition to the film starring Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen's performance is worthy of recognition, this Hank Williams biopic by Marc...

    Movie quotes

    • Hank Williams: Everyone has a little darkness in them. They may not like it. They don't know about it, but it's there. And I'm talking about things like anger, misery, sorrow, shame. And they hear it. I show it to them. And they don't have to take it home.

    • Hank Williams: [after being jumped by an angry drunk] You need to control yourself, sir!

    • Audrey Williams: Sit down, you horse's ass!
