      There is a companionship that transcends ethics

      Another work of heavy style and sharp analysis.

      He was never a man favored by fate.
      The war made him an orphan
      , and he lost his wife
      and only had an autistic mute girl, who lived with each other.
      Day after day,
      year after year,
      life for this father and daughter
      is nothing but a one-man show with a pale and boring plot.

      Until
      the impermanent life forced him to go down a road of no return,
      so he no longer backed down,
      so he no...

      To live is egoism

      French-Argentine director Gaspar Nou. His guts and awareness shocked the world. "I'm Hard" is his first feature film. Its power of shock and the malevolence that provokes viewers is not under "Irrevocable" (also by this dude). At first glance, the film seems to be full of sympathy for the underprivileged, but unexpectedly it is a trap carefully set by the director. It is not a social indictment of a tragic fate, but a cruel act of exposing the scars of human nature. It's a blatant morbid...

      It's like a video for an autobiographical novel, a monologue where the speaker cannot be found, and the story goes further and further. It's too much to test the old man's acting skills, and the switch between YY and the real in the final small room is probably the driving force to turn the text into an influence, even if you are sleepy for an hour, the last ten minutes are worth...

      Stream-of-consciousness and monologue-based film noir. The form is unique, the experiment is very strong, and the thinking is very...

      "I'm a sad dick, and in order to earn respect, I have to be strong all the time; you're my daughter, and I'll make you a woman." I've watched a lot of films about midlife crisis recently, compared to my classmate Manas from the alcohol program, This piece of impotence anxiety is the most serious. It's just that the male protagonist is a born loser, his life is in crisis, he fails to fight against the society, and he can't get revenge on the society. Moral rotten, lonely and world-weary, just...
