      A Little Afterthought about Indignation

      Philip Roth's novel is a little overt, but it still doesn't get rid of one flaw. I agree with the diversity of fiction. I think different expressions and forms are used in different situations. Whether it is a narrated novel story or a clearly expressed novel idea, it is excellent and brilliant. But unfortunately, the anger did not fully reach the former, so he did not win the Nobel Prize. As the best writer in America right now, I hope he realizes and corrects this, and I sincerely expect...

      outgoing anger

      This film is about a generation of youthful songs in the cracks of the United States after World War II, and the counterculture has not yet risen. In front of the door opened by the new world, they encountered the ambush of the old forces. I don't understand the cultural background of the United States at that time, so it's hard to understand such a film. There is no justice or not, only the confrontation between the male protagonists. Even the confrontation is very tortuous. A conversation...

      Two people who are suppressed and cannot be understood

      Both have their own unique personalities. In the context of religious morality, the male protagonist is an atheist and insists on his own opinions. There is no face-to-face set. The feeling of extreme emotional idealism is very beautiful and pure. Two people were not tolerated in that era, but God made them meet and fall in love, it was really touching that they met each other. The last male protagonist still offended the dean for his belief and was sent to the battlefield. Maybe he died on...

      unforgettable youth film

      This is one of the best youth movies I've seen. The production is beautiful, the plot is not bad, and it is quite deep. The only thing that's a little less so. . . . It seems that the male protagonist died in North Korea, but the uniforms of the Asian-faced soldiers are definitely not those of the volunteers, and the Korean People's Army does not seem to be an elephant. The hand-operated weapon is a Soviet-style rifle. Again, the ending is very sad.

      The male and female protagonists...

      The Adventures of Top Students

      The male protagonist is a student who is a bit negative and ambitious. He has a high IQ and is an A in every subject. In college life, apart from studying, he works part-time. He reads books in the dormitory every night, and does not participate in class activities. He is also a bit out of tune with his roommates. , so the roommate rehearsed Shakespeare and listened to classical music in the dormitory, which made his study and life difficult. It was not a big deal to move out with...

      This is not a very pleasant movie to watch, it can even be said to be a very serious movie, very depressing. The male lead is very skilled, and his movements and expressions are very precise. It is thought-provoking, and to fully understand the plot needs to be combined with the social context at that...

      The oppression of society, times, school and family environment, and the superposition of identity backgrounds have created an unreasonable and extreme ending in an extreme way. And all the elements actually still exist in different environments, so the unreasonable and contrived places seem to be worth thinking about. The English version of the national anthem is pretty good...

      Ross is after all one of my favorite writers in contemporary America. There is no problem with Shams' literary level, but the director is a little more conventional and...

      I don't feel angry, but helpless. The male protagonist didn't make an earth-shattering choice from beginning to end, but he still walked to this end step by step. Still love Logan...

    Evaluation action

    The film contains lengthy and elegant dialogue sequences in which the characters discuss their frustrations and anxieties at length. The film seems to be nothing more than a series of erudite discussions without deep impact. The moral superiority of the character Marcos is driven by empathy, which shows that he is an enlightened man, and the character Caldwell is a foil to Marcos' backward thinking. The actors' effort in articulation...

    Movie quotes

    • Marcus Messner: I don't care what it suggests, Dean Caldwell, I will not be condemned on the basis of no evidence.

    • Marcus Messner: It is important to understand about dying, that even though in general you do not have a personal choice in the matter, it is going to happen to you when it happens to you. There are reasons you die. There are causes, a chain of events linked by causality, and those events include decisions that you have personally made. How did you end up here, on this exact day, at this exact time, with this specific event happening to you?
