      "Valley of Laurel" is very attractive

      "Valley of Laurel" is very engaging
      "Valley of Laurel" is a very engaging life film. When it comes to lifestyle movies, people will naturally associate it with sex movies. However, "Valley of Laurel" doesn't talk about sex, but movies about lifestyle.

      talk without topic

      In the past few days, I suddenly had the idea of ​​​​finishing all the films of Kite Goddess, only to find out that she actually collaborated with Bell. . . It seems to me that both the film itself and the actors are a surprise.

      It's strange that people are eager to label each other, and then regard the same person as a confidant (so soul mate or something), and the opposite person is inviolable.

      There is no criticism or praise for various lifestyles in the film, only...

      A movie that I can't help but love (serious spoilers, be careful)

      He was always looking for an orthodox way of life, and he adhered to a code of ethics.
        
        However, temptation is always there.

      Laurel Valley is an awesome movie

      I took time to brush Laurel Valley today, and I will talk about my thoughts below.

      I generally don't like movies that are mainly life stories. My first reaction is: boring, running accounts, and I don't know what to do after watching it for more than two hours. The main reason I will watch this movie is that I like Christian Bale as an actor. But after watching Laurel Valley, I changed my fixed thinking about this type of film. It turns out that life can be made so interesting, simple...

      oh thanks, that's very flattering

      I was planning to watch all of Christian Bale's movies, and I saw another one today. After the Laurel Canyon movie, I checked my watch. It was 00:52. I sat in my chair and was in a daze for a long time, because I was sure I had to pay for it. Write something, but I don't know what to say about these inexplicably strong feelings of mine. So I searched for some reviews of the film, hoping to help me clear my mind, but none of them were right. Not at all. Many comments used the word "shock". I was...

    Evaluation action

    The rhythm of the whole film is gentle, the center of the story is prominent, and the structure is relatively compact. The only thing that makes people uncomfortable is that the film uses too many sexual scenes and foul language, but this is only to further illustrate the theme of the film. Which type of lifestyle do people prefer? Is it hedonistic, happy and carefree? Or prefer a serious, traditional, hard-working life? In fact, the...
