      Love shines in the ordinary

      After watching "Love", my first thought was the film "Milk" shot by Gus van Sant in 2008. Harvey Milk is a politician who promotes gay rights, and he is also the first An openly gay politician who increased his influence on gay activism in the 1970s under his administration.

      In "Milk", the passionate and politically shrewd politician, the strong deterrent force of his speech in the crowd, aroused the collective consciousness of the homosexual minority, and even made people look at it....

      Love can prove the truth, every love is equal

      Highly recommended movie: Love is regardless of race, gender, religion, etc. Love is the best proof.
      The story is set in 1958, when segregation policies are still popular in the United States, and a love story between black and white people exposes human rights, civil rights, and tells the protagonist's repressed life under a racially discriminatory and unequal constitution, as well as the political environment. Mental oppression and trauma caused by black people.
      Rights and interests...

      A slow version of the Oscars textbook user manual movie

      Prediction: Running with the movie, the best director and the best picture will definitely not play. I hope that the best actor can get one. Almost all the people I met in Cannes expressed more or less disappointment with this movie. A friend from the LA team I met at the hotel felt the same way, except for the first shot, there was no bright spot! I told him that this film might be more suitable for Oscar, after all, it is politically correct, he shook his head frequently and...

      The resistance of ordinary people is from passive bravery to active resistance

      1. In such a serious film, how can I remember Han Han's "If you like it, you will be presumptuous, but love is restraint". The performance of the male and female protagonists is absolutely excellent, the eyes and expressions, especially the male protagonist who wanted to bail his black wife after being arrested for the first time, but when faced with the blood of the white police officer, he couldn't mix it up, and he was aggrieved, scared and angry. expression.

      2. The Supreme Court...

      love is enough


      This old photo of condensed time is
      enough for people to enjoy quietly for a long time,
      just because it records the importance of history, and
      because it freezes full of love.

      It was originally a big story, but
      this moment in history is
      slowly opened:
      it seems so calm and natural.

      There is no imagined treacherous political situation,
      no imagined...

      The calm and restrained leftist film reflects such a grand proposition about race, about segregation, about love and struggle in a calm way. The director deliberately focused the film's focus on the small pattern of the husband and wife and minimized the description of external conflicts. What he wanted to express was nothing but love, not politics. Because politics may be impassioned, but love is not, love is gentle, so-called still water runs...

      【Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Screening】A black and white couple fought for the legal rights of interracial marriage in the United States in the 1960s. What is truly remarkable is the real people and events that changed history. The film is neatly shot, intended to be anti-Hollywood and anti-climax, but it is still bound by the event itself and has no new ideas, even if it is not satisfactory. Even so, I still burst into tears when I saw the end credits introducing the real events and...

      They must have never imagined that a black man could one day be president. The hero and heroine are both brave, and I feel more pressure on the man in this incident, but he persevered, did not escape or betray, and praised a man's sense of...

      He is very calm and restrained, and he is always absent from rendering or sensational scenes of important historical moments. Jeff Nichols reintroduced the characters at a historical juncture into an ordinary couple who were close to each other. There is nothing ostentatious about the audiovisual language. The two leading actors gave delicate and moving performances. I was deeply touched by Joel Edger's concerned eyes as he stood by the car and watched his beloved go before his wife was about...
