      Favorite movie, there is no one-[Mask] (from movie reviews)

      No regrets
      Burvo Litton said that if a delicate face is a recommendation, then a holy heart is a credit card. Rocky in [Mask] lost the testimonial when he came out of the womb, but you never have to worry about his credit card overdraft. Rocky, a 16-year-old boy of

      16 years and 6 months

      , is a cheerful guy like his hippie mother Florence. But it is extremely ironic: Florence is the embryo of a well-known beauty in the town. Even if she is half-old, she is still the...

      Rocky’s mother, Justin, is a violent family.

      nice. Typical inspirational film. Like the last part where he hugs his lover, even if he can't be together, he can still fall in love. Finally he died. Does it imply that there is no hope of life, but to die in...

      Naturally deformed face; prejudiced eyes; drug-addicted hippie mother; open-mouthed discussions have not defeated his optimism, positivity, sunshine and warmth, but how can people hear the pain murmurs in the middle of the night? At the beginning of the movie, to be honest, it was a little hard to watch - but the more I watched it, the more interesting it became. In the end, I didn't go to Europe, and I couldn't take off the mask. The beautiful yearning finally failed to meet this cruel...

      The kind of well-structured film that Hou Hsiao-hsien speaks of is the kind of film he rejects. It's too standard and law-abiding, it can't touch the nerves. The characters appear, and the events introduce the background and character, and push the story forward, followed by problems, and each scene progresses step by step, rising up, intensifying the conflict, accelerating its severity to an unavoidable peak, and after defeat, reconciliation. There is not a single wasted detail, and the...

    Movie quotes

    • Rocky Dennis: Mom. Do I look like a freak to you?

      Rusty Dennis: No.

      Rocky Dennis: You know, your always been big on telling me when my face doesn't matter, but, it does. Doesn't it? You think that I can't even get a girl to like me unless you pay for her.

      Rusty Dennis: That's not true.

      Rocky Dennis: Bullshit!

      Rusty Dennis: Bullshit yourself. You know lots of young guys got problems getting girls. Well, what if I was your dad and I did the same thing?

      Rocky Dennis: I'd hate that too!

    • Rusty Dennis: You're really not gonna give us that life expectancy shit are you? I mean, for years, I have listened to you guys bullshit. First you said that he was retarded. And then you said he was gonna be blind and deaf. And then you said that he'd never be able to do anything that regular kids can do. You know, if I had dug his grave for everytime one of you geniuses told me he was gonna die, I'd be eating fucking chop suey in China by now.

    • Rocky Dennis: [Ben shows up at Rocky's house to tell him he's leaving for good to Michigan for a job with his dad he got applied to] Hey Ben, what's happening?

      Ben: Rocky, I gotta talk to you.

      Rocky Dennis: Ok. You want some cake?

      Ben: No.

      Rocky Dennis: You sure? My mom made it. It's actually pretty good.

      Ben: No thanks.

      Rocky Dennis: You want something to drink?

      Ben: Mmm-mmm.

      Rocky Dennis: Found a noose to hang yourself. What's the matter, Ben?

      Ben: I've been wanting to tell you this for a while.

      Rocky Dennis: Well, what?

      Ben: Rock... . I'm going back to my Dad's in Michigan. He got me a job there. It's great money.

      Rocky Dennis: When are you coming back?

      Ben: I'm not coming back.

      Rocky Dennis: What do you mean, Ben?

      Ben: I'll go nuts if I have to stay here. I mean, my mom, the school. So I quit. Look, I can work back there. I'll be making 7.50 an hour.

      Rocky Dennis: What about the trip?

      Ben: I'm sorry, Rocky. Look, you can keep the money.

      Rocky Dennis: I don't want the freaking money, Ben. I wanna go to Europe. What about our trip, huh? Huh? How can you do this, Ben? This is all we've talked about for a year.

      Ben: That's all you talked about!

      Rocky Dennis: That's BULLSHIT, man! You talked about it too and you know it!

      Ben: I didn't know that. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

      Rocky Dennis: You know what you mean, didn't you, Ben? You know why? Because you're stupid! You are so stupid, Ben!

      Rusty Dennis: Rocky!

      Rocky Dennis: No more, Ben. No more taking it easy! I...
