      Do we really see ourselves?

      Not to mention the overwhelming doubts about Dolan, let Dolan aside and watch this movie alone, I think it is a movie of high quality, with about three and a half stars.

      Of course, the reason for giving five stars must be Dolan bonus

      Let's talk about the relationship between the two, Matthias and Maxim

      A movie of my friend's sister asked two friends who grew up together to kiss, but the feeling that the kiss brought to the two was not just a simple kiss.

      Often because of an emotion, the story arises; the dissolution of the emotion brings the story to an end.

      Thirty years old is a stall, some things are finally unbearable, and some decisions are finally made. Even childhood dreams have long mutated.

      So Maxi finally has to leave her mother who has been on drug treatment for 6 months, even if she started as a clerk in Australia.

      So Marty began to wonder if the career planned by his...

      LGBTQ+ a few words don't just represent the story I'm going to tell

      After watching the movie, I feel flat at the story level, but I like Dolan's elaboration of the state of the characters when they grow up, and the discussion on growth vs. friendship, and I like how he expresses the state of a group of friends together. It's still Dolan's movie, but compared to before, it's not a self-repetition, but this movie is calmer, the character conflicts are lessened, but the things explained are still very real, and I like to tease the new generation in the middle....

      Love is like looking at flowers in the fog

      His expression of lust is wonderful. Not holy, not decadent, but expressing pure desire in just a few seconds of misty atmosphere. But it's not a small and fresh style, the simple sweet and greasy thunder and rain, this slow-motion comparison of clothes collection and kissing is full of moving. This is the most beautiful kiss scene of looking at flowers in the fog I have ever seen. The first time I met Dolan was when I saw the introduction to his Cannes appearance in a magazine six or seven...

      tangled

      To be honest, the movie viewing experience is not good, like a bottle of bitter wine, the taste is astringent, and the taste still stays on the tongue and refuses to disappear.

      First of all, most of the time in the film shows the lives of the two people, which makes people look very distressed, wondering why the two can't meet and talk well. Matthias lives by the rules. If he has a career, he needs to be quiet in the workplace. If he has a girlfriend and each other's parents, he needs...

      Recalling the past in a positive time and space, many Lan, like Matt, wrapped themselves up under the curse of film critics, lost themselves, and even dared not look back on their...

      Dolan really used the movie as a diary. Similar stories are not as good as the fantasy love he made when he was 20 years old... But he was moved because he was...

      Originally wanted to see: Introduction? "Touched by [Please call me by your name] and [God's kingdom]" What? ? ? Congrats to Wuli Dolan, it took only ten years to get out of the family problem theme and follow the trend to make a flirtatious film! ! ! (Hahaha, I think what I wrote is very thief, I don’t want to delete it) I have read: Dolan is exploring something new, new to himself and new to the audience at the same time. I have scolded a lot in here, and of course I will also like what I...

      3.5, the emotion of "Mathias and Maxim" is weird, it is more like a thriller. The strangeness comes from the continuous presence of the machine. For example, during the shooting of the opening "film", the printer slowly "spit" out the close-up of the faces of the two of them, and then everything in the film is built around that film. . In addition, at the end, in the panoramic view of the sofa at Matthias's house, the TV in the foreground divides the compositional space where the two are at the...

      It is rare to take such a beautiful picture of the friendship of young boys. It turns out that they are Dolan's friends in...

    Evaluation action

    If the film director can give the audience a reason to really care about these characters and their complex emotions, then the film content will not be particularly boring. However, the nominal bond between the protagonists has never been established vividly enough to allow the audience to fully experience the aftershock of the catalytic embrace. This may be the work that the director has not put in a lot of effort. ("Hollywood...
