      New Firm?

      It was unexpectedly boring.
      Although there are not many tilda swinton plays, they are very exciting, and it really comes out with just a few eyes.
      Maybe because Sydney Pollack is the producer, the movie has a bit of his style and reminds me of the firm - it turns out that he is the old guy who throws a party and asks Tom to deal with the OD in the eye-opening old prostitute.
      Clooney is really good for this kind of lawyer. This Clayton is a grey figure.
      Although I have used...

      That's all good, but I just don't like it

      It's not that you are bad, it's just that we are not suitable. Sentences that are often heard in love are also used in movies.
          I'm pretty sure my level of appreciation is limited, but I have to say I don't like this movie.
          The plot I understand is roughly the story of a lawyer in a large law firm defending an unscrupulous businessman who suddenly found out his conscience and was killed, and his friend cleared the fog for him and revealed the truth.
          Then first I was...

      Look at what they make you give.

      In The Bourne Bourne, the last sentence of the agent who was chasing Bourne but was killed by Bourne was - Look at what they make you give.
      Yeah, what did he make you pay for?
      That's what Bourne said to the agent who pointed at him at the end of The Bourne 3 -
      Look at what they make you give.
      Agent, an agent like Bourne is a special case, his job requires him to kill Such as numbness, no emotion, no fixed place, depressed spirit, always vigilant, and finally, if you are not...

      Redbook, Realm + Conquest

      The Red Book, the Realm + Conquest

      movie has an important clue that Michael was able to survive, and he also relied on him - Realm + Conquest - a little red book with an illustration of a dead tree hillside horse.
      Red has always been a metaphor for freedom, justice and selflessness, eternal love, beautiful spirituality, breaking change, and struggle for revolution. . .
      If this book exists, it is definitely worth reading. . .
      He can make Author "insanity" and Michael...

      Let's watch and think, a movie with great practical significance, starting from buying foreign milk powder...

      "Michael Crichton", nominated for seven Oscars at the 80th Academy Awards, and the movie channel often has one or two tidbits. The film deeply criticizes the darkness of society and can't help but say "the evil capitalist society." ", however, this is just a copy of the melamine poisoned milk powder.

      The film is about a chemical pesticide company in the United States. The pesticides produced by the company are carcinogenic to the human body, and most of the victims are children. In...

      The emergence of the three lines of contradiction is a common phenomenon in life. Coupled with the flat and straightforward relationship, the expressiveness of the theme of "opposing" the people in front of them at any time will become weaker. After all, contradictions and opposites are the basis of all scripts and cannot stimulate the sensitivity of the...

    Evaluation action

    "Michael Clayton" actually tells a very simple power-for-money transaction. The plot of the story is still tortuous, but it seems a little cryptic. The American audience praised the film mainly because of George Clooney’s performance. He accurately grasped the role of a legal scavenger, Tom Wilkinson, Sidney Pollack, and Tilda. Swinton has a good performance in the film, and the wonderful performance of the actors makes up for the lack...

    Movie quotes

    • Michael Clayton: I am not the enemy.

      Arthur Edens: Then who are you?

    • Arthur Edens: Michael, I have great affection for you and you live a very rich and interesting life, but you're a bag man not an attorney. If your intention was to have me committed you should have kept me in Wisconsin where the arrest report, the videotape, eyewitness reports of my inappropriate behavior would have had jurisdictional relevance. I have no criminal record in the state of New York, and the single determining criterion for involuntary commitment is danger. Is the defendant a danger to himself or to others. You think you got the horses for that? Well good luck and God bless, but I'll tell you this: the last place you want to see me is in court.

      Michael Clayton: I'm not the enemy.

      Arthur Edens: Then who are you?
