      You love to laugh so much, the rest of your life will be very good!

      I've been really lazy lately, and the movies I've been watching can't arouse the desire to write.

      I just watched John Schlesinger's "Midnight Cowboy" yesterday, and I think this movie is quite recommended to watch, except for my favorite actor Dustin Hoffman, and the performance of this movie Editing of dreams and hallucinations.

      By the way, I watched David Lynch's...

      "I'm walking here!" - Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the film "Midnight Cowboy"

      The film world is colorful and voluminous, and has produced countless beautiful scenes for more than a hundred years, which are unforgettable and breathtaking. But in my movie viewing experience, there is no movie that moved me as much as the American movie "Midnight Cowboy", which kept flashing in front of my eyes a western cowboy with a simple and kind temperament and a handsome and handsome appearance. The scene of walking on the road with a poor man with a crouched body...

      Jon's teary eyes, that bizarre era, that world, those fiery or lowly American Dreams, it's just that this story has nothing to do with this world. Shanghai is not important, Beijing is not important. Zhang Ailing wrote to Hu Lancheng: Because she understands, she is...

      It's too depressing and tragic. The mountain village's silly white sweet Jon Voight and the urban village chick Dustin Hoffman are inexplicably matched. Jon's eyes are so innocent and pitiful that Dustin is so miserable. The United States of the 1990s has declined to the point where editing and photography are very...
