      travel with a group

      There are no cool stunts, no grand scenes, no popular stars, or even special greatness or depth, but it brings people comfort and a lot of thinking, just like this kind of film. Up to now, I still envy the tour guide, after all, there is bitterness and sweetness. I definitely don't like to be with the group, it's too restrictive. After watching this film, I hope that I can meet such harmony when I join the group.

      The Western world envy the Greek model of life?

      Judging from the recent emergency crisis, Greece's laziness has serious consequences, but the film seems to be praising this attitude towards life... But you have to pay it back sooner or later. When you need to work hard, the country that chooses to dance is really Nothing to envy.
      Regarding academic tour guides being despised during travel, I suddenly remembered that in the country of dung beetles, only big shit can be sold... Could it be that history and culture can be completely...

      The so-called survival is just because you are persistent

      Although Greece is not very beautiful, the whole film is very lifelike. I think the director deliberately did not magnify the beauty of Greece because he wanted to emphasize the original appearance of life.

      The heroine is not particularly beautiful, but has a charming smile.

      Although basically the plot is going in the way that the audience likes, it is not too much. Still very kind.

      She didn't give up on life, even though it was a mess to begin with.
      She...

      Wind coffee daisies dancing across the colonnade

      Greece has a history of 2,500 years.

      She is the birthplace of democracy and philosophy.

      Then, the birthplace is actually "siesta".

      This country has no rules and no order

      . Please move on and stop dancing! ! !

      The heroine is on the verge of collapse.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      I am not far from the collapse! I want to see the pain of others, that's all.

      I think I was confused by the title of the film. This state only...

      "On the verge of" collapse, to be reborn

      The reason for watching this movie is because of its title "Life on the Brink", I once felt that I was on the verge of collapse, and the world around me was complaining about being buried

      in high school. , You can also set Unfree in Free. So far I am deeply impressed.

      In Shangri-La Tourism, I heard the tour guide explain the murals at the entrance of Donglin Temple and said: All the sins of people stem from ignorance. After I came back, I specifically searched for what...

      1. The passage translated by the tour guide perfectly interprets the translator's manipulation. 2. There is a scene of ruins in Greece, and the pillars are really a symbol of the big phallus. 3. Playing stereotype is still a bit...

    "My Life in Ruins" is a film related to Greece. Don't be misled by the title. The state of chaos and disorder occupies only a small space in the film. Most of the time, the audience is not only enjoying the beauty of Greece. In addition, you can also feel the deep warmth, all the despair and sadness are replaced by beauty and happiness, and you can feel the confidence and courage that have been lost for a long time. The simple and...
