      meaningless life

      I love this movie.

      At the beginning, he said, "How cheap is this little girl", and the dog said, "Because she is the only one who has to live", okay. Then I found that the male protagonist was also cheap, "to the point of being cheap."

      A very clever way of cheating money, and the little girl is still kind. She liked...

      Record beautiful photos—Paper Moon

      In 1969, the success of "Easy Rider" swept Hollywood like a storm. Major production companies have invited many consultants to study this phenomenon and countermeasures.

      In the process of surveying the audience, it was found that 48% of the audience during this period were young people aged 16-24. They liked films that showed their lives in this way.

      As a result of the investigation, Hollywood eliminated a whole generation of...

      "Paper Moon" is related to the character and plot design

      I just watched the movie, and I'm still braving to watch the movie summary. Mainly to analyze the character design and plot button design. There are a lot of spoilers, enter with caution.

      The two protagonists play against each other, the clever little girl Eddie and the abducted Bible salesman Moss. This kind of persona is very interesting and classic. Using strong contrast, personality, age, and gender, a seemingly unreliable adult can assume the role of a...

      "Paper Moon" 8.5

      "A Clockwork Orange", "Flying over the Cuckoo's Asylum", "Taxi Driver", "Hot Day Afternoon", "Chinatown", they seemed to be very angry throughout the 70s.

      At the same time, Peter Bogdanovic relishes his black-and-white road movie or neuro comedy.

      Those masterpieces handed down are of course important, but it is rare to have a "Paper Moon" in the 1970s when it was overwhelmingly tender.

      During the Great Depression, there was a pair of fake father-daughter...

      "Paper Moon" is a "narrative poetic" travel film, in which Peter Bogdanovich carefully arranges various supporting characters with the theme of human sympathy and friendship, and at the same time deliberately sets the background of the story. Arranged in a small town in the Midwest of the United States in the 1930s, and let the protagonist travel thousands of miles through various hardships, it truly and delicately describes the real life and the characters of the characters. The description...

      Recently, I have watched several movies with children as the protagonists. This movie is very strange. The precocious orphans do everything possible to please the peddler who sells the Bible in pursuit of family affection. Most of the plots unfold on the road. The child left the photo of sitting on the paper moon to the man who was about to abandon him, which was especially touching. PS: After watching the cast list at the end of the film, I found that the father and daughter in the movie are...

      The first of the three major loli movies in the United States, tied with "Lolita" and "Leon", but it feels more like Brazil's "Central Station", but it is faced with the ultimate problem "whether to leave the child with you?" Different choices lead to different meanings of consummation. Compared with the Virgin's motive of "White Rabbit Candy", this film is more natural and very authentic. The reason for sending the little girl Eddie home is purely because she wants to make a fortune + drop by...
