      A view on life aimed at picking up girls

      Statement, two stars for the scenery.

      Ever since Matt Damon stopped showing his hand-to-hand combat, I've become less inclined to see him. After watching the new film "The Promised Land", which he wrote and starred in, I felt that the former agent Byrne had become a soup treasure. Three bowls of water were boiled and two ingredients were added, and Damon was put in and stirred. , a bowl of pretending Hollywood chicken soup for the soul is out of the pot.

      In "The Promised...

      【Promised Land】 #Original. The most spoiler movie review, haha! Continue to work overtime after writing.

      #Original. The most spoiler movie review, haha! Continue to work overtime after writing.
      #This is a film with no violence, no porn, no drugs, no guns, but the contradictions of the plot clues are just as nerve-wracking.
      #The modern large-scale industry represented by shale natural gas has swallowed up the backward production and lifestyle represented by farming and animal husbandry villages. The development status quo of modern society at...

      where are we going

      As a fan of American TV dramas, I like the vast scenery of the farm, which reminds me of my childhood hometown that I can't go back to. For people who have lived on the land for generations, it is a dilemma whether to make quick money or live for a long time. In the movie, Americans are very wise. Because of their knowledge and belief in the land, people choose the latter. Relatively speaking, in the real version of China, now that everyone wants to get rich quickly, we all actively or...

      The unbearable lightness of life


      Two o'clock is a line, and a number of points is one side. The director can shoot the movie at least beyond the climax of three o'clock, and the audience can probably forget about themselves.
      Watching this movie requires a little patience. Because you always find yourself alive. The attraction is that the scenery is very beautiful, and it is also a good choice to be in it.

      In order to obtain the development rights of a township, an international natural gas company with a...

      Truth and interest, what do you want?

      Because of Apple's computer, the subtitle format copied from friends is not supported, and then I am lazy, so I can't read it without subtitles. Fortunately, there are no particularly difficult words to understand and the pronunciation is relatively accurate, so I read it smoothly all the way.
      I saw the beautiful countryside of American village, with large green grass, where people live quietly and comfortably. But I also saw the naked money transactions of Americans, people directly bribe...

      In the end, it is not a matter of a few sales to decide whether to vote or not. . . Silent, even if you don't vote for natural gas, you won't dig any more. . . I'm afraid the statement that Matt Damon used to fool people is the correct solution until the town goes bankrupt and digs gas but doesn't pay. ....

      The first hour was really good, and it made me mistakenly think that Hollywood, occupied by leftists, finally produced a different rightist movie. And then there's the disappointing clichéd left ending. Originally four stars, deduct one star. Still, the story is heartwarming. Gus Van Sant is getting less and less...

    Movie plot

    As a large enterprise sales staff, Steve Butler ( Matt Damon ornaments almost a real-life example of the American dream), he had just come out of a boy from the farm, turned into a commercial metropolis The first-class player of the system, when he arrived in a small town, he suddenly found that he was embarking on an unexpected journey that was undoubtedly not planned. He experienced a series of amazing ups and downs, which made...

    Negative evaluation

    The film’s overly realistic American life in a small town, delicate character emotions, and constantly popping out of American cool humor, I have to admit that these are actually advantages. If the director changes to another one may make people think it’s not bad, but even so, it can’t be changed. The overall mediocre result of this movie. Although the story of ordinary people is told in the shell of environmental protection...
