      Lonely comedian

      Tom Hanks is such a great actor. And what is the most common sentence in the commentary of the movie he starred in? ——"Seriously underestimated."

      Words such as "severely underrated", "not surprisingly misunderstood", and "overlooked" appear repeatedly in different low-scoring movies under his name. Tom Hanks has starred in many well-known works, and he also has some less well-known films, with sad ratings and simple appearance. These small round beads are quietly shining under the...

      Dreams and happiness

      Persevere in the dream, even if the dream is humble; adhere to the dream, even if the process of realizing the dream may be difficult or never possible; adhere to the dream, even if the dream may not necessarily bring you wealth and reputation, but please believe that the dream will satisfy your soul.

      Realizing dreams requires hard work, and achieving happiness requires wisdom.

      In the beginning, the heroine in the film had an unsatisfactory life, a hard life, a dream that...

      Remember tonight and smile

      Life is always difficult. Whether it is for a fledgling student or a married woman with family drag, the light of dreams will illuminate everyone who has fun and struggles. When the annual March 26 comes, muse followers like me will always remember a genius who is always 25-Haizi. His early death was related to dreams, and his dreams were too big, making his weak body unbearable. But he is also happy, and sleeping with poetry is also a kind of sublimation and completion. I remember watching...

      Why does the second half become less funny? This plot takes a turn for the worse, like a derailed tram. The ending is really...

    Movie quotes

    • John: $500! What the hell did you buy for 500 dollars?

      Lilah: Jokes.

    • Steven: We are all Gods animated cartoons.

    • Steven Gold: I've been coming down here for 18 months. 18 months! And I have not missed a night. I take the money that my father sends me and I pay for a shrink, and I buy groceries. Now I owe my shrink, and I'm behind in my rent. My roommate's a bastard - he's changed the locks in in my front door - I can't get in! He won't give me a key until I pay him. You wanna play games? I can play games! I can play games. I can play ventriloquist with my underwear. I can play darts while maintaining an erection. I can gargle dishwater and fart O Canada at the same time! I can play piano without being popular. I once had this dream - I was dancing on the streetcorner with a jackhammer up my ass - now that was either a sex dream or I need more fiber in my diet. If any of this is turning you on, just let me know.
