      Even though Mike is not my child, I still miss him.

      There are a thousand "Hamlet" in the eyes of a thousand viewers; in one's life, one will see many "Dream of Red Mansions". Different moods, different ages, different experiences, will have different feelings.
      For every movie, there is always someone who likes it. The key is whether it hits the softest part of your heart.
      When I reread this film inadvertently again in the year of no confusion, my mood will be so unimaginably different.
      Violence and tenderness? Indifference and...

      Destructive Creation (2006-07-31)

      Yesterday I listened to a lecture given by the famous economist Hu Angang. The title contained a word called "creative destruction". Today I watched a relatively famous movie "Road to Destruction", which made me feel that a man's life is really a destructive creation the process of.

      To say that an actor is a great actor is not to say how great his personality is, but to say that acting must be an art in his eyes, and he is confident that he can grasp something that we don't quite...

      The use of contrast and foreshadowing in Road to Destruction is exquisite

      The beginning of the film, one minute and thirty-eight seconds, is also when the first shot appears. Little Mike is standing on the shore with his back to the camera and facing the sea. The white waves in the sea are shining, the environment is bright and fresh, and the music is a touch of gloom and sadness. The young boy and the young voice told the story in a memory and desolate tone. All this creates a contrast. This confirms the saying that the environment is born from the heart, the mood...

      Gangster movies without ***police***

      The road to destruction is that there is no police at all, and the gangster film where the judicial intervention is involved
      has a term called "underworld" in China and "underground society" in the West
      . Obviously, the grievances and hatreds in the underworld are
      the interests and emotions of individuals who are not controlled by the agreed law. The driving factors of all activities (murder, fire prevention, abduction...) are
      in the whole story without police yelling, using...

      It's a boy's dream to travel around the world with my father. The rhythm is a little slow at the beginning, and then there is a calm explosion. The music control is very good. The best photography deserves its...

    Filming Highlights

    Before filming the scene of Sullivan and his son driving into the destination, the local highway department used to paint the country's gravel pavement to prevent dust, but it was self-defeating. In order to show the real countryside effect, some crew members had to squat at the back of the classic car to artificially create dust during the official shooting.
    Director Sam Mendes came to Rooney's bodyguard in the crossfire scene in the...

    Evaluation action

    The reality and fiction of the film are handled very properly. Most of the shots are pushed out of the screen, some are reflected in a mirror, and only a small part is described in the front. Sam Mendes's work is indispensable for the visual "colorful movement", but the film is very stingy, and only a little "big picture" is shown at the end of the film. Although the film is slightly thin in plot and characterization, it has the...
