      I can give up my freedom, but I can't be deprived of my right to pursue freedom

      Freedom is my pursuit, and this is my own choice.

      To the male protagonist, I am convinced. As long as I want to accomplish something, I have to do it even if I lose my life. Compared to me, I am more like the little sidekick in the play. , and it retracted after encountering a few obstacles.

      At the end, the people in the train control room threw a question, why all the high technology is used, and there is still no way to stop this high-speed train?
      Perhaps, when a...

      Unfulfilled locomotive dream

      Akira Kurosawa has liked motorcycles since he was a child, and he would go to see motorcycles when he was free. He dreamed of making a locomotive-themed movie.

      In 1964 he came across a report about a true incident of a train running out of control in the United States in 1962. The out-of-control train ran at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour in the wilderness of the Midwest of the United States. The out-of-control time lasted for an hour and forty minutes. There was only one mechanic...

      Winner gets nothing

      I stumbled across this movie on a video site by accident. I watched this movie for Kurosawa Akira's name. A master is a master, and the movie is not only exciting, but also deep. It seems that people have had a glass of good wine and have a long aftertaste.

      This movie can be divided into two parts in total, a small part is about escape from prison, and a large part is about runaway trains. In the prison part, you can see that the protagonist Manny gained the respect of the entire...

      make a "mark"


      Sometime many years ago, when the school was on winter vacation, it was snowing heavily outside and there was nowhere to go, so I had to stay at home and watch a movie to pass the time. For a few days, I have been watching the disc, watching and watching, the machine is running continuously from morning to night, except for three meals a day, I watch the film non-stop. From then on, the next problem was that I felt nauseous when I saw someone coming out of the theater on the street....

      call of the wild

      This is an amazing movie, the director is a Russian, the screenwriter has the name of the Japanese master Akira Kurosawa on it, look at the cast list, a watery American, a team that looks very international, made an emotional film A film that is still very American in style and rhythm. "Runaway Train", a film full of wildness, humanity, and sensibility, under the ice and snow, this film expresses rich film elements, and gives people quite shocking film images and themes.

              The...

      A hoarse roar, a weird crew composition, and crude and violent lines. On the eve of the collapse of the Cold War at the end of the Cold War, the Berlin Wall was crumbling, and Alaska, Canada or Siberia were no different in terms of armaments. The competition between technology and desire drives the human train to...

      A rough and brutal prison break movie, a train with only four sections and out of control assumes the entire narrative background, and the external environment is the snowy weather in northern Canada. The movie does not show too many details of the escape, focusing on the escape. The runaway train and the traffic dispatch center are one layer of narrative relationship, and the warden and the fugitive are another layer, and there is a game between the two. The track and the carriage are a...

      CCTV6. The train is beautiful. It seems to be an old-school or even a classic film now, and the ability of the story to grab people is still stronger than many of today's cool-selling films. Unexpectedly, the screenwriter also has Kurosawa...
