          1988 drama, RENOIRE Repertoire. Go to the
          wrong cinema, thunder to the conductor.
          Fortunately, this is a small town, and the two cinemas are not far apart.
          Of course, the reason why I watched this drama was mainly because of the melancholy and handsome boy on the poster.
          The declining French culture, fortunately, the taste is still there.
          
          It doesn't matter if the background of the story is real or not....

      Beethoven's Revolutionary Elegy

      In the 1980s, Hollywood movies with the theme of family affection emerged suddenly. Beginning with "The Kramers" in 1979, "Mother and Daughter Love", "Ordinary People" and "Rain Man" have reached the top one after another in just a few years. Oscar, and these films without exception convey the core proposition of American middle-class family values, the estrangement between family members can never overcome the ties between them. After the rebellious and resolute wandering attitude of the...

      I love River Phoenix

      Because the film that River went to buy is really good.

          After watching it, you can understand why River was recognized as the rebirth of James Dean, because River's blonde hair was brighter than the sun, and the melancholy in his eyes lingered even when he laughed. What is he thinking? So young, such a good family, such a bright future, such a handsome man, why is he depressed?

          River plays a life of displacement since he was 2 years old with his parents wanted by the...

      The idealist at the family level is sometimes like a dogmatic tyrant, the father role is reminiscent of "Mosquito Coast" and "Captain Fantastic" (of course, "Captain Fantastic" is relatively bad), and Phoenix River and Little Lover are also translated from "Mosquito Coast". Come here, like a sister article. A family of extremists who came from hippies, hid incognito on the back of the charge of bombing the military laboratory, and faced new life choices until their son's music sprouted. Except...

      It's too appetizing, it's great! In the elegant and beautiful melody, from possessiveness to selflessness, it shows the changes in the mentality and thinking of members of a fugitive family from different positions, from possession to selflessness, and the successful interpretation of what is perfect Ruifan has become an important pivot. , watching the unbelievably handsome Rui Fan who was walking on the road of youth with fun music was killed in seconds, and the emotional facial close-up full...

      Who is not chasing their dreams when they are young? The scheduling and performance of the lines in the last scene are amazing. It would be amazing if the whole film had this control. In the big era, the United States has changed from radicalism in the 1970s to conservatism in the 1980s, returning to family and family, one of the many excellent films about...
