      More than just love and rants

      British people's complaints about politics are very funny, and they are more restrained about the helplessness of the bureaucracy. Almost every sentence of the press spokesman is a stalk. In some scenes, the traces are still a little heavier.
      The good thing is that most of the plot doesn't go against common sense. The fishermen objected to taking 10,000 salmon, so they had to think of other ways. The flash-like plot turns are abrupt and too old-fashioned. There are two main plots that...

      A movie about miracles, but I always feel that something is wrong. . .

      The movies recommended by S must be watched well, but I didn't expect it to be so innocent this time. .

      Beautiful female lead, lovely male lead, and beautiful male second. A somewhat whimsical but delightful project.

      What really makes me feel that the miracle comes is the moment when the hero returns and the heroine embraces warmly. I still remember the heroine crying and saying "I haven't had time to get to know him yet". I think, in our life, there are also many people who...

      romantic movie talent

      The shooting environment ranges from the United Kingdom to Yemen. There are many exterior scenes in Yemen, and the reservoir is the main venue for the second half. Just watched Emily's "Planning Destiny" yesterday, and she's even more beautiful today. The Prince of Yemen said: Islam and Christianity should live in peace and coexist in harmony. The Prime Minister lies. The weak doctor fell in love with the charming female civil servant, and boldly fought back against his rival at the critical...

      To faith and fish.

      Adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same name. Nominated for a Golden Globe.
      While the original focuses on political satire, the film looks at personal choices. But whether it is irony or small freshness, the important thing is that the Swedish director Lasse Hallstrom has done a good balance, making people feel the warmth of healing while laughing.
      There are two clues in the film: the grand plan of the chief tycoon to build a dam to catch salmon in Yemen, and the long-lasting...

      I just like the clichéd HE, you bite me~

      When this film came out, I didn't watch it in time. Later, the hard disk was scrapped and it was nothing to do. I just remembered the film that made up the EB recently. . . I really like it after reading it, it's so beautiful and so healing, EB is the rhythm of crying every minute, whether it's OL style or "migrant worker" style, every set looks good, especially the linen white shirt + overalls. He's more handsome than Uncle Ewan, and he laughed when he spoke Chinese, but I really didn't...

      I think it's a good story, light comedy style, rich in dramatic elements, very interesting, once very exciting, although the ending is a little bloody, but because I believe it, so I don't remember...
