      A man who is man enough can understand a woman

      Ruined! I watched cctv6 yesterday and saw it at 1:30. The song "Por Una Cabeza" was spinning in my head all night. The violin sound in the melody flowed soothingly and comfortably. When I came to a car-like 720-degree turn in the air, it was beautiful. It feels like
      a twist... 9 hours later, it's still there! The
      lingering sound is just that, so hurry up and download it and put it in mp3, I don't know if it can relieve the symptoms.

      When I saw the title of the film "Smell...

      Even a person like this is enough for a night.

      Regarding such an impulse
      , after jumping with him on such a tango, how could he be willing to hold other people's hands and dance such a melody again. The
      wind is a bit cool at night, and I am glad that such a slight wind blows When I saw a movie like this when the window swept through the curtains and blew a strand of hair around my ears,
      I felt my little gauze skirt swaying in the wind, and I wanted to turn around and pretend that I was also dancing such a tango, Holding your...

      Hero is late

      Watching this movie, a friend recommended it to me, saying that the protagonist has a deep understanding of women.
       After reading it, what touched me even more was the scene where the lieutenant colonel went to his brother's house for dinner. When my nephew made fun of his past, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
         The former president's high senator was kicked out of the decision-making level because of his bad temper. He had no hope of promotion. He was blind and could only...

      I wish I had seen this movie in middle school so I might have been stronger and braver. That pretentious trial is horrifying, but unfortunately in reality, you haven't even been given a chance to make a statement. Fortunately, now that I have grown up, I can still shed tears in front of that song tango. People need dignity and romance to live, treat a proud forehead with pride, and treat a kind heart with kindness. This is the eternal law of my life, only picking roses bends my...

      Al Pacino's acting is first-rate, especially the tango in the middle and the last speech. People who watch it have a feeling of excitement, but this film has nothing to do with the title at first, and the rhythm is too slow. The plot is not considered twists and turns. In fact, the main line It's not complicated, but I talked slowly for two and a half hours until the last little climax. I went! Personal evaluation: 7.5...

      What does this movie tell us? It is not enough to have an honest heart, but also to have eloquent eloquence, plus a prominent backer, it is best not to worry about failure. Internally, of course, we must be loyal to our inner intuition and not be defeated by the harsh external environment. Externally, we must have language output to mobilize the masses. It is not a messy language, but a language with clear thinking and thought-provoking. Umbra's language expressiveness is much stronger than...

      The dislike of the highly rated but indifferent classics overwhelms the only tango that has a little...

      The characters are so full and angular, so that the title of lieutenant colonel is no longer a label of courage, ingenuity and charm in the history of movies. The most radiant actor in the film, Pacino, is undoubtedly the most radiant actor in the film, but the supporting actor Philip Seymour Hoffman is young, and his gestures are already...

    Making tidbits

    Al Pacino was helped by students from the School for the Blind when preparing for the role of Lieutenant Colonel Sphalan. He also revealed that his way of acting for the blind is to not focus his eyes when looking at anything.
    At the training meeting, the principal said to Lieutenant Colonel Sphalan: "You are out of order!" This is a line from Al Pacino's 1979 film "...And Justice for All".
    Director Martin Brest does not recognize the...

    Evaluation action

    Although the title of the movie is "Scent of a Woman", it is about the friendship between two men. Seeing the old and the young being silent with each other, faintly brewing the friendship into a mellow, it was naturally moved to be embarrassing. Through the process of getting along with the young and old, this moment portrays the images of characters from different eras and different moods, and then analyzes different concepts of...
