      Self/Less--Both Disadvantages And Advantages

      I watched a lot of his movies recently with Ryan. People who have good eyes and eyes are just infatuated with themselves. Don't let me pick on your acting skills. Except that you just lived in a new house at the beginning, there are a few eyes that don't look like old men. Damir will have those eyes, and Mark, after waking up at the end, doesn't have any substantial changes. It makes me think a little bit. Apart from the complaints, the psychological warfare and action scenes are still...

      I also say 2 words


      Actually I just look at the face, the whole movie seems like Ryan Reynolds is where I pay attention.

      Then I really didn't get to the development of the plot of the movie. This movie basically revolves around scientists chasing and killing Damian, except after knowing certain things after changing bodies. I really can't figure it out, why? ! Why hunt him down? You said that if he was afraid of leaking secrets, why didn't he call the police if he decided to do so? Although no one...

      Notre Dame values ​​in the United States - even if you understand the characters, you still can't agree

      After watching the whole movie, I think that in terms of atmosphere rendering, it can still be done.
      In the middle of the journey, I was always worried about the mother and daughter. I was afraid that something would happen to them. In
      particular, I always liked to stand in an open place and chat without any precautions, for
      fear that they would be shot, and then take care of them throughout the whole process.
      At the end, the rich businessman gave up his own life and...

      I give 4 stars except for the plot 0 points

      Forgive me, I really can't understand the logic and point of view of this "blockbuster"... Maybe I lack the fearless freedom fighter spirit of the American people, or the determination to insist on love and truth. In my opinion, this is a film I took a far-fetched movie with an excellent theme, and I don't know what to say.

      The above is only from the plot point of view. Let's talk about a good place first. First of all, the music of the movie is a must. Although the whole movie did...

      what is it for

      When I first saw the title, I thought of a high-level sci-fi film, and it turned into an ethical film when I watched it. . . Since you feel that it is immoral and wrong to take possession of someone's body, why not just stop taking medicine and give your body back to someone else? The inevitable trend of scientific development, what can you stop? From the very beginning, it is a fair deal, everyone gets what they need. Since they agree to this deal, they must accept what they get and what they...

      The plot is so buggy! After talking about a new body of sterile cultivation, it turned out to be a dead body, and I had to take medicine all the time, or my previous memories would come back hahahaha. It's so funny it's hard to justify...

      I'm afraid the director and screenwriter's understanding of "immortality" is too different from our concept. The soul or memory is stored in the body of others to continue life. Normally, the previous career must be continued. Otherwise, what's the point of starting with a new identity? The setting of this film should be changed to forged memory after amnesia, and finally awakened and retrieved memory through love, the effect will be much...

    Positive review

    One of the highlights of "Self" is undoubtedly that Ben Kingsley, the veteran Oscar actor, instantly switched to Ryan Rodney Reynolds, the high-profile Hollywood star, and the two male gods created an immortal mode   . Ryan Rodney Reynolds will also stage a split personality drama of "I am not me, who am I". The performance is like opening and hanging, and the appearance and acting skills are appreciated   .
