      "Shallow Grave"-a person who takes darkness as light and light as darkness

      A good friend once said to me that one person will not have absolute trust in another person. This is human nature. Before our humanity is stripped away, we can only live on the earth with ourselves and friends like this. As long as this kind of situation does not occur, perhaps we will be at peace with each other, sipping wine in the old sunset. , I am very happy to talk about life, whether it is good or bad, there is no need to feel sad between eyes.

      The movie begins in a pale face,...

(Comment by The Beijing News) The  film uses fashionable photography to show that the three people sharing an apartment are totally unrecognizable and the resulting suspicious state. The film ended in some kind of accident, but it was not pleasant. In fact, there is not a single character in this movie that the audience really...
