      Signs, coincidences

      Our foreign teacher showed us this movie without subtitles. To understand the plot and dialogue, almost no one could understand...
      But after the foreign teacher explained to us some, I think there are real signs in life~
      Of course, I haven’t watched the subtitled version, and some small plot discoveries surprised me~ At

      first the alien squirted at the boy’s nose. Later, after ET was killed, my father moved his son outside and talked about his beliefs. If that happens, the...

      Great video, ignore the rating!

      I think someone who says that this movie is bad doesn’t need to watch a movie in the future. This movie is originally a literary and artistic film under the banner of a science fiction movie. It is absolutely impossible to appreciate the connotation and subtlety of the film. To a certain extent, it can be said that this film can be classified as a thriller or a suspense film. In my opinion, if you go deep into the film, the moment the aliens appear will definitely not Take a cold meditation...

      Too preaching

      Don't tell me that this is a science fiction movie, I refuse.
      After watching the whole movie, there is only one alien, and it is a giant SB alien: if you want to kidnap a child, you will not be able to beat an earthling! There are no weapons of mass destruction, only the poison gas of the body itself.
      ——Some people would say, should aliens have to be better than earthlings? I don’t think so, but the film begins to repeat that these aliens can create crop circles and come to the earth...

      Different mentalities in the crop circle

      Excerpt from two conversations that I think are good.

      I told you that
      some of you might think
      that this is the end of the world. Is that
      right
      ? Is it
      possible that
      how can you say that?
      What you want to hear is not this?
      Can you just be like before ?
      Give me some comfort?
      People can be roughly divided into two categories.
      When they are lucky, the
      first category thinks it is not only luck,
      not just opportunity.
      They...

      Tian Zhao Signs: Suspense? This is a comedy!

      When I wanted to write a film review, I searched for a long time, but I didn't find the category of comedy in the genre, haha.

      This is actually a family comedy, warm and thoughtful, through the theme to show the joy of a harmonious family.

      What is comedy? It’s comedy that makes you laugh. It’s clumsy, but this one is clever.
      The theme describes the story in that event, in that perspective, and expresses what is said above.
        Very novel and very powerful....

      A sci-fi thriller with a different approach, the aliens are just a cover, and they are more about the issue of belief. But even with Mel Gibson and the adorable Abigail Breslin, it still makes me...

      The atmosphere of the film is relatively depressing from the very beginning, and more interpretation of inner activities. There are not many lines. It's just a pity that I don't know why the aliens...

      The theme of the film is not the conflict between human beings and aliens, but the protagonist's reflection on the principle of being a human being, and thus asks the same question: what kind of person do you want to be? There is a group of people who believe that there is a reason for everything in the world and that human beings are not isolated, these are people with faith; another group of people believes that our lives are full of anomalies and coincidences, and no one can control our...

      It sucks, all kinds of long takes trying to extend the movie time, but the effect is poor, and it's boring. Not only did it ruin the suspenseful atmosphere, but it also ruined the movie. (Aliens are like soy sauce characters in this...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Mark Ruflow was the first person to play Merrill, who had to withdraw from filming because of a brain tumor.
    M. Knight Samalan insisted that the film poster should not have the face of Mel Gibson, because he believed that the film was a collective work, completely different from "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural".
    Graeme Hayes was an older character at first, but Paul Newman and Clint Eastwood both refused to appear in the....

    "Obscene" is a genre of sci-fi and horror films. In this film, Shamaran grasps people's curiosity and attention, creating a mysterious and strange atmosphere, which is exciting. In this atmosphere of fear, he has incorporated the warmth of family love and religious beliefs, and even made some relaxed and humorous episodes from time to time, making the film highly appreciative and full of tension (Liu Jingping)  .

    Movie quotes

    • Bo: Are you in my dream too?

    • Graham Hess: Caroline. I don't want you calling me 'Father' anymore.

      Officer Caroline: What's wrong?

      Graham Hess: I don't hear my children.

    • Merrill: One time, I was at this party... and I was sitting on the couch with Amanda McKinney. She was just sitting there, looking beautiful. So, I lean in to kiss her, and I realize I have gum in my mouth. So, I turn to spit it out and put it in a paper cup. I turn back, and Amanda McKinney throws up all over herself. I knew the moment it happened, it was a miracle. I could have been kissing her when she threw up. It would have scarred me for life. I may never have recovered.
