      Self-inflicted sins cannot live, people have to be responsible for their own actions.

      The gentleman believes in the etiquette, the villain is afraid of the etiquette, and the beast ignores the etiquette. The bad news is that the beast will always have it. So for your personal safety, don't be rude, and don't foolishly think that everyone is a gentleman.

      A gentleman does not stand under a wall of danger. Protect yourself, you have to know.

      Otherwise, she can only be like her, breaking her teeth and swallowing in her...

      The debut of "Adolescent Philosopher"

      1. "Sixteen Candles" is John Hughes’s debut. The film’s keen grasp of the girl’s mentality, the accurate restoration of the language of high school students, and Huster’s sense of humor and perfect use of music have made the film gain The double success of word of mouth and box office.

      2. "Sixteen Candles" also contributed the typical images of John Hughes appearing in subsequent works-a delicate and innocent girl (or little princess), a lonely nerd who...

      The youth films of John Hughes have become the template for too many similar films in the future, but even in imitation, the later films are still only in shape without God. This aspect has something to do with the lines and the rhythm of the film, but it also has a certain relationship with the actors. Relationship, the group of youth idols in the 1980s had a unique temperament that later young actors did not have. . . The scene where the heroine and her father say that she is in love with a...

      Silly but innocent, weird but charming, sweet and sensitive. John Hughes' debut, though naive, is full of style. Above the chaotic youth hormones, it is delicate and sensitive; beyond the exaggerated comedy, it is pure and natural. Far beyond the reach of the average American youth film. This film is still far inferior to "The Breakfast Club", in which the image of the Chinese boy is quite stereotyped and ugly, but at the end, it still makes people feel as if they have returned to their...

    • Samantha: I meant that it's OK that you did it once; but, I didn't mean for you to do it again!

    • The Geek: Would it be totally off the wall if I asked if I could have sex with you?

      Samantha: You asking me is not as off the wall as to why I won't.
