      After Nora leaves

      This is an old movie that I have seen many years ago. At that time, I was very obsessed with Julia Roberts. It was basically a hard-core shredded carrot (a fan of Julia Roberts). This movie is not in the works of Big Mouth Zhu It’s good, but it has an advantage that other works can’t compare, that is, the film dedicated to one of the most beautiful Julia Roberts.

          Nora is the protagonist of the play "House of Dolls". "House of Dolls" is a famous work by Norwegian dramatist Ibsen....

      First meeting with Roberts

      I really admire my eyesight. There are many celebrities that I became obsessed with before they became popular. In Europe and America, Julia Roberts is one.
           I saw this movie a long time ago. At that time, Roberts was still like an immature little green apricot, covered with a thin layer of fluff~~~ But it is this characteristic that is very suitable for the role in the movie.
          Another reason I like this movie is that I just discovered it recently. In my own bones, I seem to...

      Fake death escape

      Because I watched Julia’s uncompromising, I thought it was great, and after watching this movie, I didn’t disappoint. She seems younger and more beautiful in this drama, but what shocked me was this story, a story about domestic violence. At the beginning, seeing the lover's close relationship, we can see that the hostess is a little cautious, speaking and doing things cautiously, but I didn't expect his husband to be so overcast and violent and tyrannical. Seeing her smashed...

      Sleeping with the enemy: there are more solutions than problems

      The boat of friendship turned over when it was overturned, not because of hate, but because of love.

      The direction you love is "North by Northwest"

      The direction of her love is "No Questions"

      The boat is small, it really can't do the best of both worlds.

      Unless the ship is big, it is still the speed of light.

      Northwest first, then things,

      or,

      courage

      Courage is the driving force to move forward. No matter how dark and miserable life we ​​are, we should never lose the courage to live. The heroine Julia Roberts is an actor I like very much. She played this role, coupled with the environment and music, creating a depressive and terrifying atmosphere at the beginning of the film. She likes this part of ushering in the dawn in the bus most, and the rising sun is not a new life won by the heroine. May every woman in the dark have such courage...

    In the American horror movies, there are many psychiatric disorders and mental illnesses as the themes. At first glance, this movie also has this feeling. But then, the development of the story is unexpected. It seems that besides the horror, it also explores the problems of life's no choice, how to treat the mentally ill, and whether self-defense is equivalent to murder. We Chinese have an old saying: "Marry a chicken with a chicken,...

    • Ben Woodward: One thing we can't forget is Treplev hasn't seen Nina in two years, so when he gets her in the room, he wants her to stay. Know what I mean? Nina, I cursed you. I hated you. I tore up all your letters and photographs, but every minute I was conscious that my soul was bound to yours forever. I can never stop loving you. Ever since I lost you, my life has been unbearable. I'm miserable. I call to you, I kiss the ground you walked on. Wherever I look, I see your face. I am alone. I've no one's affection to warm me. I am as cold as if I were living in a dungeon, and no matter what I write, it's dry, hard, dark. Stay here, Nina, I implore you, or let me go with you. You ever loved someone that much?
