      Okay

      Xiao Li was still fat back then, and his face is not as long as it is now (basically, I think his long face has a lot of credit for the movie camera, although he has a long face in the first place), he is cuter than now, look at it now and then look at that time, almost recognize him. Don't come out of him.

      The reason why this movie is okay is that the American blockbuster~, there are a lot of thrills. The good thing is that it is quite catchy, but you have to watch it, don't watch it...

      This is an obvious commercial blockbuster

      Because the teacher asked if it was a literary or commercial film, I watched it more carefully. From the beginning of saving the people in the elevator to the early stages of saving the people in the bus, the traces of commercial films are really more obvious than ink, such as the very grand buildings or landscapes, irrational but very eye-catching special effects, cynical and fearless 's lines.
            Therefore, it is rather boring to watch in the early stage, and it is easy to think that...

      A good movie with a simple plot

      Because of this film, I fell in love with the actor Keanu Reeves. When I first watched it, I vaguely felt that he looked like a Chinese with a beautiful face, but only later did I realize that he really has one-Nth of Chinese blood. Keanu Reeves was really handsome when he was young, and the small flat head and the blue SWAT battle suit are really handsome! Xiaoji's body is also tough, and the savior in "The Matrix" is the opposite and looks a little weak.

      Among them, Sandra Bullock...

      representative genre films

      Recently, Keanu Reeves has been super obsessed with Keanu Reeves, so he turned out this famous work: a police and gangster film of fighting wits and courage. The old beauty made such a classic work in 1994, so how can the film people in the country of porcelain today feel so bad?

      What are the wonderful details of "Life and Death"?

      According to the principle of a drop of blood in the United States, Keanu and Levi’s are not considered white, haha, like us, are standard people of color. A person of color defeated a pure white man, which was probably considered a more avant-garde concept at the time.

      In the last paragraph, the bomb blows up a large plane, and the hero saves the United States and returns safely. In the eyes of some people, this is not a victory. Instead of protecting national property, he chose his...

      Sure enough, it's a classic action movie. The plot is so tense, there are constant conflicts and twists and turns. After several last-minute rescues, after saving everyone and saving the beauty, once it is not enough, it has to be rescued twice. The part where the hero and heroine slipped out of the bus with the arms was really shocking. Keanu Reeves is really handsome, but he has no acting...

      The first time I saw this type of film, I thought it was very good-looking, and it was constantly climaxing. There are many bugs in 20190704, the biggest one is not to directly pay 3 million ransom, and finally blow up a plane. Poor people are crazy, I'm...

    Movie quotes

    • Howard Payne: You think I wouldn't have been prepared? Two years I spent setting up that elevator job, two years I invested in it. You couldn't understand the kind of commitment that I have. You ruined a man's life's work and you think you can walk away? You got blinders on to the world! But I got your attention now, didn't I Jack?

      Jack: [distressed] Why didn't you just come after me?

      Howard Payne: No this is about ME! This is about my money, this is about money DUE ME! Which I WILL collect! 3.7 Million dollars! It's my nest egg, Jack, at my age you have to think ahead.

      Jack: [angry] When I find you...

      Howard Payne: [cuts him off] Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?

      Jack: I'd want to know what bus it was...

      Howard Payne: You think I'm going to tell you that?

      Jack: Yes.

      Howard Payne: Aha, very good. There are rules, Jack, and I want you to get this right. NO ONE goes off the bus. If you try to take any passengers off the bus, I will detonate it. I want my money by 11AM.

      Jack: We can't pull that kind of money in time!

      Howard Payne: [shouting] FOCUS, JACK! Your concern is the bus. And don't try to call. The radio's down. Now, the number of the bus is 2525, it's running downtown from Venice. It's at the corner of Ocean Park & Main.

      [Jack takes off for his car as sirens from approaching fire engines can be heard]

    • Howard Payne: This day has been rather disappointing, I don't mind saying.

      Jack: Why, because you didn't get to kill everyone?

      Howard Payne: There's gonna come a time, boy, when you will wish you never met me.

      Jack: Mister, I'm already there!

    • Harry: [drunk] Well, I'm gonna go home, have some sex.

      Jack: Harry, you're gonna go home and puke.

      Harry: Well that'll be fun too.
