      Talk about the leading actor

      Two days ago, I just watched the movie "Best Enemy". I have nothing to do, talk about my thoughts. Let me talk about my identity background first. I am an unemployed nerd in a third-tier city in Northeast China. This movie is very exciting, but it must be a person who understands American society and culture well to taste it. I am unemployed, I have a lot of free time, and read a lot of books about the United States. I have a certain understanding of American social life. Some people...

      It's great story. The ending is so touching.

      I love watching movies based on real stories more and more. In the real world, I can connect, "Connect to", especially historical events, to see how human civilization has developed step by step to today.

      Race integration is an example. Even today in the United States, everyone is still calling for Black lives matter. White supremacy seems to still prevail, even more so after Donald Trump came to power. Who knows if this hadn't happened in Durham in 1971, would it be worse...

      Stories like this are rare and should be celebrated. But look at what the current U.S. president said, letting the non-white female presidential candidates leave the U.S., the brothers of the KKK are all happy and supportive. Biden's presidential election was also attacked by black female candidates of the same party because of his attitude towards the merger of school bus...

      There was a long hesitation between Samsung and Four Stars. The actors are really good, no need to say. . But the story is a bit emmmmm...is there a way of deliberately creating a low mood and ignoring the communication between the characters? I thought that there could be any major drama conflict at the lunch dinner with such a good setting according to the seating chart, but there was no such thing, so I skipped it. . . It's past. . . . go. . . ah. . . what. . . Weak in an instant. I believe...

      It was supposed to be a biographical film with a strong cultural and historical concentration, but it was ruined by the lack of depth and tension in the script and Hollywood type production. It seemed superficial, straightforward, mentally retarded, and unconvincing. It's 3 "Green Book" distances away from "Classic Car". This topic should be handed over to Uncle Dongmu in the future. It's a waste of...

    Evaluation action

    "The Best of Enemies" has a running time of two hours and 13 minutes. The film takes the soul of CP Ellis played by Sam Rockwell into the smallest detail. In the summit debate scene, the director pointed all the cameras at Taraji P. Henson and used various surround shooting techniques to show a very good dramatic effect   . (Shadow And Act review)
    The story of the film can remind the audience of any "opposing" parties, and is trying to...
