      Lonely man ready to go

      Aside from the suspense and reversal part, what moved me even more was the old man who fell in love. A person who has been lonely and proud all his life, was defeated by a clumsy love. From the delicate and noble cleanliness at the beginning to the time when I peeked and was found to have stumbled and escaped, when I took my trembling hands out of my gloves to wipe the sweat, I suddenly felt very sad when my old state must appear. In his long life, he spent many unspeakable lonely nights when...

      The ending has been arranged in the plot, you can't just watch the superficial story

      The theme of this film is by no means as simple as the protagonist being deceived because of love. The film depends on the soul connotation hidden under the surface of the story (it is recommended to watch it a second time to understand). The film tells the story of a senior auctioneer who is about to enter old age, has a closed heart, and has a hobby of collecting portraits of women, and finally realizes the process of soul transformation and redemption because of true love. The point is not...

      Elaborately Forged Love Artwork

      - "What's it like to live with a woman?"
              - "It's like going to an auction. You never know if your offer is the best."

              "There will also be some real things on the fake ones, copying them. When someone else paints, the forger can't resist the temptation to add his own, and the forger will eventually betray himself and reveal his artistic sensitivity."

      Master Ma was deceived

      Hello friends, I am Ma Jier, the head of the Hunyuan Xingyi auction house. Just now, a friend asked me what happened to Mr. Ma. I said what happened, and sent me a few screenshots, let me take a look! Ow! It turned out to be yesterday. There were two young people in their thirties. One was named Tingting, who was mysterious and did not show up. The voice was very nice. The other was named handsome guy, who could fix everything.

      They said, alas... The woman said that I want to sell the...

      "Are you on your own, sir?" "no, I am waiting for someone"

      Geoffrey sat in the infinitely related gears, with the sound of the gears clinching, like a child sitting in a time machine, waiting for the lover who will never come back. Lonely, lonely, and distressing.

      Not everyone can withstand the collapse of love and friendship, let alone a 70-year-old who has just bravely taken the first step in his life. Not everyone can do not hate, just wait and have a good heart. Not everyone can keep their promises after accepting betrayal. "Something I...

      Everything could be a fake, just like Donald Sutherland's line in the film, a bit of a Hitchcock-esque suspense thriller, but it's handled blandly, because Tonatore treats it like a normal drama. . It's like a mentally designed scam. There are no dangers, and there is no step-by-step reversal. In the end, the result is not understood, and a great genre film story is wasted....

      If Rush is not interested in this room or widgets or happens to have a few more conversations with the woman by the window... Of course, if these are not true, it is because Rush's background cannot be uninteresting and therefore not interested in widgets. It's impossible not to be interested, and the woman by the window can only catch up with him when he turns his eyes from staring at the opposite door to his tea. In a sense, this is an irony of the highly specialized reality without...

      6/10. Tonadore is still too ingenious. Although he tells an intriguing story ingeniously, the rhythm of the whole film is as slow and maddening as boiled water, and the credibility of the scam itself is not high. It has long been impossible to deceive modern audiences. Such films are often tasteless and a pity to abandon. PS: It’s too unkind to try to cover up the overall drag and boredom with only the connotation of the last 20 minutes,...

    Although not dizzying, the director still mixes a lot of quasi-Gothic charm, Baroque avant-garde, and all kinds of weird fringe ideas in the film, and even creates a dwarf with a genius mathematical mind; despite the movie watching process The audience has prayed countless times for flashing fragments and moments of irony, but in this almost dull fairy tale about a mysterious woman, the only highlight is the delicate acting skills of...

    Movie quotes

    • Robert: Why did you never marry, never have kids?

      Virgil Oldman: The regard I have for women is equal to the fear I've always had of them. And to my failure to understand them.

    • Claire: In an old article of yours I found on the internet, you said: There's something authentic in every forgery. What did you mean?

      Virgil Oldman: When simulating another's work the forger can't resist the temptation to put in something of himself. Often it's just a trifle, a detail of no interest. One unsuspected stroke, by which the forger inevitably ends up betraying himself, and revealing his own utterly authentic sensibilities.

    • Claire: I'm not in the habit of speaking to people very much.

      Virgil Oldman: Believe me, that's considerable stroke of good fortune. Talking to people is extremely perilous. However, it was you who made the call, so you're running the risk.
