      The Bodyguard--The Ultimate Romantic Cliché

      The charm of American classic love movies in the 1990s was always irresistible. It is impossible to know whether a song makes a movie or a movie makes a song. They must complement each other and achieve each other.

      Based on the experience of the audience now, all the plot suspense can be guessed closely. Even so, the devoted audience can still be...

      humble opinion

      I have watched this film more than 20 times. My father in the fourth grade of elementary school bought the plate and watched it with my parents. In the living room at home, I was concentrating on it. I felt that the male protagonist was an out-and-out handsome guy, capable and unconcealed. The connotation is revealed between the words and the demeanor, the simple and independent understanding of each line, the irresistible imitation and worship, hoping that I can become a person like Frank....

      Is this movie a classic?

      I really don't know where this classic is. There is no fierce gunfight, no flying cars, no deep and specific description of the quality of the protagonist's bodyguards, and no portrayal of the villain and enemy. It is a life drama from beginning to end. It was very depressing to watch, and I couldn't see where the protagonist's ability was strong, where the power was, and the last point was too powerful. He ran up to block a shot, and the killer was still standing there waiting for the...

      I love you but I have to travel far

      I love you, but I have to travel far I have
         wanted to watch "The Bodyguard" for a long time, but for some reason, I haven't had time to enjoy this classic film.
         Just listening to this song, you will be impressed by Whitney Houston's beautiful high-pitched voice, but if you watch this movie, you will understand the content and melody of the song better. The beginning is a cappella, the next two sentences, the music starts, and the high-pitched part follows, making people indulge...

      On a special day to commemorate Whitney Houston, I have seen the bodyguards. The plot is too weak. Maybe it is very popular now~ The climax of the ending song I Will Always Love You gave me...

    Evaluation action

    "Bodyguard" can be said to be a film that successfully combines thrills, action, gunfights, entertainment and romantic tenderness. Throughout the whole film, it can be seen that it no longer focuses on intense plot development and fierce gun battle scenes, but spends a lot of space on the feelings of the world. The bodyguard Frank and the singer Melen originally hated and rejected each other, but in the contact, Melen gradually saw the...
