      Our own concrete garden

      2007-12-30 23:03



      Chatting with Mr. Paul today, Paul said, "The biggest thing we have in common is staying away from the world. Mistakes."

      "I think it's a mistake now." I said "Often people like to make mistakes, and I'm the type of unrepentant."

      Paul said, "Please change a little."

      I said, "I can't change it." Maybe I will be forced to change part of it when I become a mother in the future.

      just that

      The French love to do this. Then it was awarded, and it was called art, which I never understood. Until one day I saw Wang Shuya's film review: Compared with ordinary people, these producers, directors, and artists are more literate. However, their culture is precisely anti-cultural, anti-classical culture. Enlightenment (ism) was a turning point in culture, before which literate people generally believed in sublime, great, beautiful, elegant, etc. Enlightenment turned all of this upside down....

      cold warm blue

      The front is very barren, and the more you go to the back, the more beautiful the story.

      beautiful body

      It's a movie made after thinking about it.
      There are no commercial elements . The
      shots are always so single

      , but I remember their beautiful bodies.
      I've seen them, so the most beautiful and cleanest scenes in ML

      evoke your familiar, bizarre, childhood like a long time ago. Emotions experienced by the times. A single shot, although there are plants, children, and traces of modernity, can never find a sense of time or existence. A story that exists...

      time calms

      Nothing is impossible in this world, nothing is impossible in this world.
       
      Life is only a few decades short, and the three principles of morality and ethics are like shackles that make life difficult, one step, three breaths, one step and three kowtows.

      Live for yourself once, love yourself once, why not.
          
      At first, I couldn't understand the kind of love that was so careful in the slits of life but gave all the support to each other. When I looked back at it...

      Movies hunt for the wonder of brother-sister intercourse more than novels. The most unacceptable adaptation is the last part, in the novel, the dog sealed in the cement is Julie's interpretation, and the dog's name cosmo is also what Julie said, which means that Julie not only read the book Jack gave her And also formed a conspiracy relationship with Jack here, which led to the final mutual confession. In the movie, it's rather...

      Compared with the original work, the main character is too small and fresh, but it seems that hiding a corpse and incest like this is not very offensive. After all, the screen is different from the paper. The script is basically the same as the original, and the sequence of the dinner table before and after the death of the parents is quite expressive. Besides, I have seen a lot of "teach you 100 ways to wear long legs" and so on. I am still shocked to see the real super long legs of the male...

    Movie quotes

    • Julie: Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, because it's OK to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that being a girl is degrading. But secretly you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you? What it feels like for a girl?

    • Commander Hunt: There is nothing ugly, I never saw an ugly thing in my life, for let the shape of an object be as they may: light, shade and perspective will always make it beautiful.

    • Jack: Wonder if they're watching us now.

      Tom: Who?

      Jack: Mum and Dad. Think they're in Heaven?

      Tom: Don't know about Dad but Mum's in the cellar.

      Jack: What do you mean?

      Tom: She's in the cellar under that big metal case and all that hard stuff.
