      Weird name, deeply moved

      To be honest, when I first saw this movie, I didn't understand the meaning of the movie's name (because I didn't read the spoiler beforehand), I thought it was a translation problem, but after watching it, I realized what the real movie was about Blocked panic, very uncomfortable. The film takes conspiracy and love as the main line, and the memory and reality of the hero Justin are constantly intertwined and interspersed as the keynote of the whole film. His wife, Tessa, lost her life in order...

      notes

      The old film in 2005, I remember watching it back then, I remember it as a very exciting suspense film, but when I rewatched it this time, I found out that it was a moving love film. All concealment is due to protection, and all misunderstandings are due to deep love. Immortal gardener, or immortal love, how many people can truly trust and love in marriage? In order to protect her husband, Tessa had to bear all the ugliness of the outside world, so that he could feel at ease in the...

      love is immortal

      Overwhelmed by the love of the male and female protagonists. I was moved by a quote from Tess - I exist because of my work. She worked tirelessly to realize the ideal that many people only dare to stop in words. The heroine strives to maintain conscience and justice. In addition to the courage and responsibility of the male and female protagonists with great love, in addition to their romantic and tragic love for each other, the chaotic Africa and the trampled lives on its land amaze me even...

      This is a love movie

      The hero's love is heartbreaking when he says he has no home, she is my home

      I like this actor. I like the innocence in his eyes when he laughs. What impresses me is the smile at the dinner table with an old friend

      Even in the end, he is still the one who holds the gun and removes the bullet, still calm and calm in the face of death

      I prefer this to be a love movie, even if his realistic shooting technique makes me dizzy

      In the end, the bad guy was not punished, but...

      The story is not well told, it feels like the storyteller is intoxicated and distracted when he tells it, but the flashbacks are very useful, and the actors also make up for some of the actors to a large extent. How can Rachel Weisz be so beautiful and kill me. . ....
