      The Distinguished Citizen--A Very Dark And Humorous Film

      A very dark and humorous film, foreshadowed by a humble and obedient author, who used a lot of details to perfect every townman he encountered after returning to his native place.

      Almost every "little incident" from the middle to the end is very interesting, from which you can not only see the...

      Distinguished Citizen - Humanity in Light and Shadow

      "Outstanding Citizen" tells the story of a Nobel Prize-winning writer who is invited to return to his hometown to give a speech, confronted with the opposition of two lifestyles and values, and experienced life and death.

      Writer Daniel won the Nobel Prize for Literature, but it seemed to bring the end of his career as a writer, and he never wrote again for the next five years and declined invitations to various world-class events.

      One day he received an invitation from...

      ~

      In Salas, it was fun to pull writer Daniel around the city in a fire truck to say hello to people.

      Have you met Erin? (Antonio, Erin's husband, boyfriend's past friend)

      - Well, we met yesterday, and we walked and talked.

      Very good, do you think she is okay?

      -very good.

      What do you think of her?

      - She looks great, Erin is a good woman.

      You know, it's hard, really hard. It's been three years since you left, and she still cares about you. I remember one...

      Distinguished Citizen

      The unique poster of this movie can tell us very intuitively that the male protagonist is the focus of attention, but this kind of focus under the star can't help but make people shudder. The film tells the story of the male protagonist who was invited to return to his hometown of Salas, a small town in Argentina after 40 years of absence, after winning the Nobel Prize for Literature. Distinguished citizens became "wolverine citizens" rejected by everyone, and even nearly lost their lives....

      The past is not as good as smoke, and the hometown is not beautiful. After five years of bottlenecks in returning home to collect wind, the poor mountain people insisted on pretending to sleep; you copied reality, and reality retaliates against...

      I watched several commercial films on the market in succession, including the successful "Wolf Warrior 2", and the unsuccessful "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and "Despicable Me 3". Look. This film has a big appetite for me. It has content and skills. It gives people a lot of inspiration and joy. It should also be given full...

      I watched it on the high-speed train, and almost gave up the show, because after watching it for about ten minutes, it still didn't attract me. Fortunately, I gave it another chance, and if I sink my heart, I will reap one episode after another worth recalling. What you can't reach is called a distant place, and what you can't go back to is your...

    Movie plot

    The taciturn novelist Daniel Mantovani ( Oscar Martínez ) has an inexplicable and unexplainable relationship with success: success has brought him wealth that other writers of the same era cannot match, but it makes him worry about himself. There is no longer the precious edges and corners that were before fame.
    Five years later, the writer who settled in Barcelona was still very popular. He had to ask his assistant to politely decline...

    Evaluation action

    "El ciudadano ilustre" still impressed almost everyone with its solid narrative and connotation, and it has done a good job of cultural cultivation and the responsibility of reflecting social issues. The film uses humor as an emotional bedding, intensifies the contradictions in the final chapter, and gives a thick and sharp ending, which is solid and beautifully completed. The humor, lines, and characters all show that this movie...
