      Means No Harm.

      I found that I have unintentionally watched a lot of Brit Marling movies recently.
      I like this girl more and more.
      She is beautiful, mysterious and wise.
      It can be felt from her eyes and acting style.
      Also talk about the content of this story.
      I believe there are such anarchy organizations both at home and abroad.
      Playing big is called a cult.
      For example, FL G...

      Seen from the east

      It's a movie played by cctv6 again, I saw it accidentally, about crime, terrorists, and revenge. The whole film is neither procrastinated nor compact, like a boiled frog in warm water. The heroine, undercover, walks into those terrorist organizations named Oriental, lives together, and participates in terrorist activities together. On the one hand, she reports to her employer on the progress. She accepted Dongfang’s thoughts from her heart. When she rushed to the trash can and picked...

      "Oriental": The righteous men walking on the edge of darkness

      Under the arrangement of a certain company, a female agent secretly sneaked into a mysterious organization called "Eastern", and as a member, she learned about this group of young people who retaliated against the leaders of major unethical companies in the name of environmental protection. With the understanding of the members of the East and the deep thinking of the organization's philosophy, the female agents can't help but feel good about the members of the organization, and change their...

      Different road non-phase plan

      For the rights of strangers, would you force your own father to jump into a polluted river? When the Chinese see this, they should say: What is this TM? Nizi! But in the eyes of Westerners, this seems to be a righteous act of daring to abandon everything. Although it is not recognized by everyone, it is definitely not an act of rebellion. This may be the biggest difference in thinking between the East and the West. According to the aforementioned thinking, Chinese people will definitely think...

      Discuss the meaning of the end

      Direct spoiler to the end, be careful.

      My understanding is that the heroine was employed by the private security company Bruder after the FBI resigned, and then was sent to the East by the security company to work as an undercover agent, but at the end it seemed that she was actually the FBI. After she got the list of Bruder’s undercover agents, she directly contacted those undercover agents to obtain information, and then directly solved those environmental pollution problems through...

      Very good themes and perspectives, but too self-absorbed in the pursuit of austere and restrained literary and artistic tone, ignoring the use of some basic elements of genre films, making the film weightless and unbalanced, neither falling into the focus of critical reflection, but also the role of the film. Just stay on the representational level of...

    Movie quotes

    • Sarah: Why is it that self-righteousness always goes hand-in-hand with resistance movements?

    • Benji: You probably wouldn't like what you find here anyway.

      Sarah: Why is that?

      Benji: Well, because this is the end of the road. There's no where to hide.

      Sarah: And you think I'm not tough enough for the truth.

      Benji: No, I think you're not soft enough for it.

    • Benji: We are The East. And we are your wake-up call. And we are not hiding from you.

      BenjiIzzy: [now in unison] We *are* you. We are the morning you got off the treadmill and ran under the open sky. We're the first time you kissed someone and they kissed you back.

      Izzy: We are the night you couldn't sleep. The night you stared at the ceiling thinking, "Is this it? Is this the best life has to offer?" No. There is a freedom in you that knows no fear.
