      Barely watch as a love movie

      "Unparalleled" has not been painted yet. That is to make counterfeit banknotes, this is to make high imitation art. In fact, banknotes are also works of art. With the popularity of virtual currency and electronic payment, banknotes will disappear in the future, or become collectibles like stamps, but how many people still collect stamps today?

      I remembered a documentary I watched about the painters of Dafen Oil Painting Village in Shenzhen. They imitated world famous paintings and hung...

      Accidentally became a long comment 3

      I don’t know why it is only 5.7 points. Maybe it’s because I saw some comments on Tencent Video that affected my objective analysis. The movie I watched with emotion is indeed a nonsense plot, and it doesn’t have the complete logic chain of some blockbusters, but I am still swayed by it. Moved.

      From the beginning of the movie, it was decided that it was the genre that I liked. Today, I am still struggling with the idea that I don't like watching blockbusters, and I thought that Mary's...

      The picture of the movie is very beautiful, and there is Xiao Ha's ice cube face that has not changed for thousands of years. Although I know that it is normal for the protagonist living in this environment to be emotional, but I still think that Xiao Ha is like nuts, and Quan should practice English...

    Movie quotes

    • Joshua: Yeah, he's cool, but, uh, I DO think, that after all my efforts, that I, uh, deserve a kiss.

      Amber: Whoo! Slow down! Ha-ha. A kiss for the con man who punched my brother.

      Joshua: Yeah.

      Amber: Hnn.

      Joshua: That sounds reasonable. It's an idea.

      Amber: I have an idea.

      Joshua: What?

      Amber: How about you kiss my butt when I beat you down the beach?

      Joshua: What do I get if I win?

      Amber: Nothing, and you'll like it!

    • Everly: You take a painting by a particular artist, a lesser known work of little value; you strip it and then paint a forgery of a more valuable work over it.

      Joshua: Wow, I guess you have this thing down to a science.

      Everly: Many paintings hanging in great museums are forgeries.

      Joshua: Really? Like, even famous ones?

      Everly: You better believe it.

    • Everly: This kid is screwed up in the head. He is an emotional wreck. You know how hard a life in art is. Forgery isn't perfect, but he could make a living at it. I'm giving him a way so he never has to worry about money. Yeah, I'm tinkering, but the little bastard doesn't even know how lucky he is.
