      Just a prank

      I think this suspenseful film is more about the nature of human nature. When I see "Godot", my first impression will be associated with Beckett's "Waiting for Godot". The "Godot" in this drama represents beauty and hope. Admittedly, I think the name of the second male in this film is very elegant. Although "Godot" is the one who is bullied and oppressed, he is also the one who represents justice and love. Simon's lying is a wrong thing in itself, and "Godot" just represents justice to punish...

      tangled revenge

      The early stage is long, and the last burst.

      The three views of this movie make me sick. I'm not against violence with violence and an eye for an eye, but the second male's revenge makes me sick. Although it is logically reasonable to combine the experience of the second male by molesting a woman, I personally cannot accept it. Women are innocent after all.

      Secondly, this kind of revenge is too unreliable, even if his wife is not as good as the script, the revenge may not be...

      poor person must have something mean

      The heroine is really the Virgin, but she thinks a little too independently. This kind of woman should be rare in China. I watched a movie before and the hero and heroine divorced because of their different opinions on a trivial matter. I appreciate this kind of principled and thinking woman, but I personally think that if you get married, you still need to pursue a high degree of fit. No matter how high the personal quality is, the team wisdom is too low and boring, too noisy, and Asian women...

      The three views are really not recognized

      In 2015, the suspenseful thriller "The Gift | The Gift", the translation was a little far-fetched. This gift has nothing to do with fatality. I thought it would be a bloody movie based on the name. I didn't expect it to be an ordinary perverted story, but The hearts of these three main characters do not seem to be normal. . (The woman is okay, maybe it's because of her pregnancy) The plot is far-fetched and bloody, and the rhythm is slow and annoying. Even if you jump and watch it, it doesn't...

      A bad past and a bad present are not inevitable.

      I don't want to say whether Simon is good or bad, I want to say Gordo.

          Gordo should have an element of jealousy in it. He probably didn't expect the male protagonist to be able to live so well without his past completely, with a job, a wife and a big house. Why can you leave the past behind and go smoothly, but I can never get rid of it.

          Gordo also has a criminal record, breaking into homes and kidnapping children. Is this so-called self-abuse? Since everyone thinks...

      Originally thought it would be bloody and violent, but it turned out that I was thinking too much. The director wanted to take the route of psychological suspense, but since the story is too childish, there is no depth to dig. Make a TV series, an episode of 40 minutes is enough, It's really too bland and too slow to make a movie. The only thing is that the actors are all very tasty, and the Huayi Brothers actually appeared in the...

      62/100 Thanks for reminding me of the experiences of being bully in middle school. The person being bullied may be very angry at the time, but we are more attributing the reason for being bully to ourselves, so we expect more and more to gain the approval of the person who implements the bully. I guess that's why people who are bullied tend not to hate them too much. Have the opportunity to carefully recall previous experiences and write them...

    Evaluation action

    The style of "Deadly Gift" is similar to the 2014 "Disappearing Lover", which is based on revenge, spreading out from subtle events, gradually revealing the dark history of the characters, and rendering an extremely terrifying atmosphere. The director of the film, due to his rich acting experience and creative experience, made him well acquainted with the essence of Hollywood film narrative, which enabled the film to control the...

    Movie quotes

    • Gordo: See, you're done with the past, but the past is not done with you.

    • Gordo: It's all in the eyes, you see.

      Gordo: You see what happens when you poison other people's mind with ideas?

    • Ron: Normally, friendships grow organically. And if they don't serve both parties, they just kind of dissipate.

      Simon: Yeah, that'd be great.

      Ron: What you're talking about is, you know, an asymmetric thing. A one-sided friendship? I mean, essentially you're being forced into a breakup.
