      those small towns

      Marilynne Robinson's 2004 novel "Gilead" describes the virtual town of Gilead in the US state of Iowa. The story unfolds in the form of pastor John Ames's loose end-of-life memoir to his six-year-old son, from the abolition movement to the 1960s, when the appearance of a conservative central town emerges on paper in just a few episodes. This is a very "difficult to read" book - the plot is basically negligible, even the descriptions of everyday scenes are secondary cutscenes, and the key...

      true imperfection

      This is one of the best films I saw at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Sean McGinly's debut, I like the young director. Although some criticized Malkovich for playing the mentalist/magician and the university law department The character communication of the drop-out Hanks is not very in-depth, but this is originally a comedy/drama with some fairy tales and ambition. McGinly, who wrote the script, told the story very fascinating. In addition, Malkovich is still the same as always. The acting...

      Revelations about the 'Finding Money' show

      This is another thought of my ending.
      Great Buck, not as bad as we thought. Why does he frequently perform in small towns? As soon as you go to a big city like Las Vegas, do you stop eating?

      Here's why: Over the years, Buck has accumulated a lot of regular fans, old friends, and even former assistants in these cities.

      These people are unknowingly helping this old man to maintain the myth of looking for money.

      When Mr. Buck was helplessly searching in the...

      Great'S Film

      Great film, the film consistently expresses a persistent theme.
      ColinHanks is dedicated to pursuing the life he wants, and
      John Malkovich is dedicated to dedicating his performance only to the audience who love and believe in him.
      Like hypnotism, only those who believe in hypnotism will be hypnotized.
      As for the unbelieving audience, there will be a failed magic - Lost!
      For a professional magician, there should be no intentional mistakes in performance.

      He...

      Fighting tiger brothers, fighting father and son soldiers, for the son's play, Tom Hanks is willing to be a green leaf. Buck has continued his performance consistently for decades, believing that persistence is victory. John Malkovich interprets the characters vividly, inspirational film,...
