      How hard is it to be a normal person?

      For a normal person, being a normal person is as simple as breathing and drinking water. For abnormal people, it is very difficult to be normal.

      This director's films have been watched for a few days, but they are almost the same. They all tell the stories of how some wonderful members of society struggled to save themselves and become normal people. The title of the green butcher is very paradoxical. Swende has lost both his parents since he was a...

      Realistic style "absurd" film

      I thought it would be a black absurd comedy like Delicatessan, but it turned out to be a social drama with a realistic style. The marginalized figures who have been abandoned by society, each with their own misery and misery, each with their own secrets, and when they are under pressure on the verge of collapse, they have made "significant discoveries" by chance, leaving them in extinction in an extremely realistic society. Come to life. The degree of bloody weirdness is far inferior to the...

      Hannibal's Prequel-The Butcher Hannibal

      This movie is the prequel to Hannibal, telling the story of Uncle Ba’s days in Europe before immigrating to the United States. Uncle Ba is a butcher who makes good sausages and meatballs [fog], and a silent friend (po) [great fog]. Uncle Ba was dissatisfied with his rude boss, so he decided to start a new shop and open a meat sausage shop.

      If you like the TV series Hannibal very much, but cannot understand Uncle Ba’s motives for his love for Will and his feelings about Uncle Ba’s...

      Human flesh buns

      I have been working with murderous films in the past two days. Why are there so many anti-humanitarian films these days? But it's also better, better than those fake vindicator films.
       
      This is indeed very similar to the "Keep Silent" just finished above. Whoever gets in the way will do it! This "done" is still completely Chinese-style thinking, it is really made into food, cooked sausages and marinades and the like. This is also like the thinking of the Chinese. Since Sun Erniang...

    Movie quotes

    • Svend: Taste this marinade.

      Bjarne: No.

      Svend: Smell this marinade.

      Bjarne: I smoke 20 joints a day. I couldn't smell it if my hair was on fire.

    • Svend: [the workers are hanging up a sign] No. It's crooked again. Are you really unable to see that?

      Håndværker: Give me a break. It looks fine

      Svend: Fine? Is fine okay? I don't think so... let me tell you, you can't drink 19 beers and then judge whether something is straight, I tell you that! Now do it over!

      Bjarne: [Bjarne comes out of the car] It's nice and straight now, huh? It looks fine.

      Håndværker: Thank you.

      Svend: Yeah... Now it's okay. Secure it properly.

    • Svend: I don't feel like seeing a lot of people right now.

      Bjarne: Then don't go into the cooler.
