      There are two worlds ですか (minor spoilers)

      In the real world, is it a weirdo or an FBI man, which is more accurate and which is more complete?

          I can't help but think of the yellow monkey (one piece), cynical, but reliable, good and evil, but friendly. Maybe it's the strong sense of being "more real".
          There is a joke called "If you are serious, you will lose." It seems that people who want to force only put their seriousness in the joke to be at least not a geek. Yes, like this current society, like a coin, one...

      Tired of watching beautiful movies, you must eat some fruit

      The necessary elements of a police and bandit film are

      conspiracy, speeding, justice (or discussing justice), gunfights and various protagonists.

      Irish police and bandit films say that

      we only love clean pictures and endless rants, spit on you No slot to spit. . .
      Of course, the protagonist wants to hang up, but since it's an unspoken rule, then it's obvious. I don't need to find a reason



      . I downloaded this film excitedly, but when I...

      Bad guard: cold humor everywhere

      In recent years, Nicholas Cage has not many films highlighting his own strength, so that they have become the king of bad films, but the 2009 "Bad Lieutenant" is a level work, people almost forget that Cage returned When he was once the Oscar actor, he quietly exerted his strength again, exploded again, and then fell silent again.

      "Bad Lieutenant" is a very personalized film that shows the actor's skill. A superintendent who wanders between justice and evil has done a lot of bad...

      National Guard

      The movie that has been lying on the hard drive for a long time, after watching it, I feel that it must be Martin Macdonald's work. It is too similar to the billboard style. When I checked, the screenwriter and director turned out to be my brother John Michael Macdonald. The styles of the two brothers are very similar, and the elder brother is more playful and explicit. For expressing characters, they also like to find shining shadows from ordinary or even flawed personalities. The fat...

    Movie plot

    Sheriff Gerry Boyle is a strange man with a bad temper. He has no sense of humor and has a strange personality. Because he works in County Galway all the year round, he knows the whole area well. He has seen too many stories of joys and sorrows, so he never considered the meaning of the world. When this quiet town became a key location for a huge drug dealing case, Boyle had to cooperate with FBI agent Wendell, who was less humorous,...

    Behind the scenes of

    11 years ago, John Michael Macdonald made his debut, the short film "Second Death". In that short film there is a young policeman named Gehry . A few years later, MacDonald picked up a pen to write the script for this little character. Later, because of all sorts of messy things, the script was only written on ten pages. Although there is a separate plot, it is not enough to be made into a short film. Macdonald still felt that he...

    Movie quotes

    • Liam O'Leary: [holding a gun on him] You should get a dog. Or a parrot, maybe. Something to raise the alarm, you know. Ned Kelly had a peacock.

      Sergeant Gerry Boyle: I've always wanted a giraffe.

    • Clive Cornell: [loading in drug shipment] Where the fuck did you find those three?

      Francis Sheehy: Oh, I put an ad in the paper saying, "Henchmen wanted."

    • [last lines]

      Man With Camera: Didn't you foil a drug-trafficking operation and knock off a trio of drug barons to boot? What's unhappy about that?

      FBI agent Wendell Everett: Lost a good man.

      Man With Camera: I wouldn't be too sure about that now. I mean, they never recovered a body, did they?

      FBI agent Wendell Everett: It's a big sea out there. He's dead. Either burned up or drowned.

      Eugene Moloney: But he was a really good swimmer.

      FBI agent Wendell Everett: I'm sorry, son, that was just bullshit. He weren't never in the Olympics.

      Man With Camera: Maybe so. Sure it's easy enough to look up anyways.
