      golden giants

      I don't see where the gold is. Through the role of the psychic mother, the thickness of history and the inheritance of the family are put together, but this kind of work is really difficult, and my personal favorite is "Farewell My Concubine". Because this kind of work needs to have a strong emotional core in addition to superb makeup and acting skills in the characters. This film has done a good job in the former aspect. In 2012, the two leading actresses of the Oscar nominated Meryl Sturt....

      relation between events

      I always remember the confession that Aunt Mei left her daughter's diary in the film: writing these down is to let you understand the relationship between events.
          If you live to 90 years old and start all over again, you will be the smartest person in the world.
          I haven't read the original book, but I want to try to do an analysis of this relation myself.
          Let's talk about Esteban first. His mother was seriously ill, mentally negative, and waited for death every day....

      Sri Lankan never return

      It was only when the crew list was raised that I realized that I was going to see this family from afar, and it was the love affair of two or three generations. The English name of the film is better than the German and Chinese versions. The big manor has a soul, and the family has the blood of Yin and Yang—it has nothing to do with money, and there is no need to elicit people's "richness for three generations". Lenovo.

      The world is really a wonderful ring-shaped existence. Those who...

      Lots of big names. . . It's really inappropriate for Aunt Mei to play a 20-year-old girl. Her expression and actions are really girly, but her face makes me feel like a 40-year-old aunt. . . Uncle Tie's voice is so charming. . . There are so many cute loli in there. ....

      After reading it, I realized that the original book was the House of Ghosts. I had seen that book many times in bookstores, and put it down every time I picked it up. After watching this movie, it can be regarded as fulfilling that wish in another...
