      love her, let her go

      The idea of ​​​​the film is similar to the "butterfly effect". It should not be surprising that what moved me was the love of a man for a woman.

      The male protagonist in the film, because of the shuttle of time, miraculously met and fell in love with the girl he once met in his real life. However, the choice has now become the end of his life.

      How about being able to travel through time and space? Is it because of the satisfaction of these 4 days that she has been sinking...

      I see "Phantom Jacket"

      After reading "Fantasy Jacket" and "A Wasteful Time Travel" by Netease Entertainment Zijun, I find it difficult to agree with this comment. Although there is a "subjective first" argument from top to bottom on the forum, I believe that for a generation like us who grew up in a closed environment, to have a little "skeptical" spirit, at least in my opinion, is still should be promoted.

       

      Compared with "I Love Huckabee" and "The Mechanic", "Fantasy Jacket" is more difficult to...

      How long do we have?

      I only watched this movie once, but I was impressed and understood it completely. The final digression did not appear in the movie. It should be a sentence that the heroine said after the hero and heroine lingered on the bed, because Jack did not It belongs to her world. She doesn't know when her lover will disappear forever, so she asks this question.
      Remember Jack's letter to her mother? The letter said that no matter how bad life is, as long as you live, there is always a chance to...

      The world is still so beautiful

      Saturday, a sunny but not hot Saturday, I hid in a corner of the house, kneeling on one leg, one leg curled up in front of my chest, a glass of pure water, two big white rabbit red beans Toffee simply accompany me to finish reading "The Phantom Jacket".

      Just like the way I watch the film, the film makes me comfortable, even though I didn't feel that way when the film first started.

      I have seen the introduction of the film before, but the content has been forgotten. I only...

      A wasteful time travel

      Half an hour after the start of the film, there is no doubt that the "nightmare" came again, or should be said, the past buried deep in memory is repeatedly entangled with reality in the form of nightmares; just like last year's "Manchuria" No matter how unwilling to let go of the terrifying memory fragments of the male protagonist in "Candidate", it is even more like the unbearable crazy fragment of Jacob's Ladder in "A Different World" more than ten years ago: the desolate desert in the war,...
