      Numbness is still grandiose

      The protagonist can have revenge so peacefully that all vows (religions) become absurd and cease to exist. Of course, I was neither "moved" nor shocked. I was just wondering why he left a pair of pants when he let his body sink to the bottom of the lake after he killed his half-brother? If you think about it, even if he is found, he is just a corpse. Whether he wears pants or not can be used as evidence. In the end, Elvis killed his sister and her mother and went to find his father. This ending...

      Bottom line

      After watching this film intermittently, maybe because of the discontinuity, the film feels lighter to me.
        Recently, I have been talking about the bottom line of love. The bottom line of people will always be bottomed out again and again. However, in the end we will still have the most extreme nerve, which cannot be touched, and will inevitably break when we touch it. My bottom line of love is very low, but I cannot tolerate my loved ones hurting my family.
         I have always been...

      Who is the man and the devil-the bastard son of God


      The decision between what is possible and what is not often brings impulse and infinite power to comfort oneself.
      He retired from the Navy and still looked like a big boy, but thinking back to the beginning of the film, this innocent veteran clearly had a plan in his heart, but he didn't know whether he was going to admit his relatives or kill someone. Even after being rejected by his biological father, he still had a calm face, "I just wanted to greet, nothing more." When I saw this,...

      The King: The essence of breaking the rules

      That's awesome! Politics, religion, revenge, violence, incest... an hour and a half sturdy, I can't breathe.
       
      When Elvis put on the crown made of wrapping paper, he looked at everything with pride and disdain. This illegitimate child who drove in a broken car and lived in a broken shop to do bad things became the illegitimate child of God; afterwards, when he burned the same His half-brother’s pants, he killed Marelli and her mother, he burned the big house, and he stood in front of...

      Our new film by Gael Garcia Bernal

      A seemingly bright but deeply moving movie. After nearly 100 minutes, as the story develops, the more you look at it, the more you see which part of your heart is stuck, even though the director has deliberately said the story so calmly .

          The film tells the story of a young man who has been discharged from the Navy. With his mother’s relics, he finds his father he has never met. After being coldly rejected by the other party, he takes revenge at all costs and fights for the rights...

      Such a story was recorded on the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. A nine-colored deer with divine power one day pointed the way for a group of Persian merchants. The Persian merchant told the king about the nine-colored deer, and the queen knew about it, so she must catch the nine-colored deer and come back to make clothes. It happened that a snake charmer knew the whereabouts of the nine-color deer, but the snake charmer swore to the nine-color deer that he would not reveal its whereabouts. What if...

    Creative process

    James Marsh wanted to make a movie similar to "Dance of Death Row", so he contacted the screenwriter of "Dance of Death Row," Melo Adika. Marsh and Adika met in Corpus Christi, Texas, because the place name and the local Gothic refinery itself contained drama, and both of them had a soft spot for dark and dangerous story materials. Marsh and Edika began to conceive stories, complementing each other, and their same understanding of...
