      The Magic of Belle Isle - 8/10

      When watching this film, I didn't know that Robert Reiner was the director of the film. No wonder this film is so warm and makes the audience feel relaxed and happy from the heart. From the earliest This Is Spinal Tap, to Stand by Me, to the later When Harry Met Sally..., there are many works by Robert Reiner that I love very much, and this film is no exception.

      At the beginning of the film, the protagonist is not a very lovable character, but as the film progresses, Morgan Freeman...

      This Is Life - After Viewing "Bella's Magic"

      The first time I started writing a film review, it wasn’t because this movie was particularly appealing to me, and it wasn’t because the movie was gripping and thrilling. On the contrary, this movie is more like a cup of tea, even like a cup of boiled water, plain, but not tasteless. Only this taste must be tasted by people with life experience.
      What is life? 100 people will have 100 answers. Life is the fireworks of the world, it is firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, it is...

      Sometimes I wonder, how hurt am I? This Rob Reiner's most typical film is still watched with relish. The movie adheres to Rob Reiner's consistent style, which is plain and unpretentious. It tells a story of life warmly and inspiring. It doesn't look interesting, and it's a bit tacky and hypocritical, but it can't resist the emotional and mood of healing movies. The impact, and finally can not bear to give a bad...

    Always keep the enthusiasm of life

    "The Magic of Belle Isle" represents Rob Reiner (Rob Reiner) and Morgan Freeman (Morgan Freeman) after the 2007 "bucket list" (The Bucket List), which received a great response. The second collaboration, and for each of them, such a story was put on the big screen, but what was carried was their willingness and infinite affection. Leiner admitted: "In the beginning, the script of the film came. The Castle Rock Entertainment Film...

    Evaluation action

    From the emotional point of view, the film does not have the violent sprints of traditional inspirational films from low to high, or the "familiarity" of artificial incitement, nor the "astringent" of literary and artistic films that fluctuate in madness and speechlessness. For example, the neighbors have a drink in a scene, with few lines and slow rhythm, and they are all common affairs, but in the years like water, such chats and...
