      "God only gives gifts to those who go to heaven, but on earth we have to help each other."

      There is no background of grievances and entanglements, and there is no heart-wrenching lingering lingering, deserted tones, dilapidated containers, people's always sitting posture, everything seems to be sorry for the title of "The Man Without the Past", which is very suspenseful. .

           After waiting for more than an hour, I thought that a man would have a mysterious identity, only to know in the last few minutes that it was just an ordinary welder.

           All people are...

      Will the tree be sad for the fallen leaves?

      A man's ignorant romantic cell is indispensable. "Can I send you back? I'm afraid of the dark." When chasing Emma, ​​it is also romantic to the end. "Will the tree be sad for its fallen leaves?" I remember the male protagonists in "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Man Who Stealed the Key", "Happy Terminal" and "Beautiful Mind" for a while. Work Transformation Band "I've never heard of music killing people anyway" Chasing after a girlfriend is not bad, but after you regain your identity,...

      There is no man in the past, he now has a red shirt

      I couldn't help but wonder what the first thing I would do if I suddenly lost my memory one day and woke up in an unfamiliar place.

      Getting flustered is probably my label. But the male protagonist here seems to exude a kind of nobility and poetry from the bottom of his heart. If I don't have the past, then my future is endless. Possibilities are endless, I know music, and I am full of romantic feelings.

      Oh, what a goddamn idealism. Kindness without a reason is the...

      This is definitely the best movie of Archie Kaurismaki, the post-industrial atmosphere, the cold story, the loneliness at the bottom, the near-perfect music mastery, and the precious happy ending `I've always been worried about the director's final turn , let the protagonist go back to loneliness~~ I can't help laughing when I see that the new husband of the protagonist's wife is the male protagonist of "Light of...

      Kaurismaki is possessed by Bresson! Starting from the beginning after the past is isolated, the story is actually very simple, but the personal style is strong. The actors are all old faces, and the small cute points are also very warm. As for the music, what Aki's films will never forget is the...

    Evaluation action

    "The Man Without a Past" is a black comedy about survival with a strong sense of humor. By thinking about the alienation of Finnish society and paying attention to the problem of homelessness, it eulogized the warm power of human nature and condemned society's ruthless oppression of the disadvantaged. The film focuses on the life of the bottom people in Finland and tells the simplicity and kindness of the poor people at the bottom. On...
