A perfect sexual obscenity, the lines are very interesting.
Note: Before the screening, the teacher told the story of the abuse of US prisoners of war, and then quite rightly said that the US military dropped countless bombs in North Korea during the war. North Korea was almost razed to the ground. The war is ugly and no one is more kind. Hearing an American educating students in this way, instead of blindly discrediting the hostile camp in wartime, I feel a little bit of humanity...

Do conspiracy theories really exist? Everyone who explores this question is like asking himself whether the dream he had last night actually happened. Believing in conspiracy theories is like being in a dream without knowing it.
The obsession and enthusiasm for mysterious and supernatural events, I think, is the childhood memory of many boys. UFOs, aliens, Mayan civilization...As long as you come into contact with these magical knowledge, it's like being fascinated. At that time, we always...

A top-notch political thriller directed by John Frankenheimer. The choreographer perfectly combines the political satire of the Cold War era with suspenseful stories, and the atmosphere is compact and compelling, with dramatic tension.
The background of the story is the United States after the Korean War. Lawrence Xiawei was treated as a war hero when he returned to the country and won the Congressional Medal. However, his brothers in the same platoon and his platoon leader Frank Sinatra...

The fate of control and anti-control
-Two versions of "Manchurian Candidate" and "Destiny Planning Bureau" review
Zhu Ye
's "The Manchurian Candidate" filmed in 1962, The Manchurian Candidate (1962) is a good movie, this one The film interestingly combines personal fate into the background of the Cold War at that time. The battle hero Raymond Shaw, who was deeply physiologically hypnotized, is controlled by the Eastern camp. At the same time, his mother is also a...

Cultural Revolution model play
From the perspective of the Americans in the Cold War in 1962, this film is probably fair: the plot is bizarre and can almost be connected with science fiction; the famous beauties; of course, the most important thing is to fully demonstrate the victory of Great Americanism and the invincibility of the United States. declaration.
But from the perspective of purely appreciating movies, especially today when the film industry is extremely developed, this movie is not much better than...

The editing is smooth and precise, and the photography is very textured, showing the charm of black and white films. The story seems to be a very interesting symbol today, representing the damage to people's hearts caused by the Cold War. This damage was achieved by provoking people within a country to attack each other, and the most fierce people who shouted that anti-communist was the traitor. Today we are still living under the influence of Cold War mentality. The disadvantage is that the...

At 8.5 points, I was a little confused at the beginning, and when the mystery was solved at the end, it was a great political...

Cold War monument. In the dispute between the female square Q (the youth and motherhood), the communists shouted anti-communism instead, and they were the people closest to them, a satire of...

It's a gigantic masterpiece. The most fitting comparison would be Fuller's Horror Corridor. It does not do as cleanly as the latter, but has greater ambitions than the latter. The spy war is just a frame, with a psychological story inside and a political conspiracy inside. There is no one layer of meaning itself that is brilliant, but the combination of the three layers makes the story extremely sinister. The Parallax View, the New Wave business card for Hollywood films, has an entire paragraph...
Dr. Yen Lo: I'm sure you've all heard the old wives' tale that no hypnotized subject may be forced to do that which is repellent to his moral nature, whatever that may be. Nonsense of course.
Jocie: Darling.
[pause]
Raymond Shaw: What?
Jocie: Nothing, Just... Darling.
Mrs. Iselin: It has been decided that you will be dressed as a priest, to help you get away in the pandemonium afterwards. Chunjin will give you a two-piece Soviet Army sniper's rifle that fits nicely into a special bag. There's a spotlight booth that won't be in use. It's up under the roof on the Eighth Avenue side of the Garden. You will have absolutely clear, protected shooting. You are to shoot the presidential nominee through the head. And Johnny will rise gallantly to his feet and lift Ben Arthur's body in his arms, stand in front of the microphones and begin to speak. The speech is short. But it's the most rousing speech I've ever read. It's been worked on, here and in Russia, on and off, for over eight years. I shall force someone to take the body away from him and Johnny will really hit those microphones and those cameras with blood all over him, fighting off anyone who tries to help him, defending America even if it means his own death, rallying a nation of television viewers to hysteria, to sweep us up into the White House with powers that will make martial law seem like anarchy! Now, this is very important. I want the nominee to be dead two minutes after he begins his acceptance speech - depending on his reading time under pressure. You are to hit him right at the point that he finishes the phrase, "Nor would I ask of any fellow American in defense of his freedom that which I would not gladly give myself - my life before my liberty." Is that absolutely clear?
