      Note

      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...

      Manchurian candidate

      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...

      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...

      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...
