      I just want to say (spoiler)

             Zorro ended his legendary life in the most ordinary way, tacitly and extremely far-fetched, passing on the heavy responsibility of anti-violence and peace to his son-in-law, monopolizing this great and heavy mission into a family business, this kind of cold back wave push The storyline of the previous wave makes me very unhappy. Although there is Zeta Jones, which I like in the play, the pale and boring plot cannot be concealed. Zorro, who has just reached middle age, can no...

      Mexican history

      An old movie, the memory of the story when I was a child is forgotten, only the brand new senses of this movie are left. The people's uprising and the indiscriminate killing of innocents by the colonies, things that happened in the old age still trembled in my heart. The reason why Mexicans all speak Spanish is that they can only be shown with flesh and blood.

      The beauty of "transformation" creates a legend

      When watching a movie, the expectation of "transition" is one of the driving forces that drove me to follow the development of the plot. What is "transformation" is actually a kind of Cinderella complex: looking forward to the gorgeous transformation of the gray-headed village woman wearing crystal shoes; or, like Zhang Wuji, accidentally dissecting a book "Nine Suns" from the belly of the old ape In the classics, you can get one enemy ten by training with pure Yang internal strength....

      The dream is successful, the hero ends, and the theater lasts forever. #2020siff

      If the transfer fails, it is a blessing. Fortunately, I didn't miss it, and it can be regarded as a successful ending for the Shanghai Film Festival.

      It’s been a long time since I watched such a sincere movie. Sitting in the theater and listening to the soundtrack designed for the storytelling, the old Zorro’s vigorous tone (automatically ignore the subtitles in the Chinese-English part), the young Zorro playing with swords and teasing horses. Growing up, Catherine's peerless look...

      Heroes and Gentlemen

      The words and deeds of English gentlemen are so elegant,
      simple but complicated.
      The old nobleman wore a gorgeous coat, holding a few boxes of gold bars, with a charming smile at the corners of his mouth
      -dealing with the upper class prom, talking
      with those who agree or disagree with,
      like gentlemen, jokes
      -chasing the eternal not Changed interests,
      but never constant friends, and
      enemies are the same.

      Jelena's beauty is heartbreaking....

    Evaluation action

    "Zorro's Mask" is a sequel to the film versions of many previous "Zorro" stories. There is nothing surprising in the storyline, but the action scenes of the film are more exciting than the old version, coupled with the full-powered, fully sparkling cast, it is an entertaining film worth watching.
    The cast of the film is very eye-catching. The old Zorro is played by British movie star Anthony Hopkins, and the new version of Zorro is...
