      Who says it's not no zuo no die?

      I haven't read the original novel, so I can only comment on the movie. The first is the heroine who "falls in love" with a death row prisoner and is unilaterally engaged to her; the second is the actor Matthew, who was originally a journalist in London, but has an affair with a black subordinate (?); and finally is just twenty years old , the male protagonist with so many hormones that they are useless. They are a group of people who are too busy to do their jobs. I don’t know if it’s...

      I read "Xiao Wu" that reminds me of Fenyang

      I don't know how so many people are labeled as thrillers. This film is not a thriller or suspense at all, but a narrative, with rebellion and family affection, search and chaotic bloody youth.

      It's a bit like Xiaowu and Ren Xiaoyao's tune, but the background is not a broken third-tier town in a developing country. The main line is also more progressive than "Xiao Wu": Xiao Wu is a ruined life, the two brothers in this film are still motivated and motivated, and they are just confused...

      This size ~ I like it!

      Nicole Kidman's performance is so ecstasy, it's really unbearable, even at this age, it's still so sexy the pantyhose, move your hand away, open your mouth, the last moan hits John Cusack's G-spot, the second part is on the beach with paperboy Jack, actually pee on Jack, that shot, too ecstasy , and the last part is the crazy part with the perverted man Cusack, too feast for the eyes. There are a lot of racist elements in this film, homosexuality, sexual fantasies, sexual mistreatment, and it's...

      Close to European style "author director"

      I haven't seen the critically acclaimed "Precious", so I don't have any expectations for this work. Judging from the huge controversy after the Cannes screening last year (the bottom of the competition unit), I think Lee Daniels should belong to the kind of "author-director" that is close to the European style. Sure enough, from the beginning of the film, I smelled a very different atmosphere from Hollywood commercial films. The director strives to restore the various atmospheres of the...

      The Destruction of the Goddess Bichi [Cat]


        One sentence review: Never fall in love with a murder suspect! Dangerous attraction is just an illusion.
        
        It's a sex-and-violent film with some B-movie fun, and a compelling story that's a serious feature. In 1969, it was the era of serious racial discrimination in the United States (Martin Luther King was shot in 1968), and it was also the era when the death penalty began to be a problem, let alone the story took place in the South of the South - the small state of Florida....

    Movie plot

    Ward Jensen ( Matthew McConaughey ), an aspiring reporter for the Miami Times, suddenly decided to return to the sleepy home town in Florida, on For a full 10 years in the 1960s, what was going through here was that the unique nobility and elegance of the south had to fight against the ever-increasing all-encompassing changes in society and the resulting tense antagonism. Along with Ward, there are his writing partner Yardley Acherman...(

    Evaluation action

    The film's display of sexual psychology is dressed in the coat of a detective drama, and it is full of sexual cues. In addition, the advancement of other narrative lines is mostly based on sex   . (Sina Entertainment Review)
    After all, the original book is a crime story. It is not appropriate to turn it into a youthful comedy. However, the director is not willing to let violent elements dominate the time, so he will be ruthless, and...
