      Scattered impressions

      Question: Why does the CIA want to protect Julia.

      Cross-dressing: After retrieving Garcia's belongings, the two escaped from the car. They only brought paper documents, but no bags and video tapes.

      The job of the president is to tease the dog and make a show. There are staff who come up with ideas.

      Can the president ask the head of the FBI not to investigate someone? No, otherwise it would be interference with justice. Remember that in reality, the president cannot...

      I like Julia

      Just like the Nico I saw in Invasion, it was very different from the Julia in my impression. Maybe my impression of Julia was fixed in the Julia in the film "Never Compromise"
      , which made me understand For why she's one of those superstars, why she's called sexy, why so many people are obsessed with her, and now I'm hopelessly one of them,
      I love her lips, and high school A female classmate is very similar. In the first year of high school, the girl was sitting behind me. She was a...

      When you know there is a bomb hidden under the table

      I remember the suspense film master Hitchcock once said: "The difference between suspense movies and ordinary movies is that in ordinary movies, the audience does not know that there is a bomb hidden under the table, and then the bomb will suddenly explode; while in suspense movies, The audience knows that there is a bomb hidden under the table, and watching the watch on the bomb is counting down, but never know whether the bomb will explode until the last moment. Only in this way will the...

      When power drives you into the corner of death

      At this time, I can't help but release a review of this movie, because it reveals to us the darkness and bloodthirsty of power. Of course, this film review will definitely express my point of view. Those who agree can look up and think, and those who oppose it can lower their heads and get angry. It doesn't matter, because I want to say it. Back to the movie, this is a political thriller. The movie shows the erosion and destruction of the law in the United States when political power and...

      Media soul

      This movie is very old. After many years of being released, I saw this movie for the first time. Although it felt that the plot was a bit old-fashioned, it may be too much imitated by later generations. However, I still can't help but applaud the independent and free spirit of the media.
      Modern The most important cornerstone of society is the decentralized checks and balances of rights. Only a mechanism of mutual supervision can ensure the fair implementation of rights. In modern Western...

      The film of 1993, almost 20 years later, is still so wonderful, except for the editing is a bit messy. Men and women acted very well, firm, weak, helpless, decisive, fearful, every aspect is very vivid. Witness...

    Evaluation action

    "The Pelican Brief" is a relatively bloodless thriller, most of the violence is effectively conveyed off the screen. The heroine Roberts vividly interprets Debbie's initial confusion, followed by wit and firm determination. The supporting actors are equally meticulous, and there are good performances everywhere. Director Alan Jay Pakula put Grisham's book on the screen and once again returned to the theme of high-level conspiracy. To...
