      My tail ring is engraved with your name

      One hundred years after you were born, I am late

      The plane is destroyed, the rose is broken

      The Bay of Biscay is full of tears

      I went to the fossil forest to find you

      you're smoking a pipe

      smiling like a child

      Two tail rings, two elegant

      I take off my tail ring and show you

      engraved your name

      don't wander anymore

      Please take me with you

      I bought a lot of poems

      read to you one by one

      not a gangster

      In the past, "Watching Movies" included this in the list of Warner Gang movies recommended. Strictly speaking, this is not a gangster film, but it can be recommended as a social theme, a psychological theme or a romantic movie. At first glance, the background of the title shows that it is a studio effect, which is clumsy and reminiscent of the Shaw Brothers studio. The male protagonist should represent a kind of doctrine. I can't say what this doctrine is. It is worth studying. In the plot in...

      Fossil Forest Fang Hanjun

      More than ten years ago, listening to new element music such as "The Great Smoky Mountains" and "The Grand Canyon", I couldn't help but imagine a common scene: quiet night, bright moon in the sky, clear phantoms, boundless deserts and barren hills. The long and steep canyon, the suffocating stone forest. Several wild wolves howled in the air. The boundless loneliness of the earth coincides with the eternal insignificance of human beings.

      "Fossil Forest"

      The first half of the film is completely a wonderful romantic drama. A displaced writer meets a girl who is unwilling to live in the desert. It is smooth and natural; with the intervention of Humphrey Bogart's kidnappers, the film enters another In the stage, although there are tense conflict plots, it is surprising that many characters actually discuss the social issues of men and women and the consciousness of women. Fortunately, the film finally pulls back to the theme of love....

      Leslie Howard and his

      Just simply wanted to use the actor Leslie Howard. Leslie Howard was born on April 3, 1893 in London, England, to a Hungarian father and an English mother. He is probably best known for his role as Ashley Wilkes in Gone with the Wind. In 1943, his plane was shot down in the Bay of Biscay by Germans as Churchill's plane, and the remains of him and his wife are unknown. It was later revealed that the popular movie star was a British spy who persuaded General Franco to prevent Spain from...

      In the end, it was adapted from a stage play, and the dialogue is poetic, and at the last moment, it will be romantic for a while. Leslie Howard had a good deal with Humphrey Bogart, and Leslie Howard almost resigned in order to get Bogart to play Duke Mantee....

      It heralded the decline of a "male modern" society where all men were sick, old, pessimists, criminals, castrated rugby players. The finishing touch is Bogart's desperate physical performance, a machine-like decline. Only women are the last hope. Although the present world will eventually become a fossil, the future will also draw nutrients from it. more like a modernist...

    • Mrs. Chisholm: I was married to this pillar of the mortgage loan and trust. He took my soul and stenciled it on a card and filed. And that's where I've been ever since, in an odd metal cabinet.

    • Alan Squier: You've got to die. Then die for freedom. That's worth it. Don't give up your life for anything so cheap as revenge.

    • Alan Squier: l've never kidded anybody, outside of myself.
