      If you only have confidence, it's better not to show it

      Sometimes it is very confusing, why am I not red yet?

      If it is popular, after watching a favorite movie, just write two words, it looks good, and there will be a lot of people rushing to say it is tasteful, touching, the best of the year, if you don’t watch it, it’s not Chinese, and you will miss it. Missed the world.

      Tsk tsk, if that's the case, do you have to catch up with Val (the heroine of the film) when he contracted the flight ticket for his daughter's grandson? Whoa...

      Digestion of plain water


      The plot of the movie "Don't have a hole in the sky" is not only interesting to describe it. In the more modern ending song with Brazilian drum beats, it shows a little bit of director's meaning.
      I can't help but think of Tao Yuanming's "mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light" and "beginning very narrow" and "suddenly open up" after that.
      The ending is probably the only shot of the protagonist zooming in, accompanied by her smile. It was also after Jessica...

      I'm no worse than anyone else (serious spoiler)

      This is my first time writing a movie review, so please advise!
      What I learned from it was the values ​​of self-esteem and equality. I am a college student. After watching this movie, I felt these two consciousnesses the most.
      Movie characters: This is a relatively wealthy family. The hostess, Barbara, may be a more fashionable person, but does not make much money. The host is Carlos, who has inherited the property of the previous generation. Now all household expenses are food His...

      Live the life you want to live with your own hands

      Val has worked as a nanny in Barbara’s house for 13 years. She has a very good relationship with Fabinuo, the son of the owner who brought up her husband. Her smart and beautiful daughter has to live with her mother for a period of time because of the college entrance examination. Education and basic courtesy are in sharp contrast with the mother’s dedication and diligence. The entire film depicts the conflicts and contradictions of the ordinary family very delicately. Although the...

      Unlock the shackles and dance

      I have always liked this kind of movies that "gentlely" show conflicts. Family affection, class, employment relationship, conflict of ideas between older and younger generations, self and upbringing are all presented in a peaceful and interesting way.

      In the film, Var plays with the black and white coffee cup three times. For the first time, Val thanked the hostess for letting her daughter live at home and carefully selected this set of coffee cups as a gift for her. After the hostess...

      Daughter: "I don't know where you learned those rules, what can and cannot be done, is there a manual? Why? Who taught you? What did they teach you when you got here?" Mother: " No one told me this, we (this class) should be born to know what to do and what not to do, you feel like an alien." Daughter: "Who was born to know...

      Typical intergenerational relationship problems. The mother, who has been a nanny for more than ten years, can be as close as a family to her master, but she is still a nanny. It is easier for older daughters to integrate with the wealthy. Feelings are soaked in the villa pool. The female lead looks average, but really...

      The daughter is immature, but this is not an excuse for her to be rude and steal. On the contrary, her mother is just a kind, honest and somewhat dull person. The problem between the two is that they have been unable to communicate for many years. Think about how indifferent they would become if they did not communicate with each other. But I didn't think the director filmed this part....
