The good and the bad

I like this film very, very much. Since watching WES ANDERSON's ROYAL FAMILY, it is the first time I have found a film with such a similar temperament. The first scene at the beginning of the film established the family relationship of the whole film. The younger son and mother stood on the same front, while the eldest son and father stood on the same front. From the way he played, it could be seen that Dad had always been a very aggressive man, somewhat macho. Even if it hurts Joan, it doesn't...

The upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked

At the beginning of the film is the scene of a family playing football, the father and the elder brother are in one group, and the mother and the younger brother are in the group. My father and my brother showed no mercy to my mother when they played football, and made my mother angry many times. In fact, it was the way my father always treated my mother in the past.
My brother asked my father for his opinion at the reading club. After my father criticized my brother’s book, my mother said...

gentle resistance

The principle of not watching bad movies will be implemented in my entire film watching career, even if those bad movies have my destiny.

Jesse's early films (before social networking here) seem to be the only one with a rating above 7 (perhaps adding the boy who won't leave), so I thought it would be a good one - and it is! I originally watched the introduction of the film as a bland family drama, until the "squid and whale" metaphor completely caught my interest. The origin of the...

Squids and whales - life as it is

After thinking about it for a long time, the actor of my brother turned out to be Zuckerberg of "The Social Network". I like the folk music of the 60s and 70s in the film. I didn't think it was shooting with a hand-held camera, so I thought it was a bit of a street scene shooting. A picture of American humanistic landscape in a microcosm of an intellectual family. What does the scene of the squid and whale at the end of the film mean? I believe it's that view of people and life, but it doesn't...

After watching the movie, you will want to see the scene of the real giant squid and whale fighting on the Discovery Channel. The film is very humorous, and the divorced old man is so helpless. Thought the movie could give some more obvious clues as to why the husband was in that situation at the end. In any case, I can't accept that wife's behavior, although I know that in a free and equal American society, men can seek extra-marital stimulation, and women have no less opportunities than...

No resistance to American family soap operas. But the 68 minutes and 41 seconds of the lens connection error is too...

Both parents are writers, and the two bear children take turns to be used seven days a week after separation. Big Bear Curly said that Pink Floyd's tunes are more like they wrote them. The little bear kid spends all day in the library rubbing against the bookshelf under his crotch, then soiling the books and...
