      Little Plum's Rebellion

      I just watched this film, and it gives people a depressing atmosphere in general. It may be that the film involves divorce, rebellion, domestic violence and other related complexes. Dwight, a man who doesn't want to make progress, in the film, under Dwight's love offensive and a woman's sense of drifting through constant changes, the marriage is made overnight, and the contradiction is buried. Young Xiao Li is a 19-year-old rebellious teenager , I think the film is more of a true character,...

      Freedom, ideals and love; and everything that youth brings us

      When someone says to you "Your courage is far greater than your common sense", smile and go your own way. Youth movies, inspirational movies and even fairy tales. This movie is the best in any genre. This film is adapted from a true story about freedom, ideals and love, and everything that youth brings to us. According to the acting skills of this film, it seems that Leonardo is destined to become a superstar since he was a child.

      We wasted too much of our youth. It was a time of...
