      Let's write a little, and the last sentence is summarized: Food is tasteless, but it is a pity to discard it!

      Let me start by saying that when the starring saw the cover, he thought it was the comedy Jonah Hill, Dragon Tigers, The Wolf of Wall Street. There is nothing wrong with being funny all the time. In James Franco's impression, he is a handsome little fresh meat. The combination of these two people just looks at the cover design, which is a bit expectant, but it is also rushed to see the two leading actors. The following

      is the real title. After watching this film, I feel that it is...

      "True Story" tells a story about "True"

      The movie tells a true story. "True" means that you can't talk nonsense, and you can't make up the plot for the sake of making it exciting. Therefore, blaming the film’s ineffective plot is to destroy the foundation of the film’s narrative from an aesthetic point of view. Ironically, what this film criticizes is the act of "reconstructing facts in order to attract people." The film does its best to make the audience's aesthetic consciousness no longer stay at the initial stage of the...

      Truth

      Hmm~ After reading the following is my personal experience of watching the movie: The
      criminal Chirs had a plan from the beginning. He did not choose him because of his pure admiration for Mike’s literary talent, but through Mike’s article (especially the one in Africa The article led to Mike's resignation. Later, Mike also admitted that he had lied in some ways.) It made him realize Mike's weakness, that is, Mike wants a story that appeals to everyone, "a head of story" said. Right, so...

      Real or not, who cares...

      At the beginning of the story, Mike, the fat and almost faceless protagonist, watched it for a long time before adapting... the director was too talented. The murderer Longo looked very rich and handsome. He looked quite righteous and made the plot more confusing.
      So one is a New York Times reporter, and the other is a murderer who killed the whole family. How are they connected? ! In fact, all of this comes from a professional journalist's curiosity, thorough inquiries, determination to...

      TRUE STORY impression

      When I saw Chris’ hesitation for the first time, I thought it was another reversal scenario. I saw the fool in his paintings, but I hoped that it was a liar who manipulated the court because he was considered to be acting. The following mantra movie finally explained Chris' confession in the form of a fact. However, he was not responsible for the deaths of whoever died, so it surfaced. In fact, regardless of whether he finally confessed or not, the fact has been lost. What Mike finally lost is...

    • By Tatum 2023-08-30 10:32:55

      In fact, Fu Lanlan's acting was pretty good, at least he lied to me, and Hill was quite good too; I don't think it's the actors jumping in the scene, but the editing and the director's failure to grasp the overall sense of suspense, which makes the film boring and prosecuting. The appearance of the official and the blond girl is simply inexplicable, and then you will find that there is no problem with removing the female supporting...

    Movie quotes

    • Michael Finkel: I'm a liar? You stole my identity!

      Christian Longo: I was in Mexico, who else was I supposed to choose?

    • Christian Longo: I haven't seen a woman in so long... looking at you is like seeing the ocean.

      Jill Barker: I'm more of a pond, I think.

    • Jill Barker: [In the prison visiting room, talking to Christian Longo] Can I play you something?

      [Jill reaches for her iPhone, presses play and beautiful music is heard]

      Jill Barker: Se La Mia Morte Brami. If You Crave My Death. Carlo Gesualdo wrote it in 1611. A few years after killing his wife and newborn son. His wife had a lover so he tracked them down with a hunting knife. He stabbed her many, many times all over her body, and as she was bleeding to death on the floor, he forced the lover to strip her naked, put on her bloody nightdress and humiliate himself, before shooting him in the head. Then he went upstairs and beat his infant son to death against the side of his crib. The music is almost beautiful enough to make me forget I am listening to something written by a man who broke his baby's skull on a piece of furniture... but not quite.

      [Jill stops the music]

      Jill Barker: You see Mike wants to try and understand you. I think he believes that if he can understand you then maybe he can understand himself, but I don't wanna understand you at all. You're a murderer. You kill women and children. You're a narcissist who resents every single second of attention not given to you. I'm here to tell you that whatever else is coming to you, you will never ever escape what you are.
