      It's both a rebellion and it could be a dream

      Chasing ideals and wanting to change the world's stereotypes about certain things, but in fact, the result of rebellion may also be to return to oneself, "I wanted to change the world, but was changed by the world", and this result is not good, Not bad either. After the moth fluttered into the fire, there was only a gorgeous dream left. Those who remember will always remember, those who disdain will still disdain.

      Therefore, the original intention of the change is due to...

      Before Tumbling Down

      The first time I knew this movie was because of its unique name, coupled with the three-dimensional facial features of the blonde Brain on the poster, the deep eye sockets, the contrast between the black background and the colorful fonts. Never seen such a work. I learned that there is also a translation of "Purple Drunken Gold", and I feel that it is like the free translation of "Gone with the Wind" to "Gone with the Wind". It is indeed unique to be crowned with this...

      Where are you looking, I can't find it anywhere

      Does anyone hear me, I really want a resource, thank you Bodhisattva beauties and handsome guys

      Why do movie reviews still require word count, but I just want to ask for a resource, how can I make up 140 words?

      Wouldn't it be bad, but I really want to see it

      The number of words is so hard to put together, I can't write it

      Families ask for a resource, ask for a resource

      belly like velvet,

      I felt emptiness after seeing it half of the time. After watching the whole game, I didn't think of train guessing at all. Anyway, I always thought about natural born killers. Nothingness and nothingness, bran is finally getting old and feels like the crying female supporting actress, looking at him gorgeous and nothing.

      The number of words is too small to post, well, I recorded it for the second time, which is a bit rushed from the book reviews of the year....

      Velvet Gold Mine

      It seems to have a confused dream, dreaming back to the rock era, full of rock music lingering in the ears, vague love of ice and fire, the pursuit of rock seems to be integrated into their souls, a vigorous story, they are uninhibited and disregard the opinions of others. The soundtrack of this movie hardly stops switching from the beginning to the end, and I kept searching for songs with my mobile phone while watching the movie. Unconsciously attracted by rock and roll,...

      A song of the era of visual rock, it is estimated that many people go for the beauty of Ivan and Xiao Qiao. The story is messy, Bell's line doesn't tell anything at all, waste. Songs are not my thing, even though there are many handsome guys, they are still not my...

      I always knew that Ivan's children's shoes can be very charming, but I didn't expect that Jonathan could be so coquettish. The result of watching the film in the reverse order~~~~ Glam rock really has a peculiar magic, I miss queen so much, now glam rock is no longer brilliant Can't get...

      As a gangster, the glam rock of the early '70s was decidedly too soft. Ignore the gimmicks of so-called documentaries and only focus on music, music from the 60s and 70s is not my thing at all. What else is fashion? It's a group of people following the breakout, waiting for the next fad to break it (so fads are often very cheap and...

      Exactly the same structure as Citizen Kane, but with a more complex editing that shuttles between reality and virtuality ~ Gorgeous colors record many things other than music in that rock and roll era ~ Same-sex content and two eye-catching protagonists are very attractive to rotten girls...

      McGregor can still act like this! It's a timeless orgy of Bowie, Eno, Cobain, Iggy Pop, Oscar Wilder, Lou...

    Movie quotes

    • Mandy: Now, just because someone sees, you know, two naked people asleep in bed together, it doesn't necessarily prove sex was involved. It does, however, make for a very strong case.

    • Mandy: You live in terror of not being misunderstood.

    • Curt Wild: The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.
