      good movie

      Although this movie is a romance, it can be shot like this! It's a bit suspenseful, so that the audience won't just see the beauty of the protagonist, but it's the plot that attracts them more.
      It turned out to be like this! I was confused at first. I knew what the screenwriter was trying to say, but the more I read it, the more I felt, but I didn't know if it was right, and then I realized that this was a story of a secret love. And it also made people know that the pain of lovesickness...

      Unique shooting techniques save ordinary trivia

      Mystery Apartment, also known as Wicker Park. It's actually a very simple romance. The second woman fell in love with the first man, so she deliberately made a stumbling block, causing the two to misunderstand and separate.
      The story is mundane: Matthew (Josh Hartnett) returns to Chicago, and at a meeting before going to China, he finds the trace of Lisa, a woman he didn't know whereabouts two years ago, but he loves, so he temporarily delays going abroad to find Lisa. . The story is very...

      The treasure in the romance movie, why is the rating so low? Because the director and actor are not famous? Or is it because of insufficient publicity?

      The film's narrative technique is very high, using various memories, so it is a bit confusing in understanding. But very deep. The two-year-long love separation between the protagonists finally still has a lover who finally gets married. The love between them is still so deep in the past two years. They can't see each other for a long time. The most uncomfortable thing is the missed one. Pity and regret. And it's no coincidence, it's what ALEX does in it, she's breaking up the couple on...

      How to get along with the opposite sex you admire and make him notice you

      After watching this movie, I always feel that this happy ending is not real at all, and after watching it, I always feel suffocated. Alex's fiery love is exchanged for a third party who destroys other people's feelings, while the beautiful and moving stunner Lisa has gained unparalleled love in the dark. Is this the so-called fate? What an irony. The most embarrassing thing is that a man whom he loves so much loves his best friend, a beautiful and moving best friend.
         Could it be that...

      sad tears

      Alex is unmistakably selfish, knowing that Matthew and Lisa love each other deeply, but he is willing to break them up. Alex's behavior can be said to be very immoral, but what is sensible for people who are carried away by love? He was the only one in his mind, everything was to get her, the fanatical emotions were the same as when Matthew met Lisa for the first time, but it was a pity that Matthew didn't know about it at all, and Alex was a step late, and when he slipped, he hated him for...

      I cry, it's a pity that the original version has been hidden for so long, but I read the reprint first. But the story is really good, the structure and narrative technique are great. The soundtrack is also quite popular, and the whole is easy to accept. The female protagonist is bleak, especially in the early emotional scenes, or she is actually the second female lead. The idol drama temperament of the male protagonist is very suitable for this role. Overall, the best place to watch is not the...

      How to turn a literary, erotic, and thrilling French film into a pure dog-blood Hollywood drama, please see this film. How could you possibly compare to Monica and Vincent! !...

      The only scene I like is the first time we met in a shoe store, and I thought I was rejected, but found that there was a date on the shoe box, haha, great. Think about the lingering entanglement with the last airport like this, what a wonderful...

    Controversy starring

    The first actor to be appointed by the director and producer as the leading actor was Brendan James Fraser, who became famous for his starring roles in " Tarzan of the Apes " and "The Return of the Mummy " . However, because it is difficult for both parties to reach a compromise on the issue of the film's remuneration-Fisher offered a price of 10 million US dollars, and the entire budget of the film was only 30 million US dollars....

    Evaluation action

    The film is a rearrangement of the English version of the 1996 French thriller "The Apartment". As the film critics expected, this remake used beautiful actors to cover up the mediocrity of the film. Because the film omits too many story plots in the original works, the audience feels very obscure and difficult to understand when watching the movie. In fact, the more the director and screenwriter tried to make the audience better...

      Luke: Who is this?

      Lisa: Um, this is Lisa? I'm a friend of his. I'm calling about my compact. I think he might have found it.

      Luke: Uh, which Lisa is this?

      Lisa: Pardon me?

      Luke: [Luke grabs his head at how dumb of a question that sounded] Uh, I'll tell you what. He's actually supposed to be here in a couple of minutes.

      Matthew: [At the same time, the camera goes to Alex calling Matthew so that he doesn't leave to go to Luke's home] Hello?

      Alex: Are you mad?

      Matthew: No. Not at all. I had a great time. Where are you?

      Alex: Well, I'm still at work but, um, I'm just leaving now, so why don't you wait?

      Matthew: Yeah, I'll wait.

      Alex: Okay, great. I'll see you soon.

      [Matthew hangs up knowing something is strangely wrong]

      Luke: [the camera goes back to Luke and Lisa on the phone] Let me, uh... Let me grab your phone number, and I will have him call you when he gets in.

      Lisa: Um, you know, actually, could you just tell him to meet me at 3:00? He'd know where. Um, I'll be waiting for him.

      Luke: 3:00. Okay.

      [someone knocks at Luke's front door]

      Luke: You know what, it can't be him already, but I'm expecting him. And someone's at my front door, so maybe it is him. So hold on one second.

      [Lisa has a flashback of the last time she saw Matthew and when he asked her to move in with him]

      Luke: Yeah, I'm sorry. It wasn't him, it was someone else. But I promise I will give him your message. Okay?

      Lisa: Oh. Okay. Thank you.

      [Lisa hangs up praying with tears in her eyes that she hasn't lost Matthew entirely]

    • [Alex arrives home to the apartment to find Matthew who awaits with a present for her]

      [both have a nervous blank expression before putting on a smile and sayng hi to each other]

      Matthew: [smiles] Hey.

      Matthew: [smiles] Hey. How are you, Lisa?

      Alex: Good. How are you?

      Matthew: Good.

      Alex: I thought you'd be in China by now.

      Matthew: That makes two of us. Sit down.

      [Alex sits on the couch beside Matthew noticing a box between them]

      Alex: What's that?

      Matthew: It's a present.

      Alex: For me?

      Matthew: Yeah. I saw that yours were... Yours were broken, so... Uh, wanna try them on?

      Alex: That's very sweet. You didn't have to do that.

      Matthew: Uh, that's okay.

      [Alex takes off her boot and Matthew slips on the black shoe with the red sole, the exact same size that would fit Lisa's foot]

      Matthew: They're a little big. What size shoe do you wear?

      Alex: Seven.

      Matthew: These are 8 and a half.

      Alex: I would've told you what size I wear if I knew you were gonna get me shoes.

      Matthew: It's okay. I could exchange them.

      Alex: You don't have to do that. I...

      Matthew: Anyway, I told a friend of mine I would meet him for coffee before I left, so...

      [Matthew makes his way to the front door of the apartment]

      Matthew: Yeah. Bye.

      [Matthew then leaves]

    • [Matthew, Luke, and Alex finally sit together for the first time]

      Luke: So what happened with your psycho?

      [there's a pause]

      Luke: Oh, you can say it in front of Alex. She knows the whole story anyway.

      Matthew: Sometimes when you see someone from afar you develop a fantasy. Then when you see them up close, nine times out of ten, you wish you hadn't.

      Luke: [Luke smiles] I have no idea what you're talking about.

      Matthew: I was confused, so I went back to her apartment, and I thought I'd find what I was looking for, but I found something else.

      Luke: Did you talk to her?

      Matthew: Just long enough for her to convince to me that she's a liar.
