      The Ghost of You Were Never Here

      The Ghost of You Were Never Really Here

      In the first ten minutes, I didn't know what the male protagonist Joey (Joaquin Phoenix) was doing. The impression was that it was a gloomy thing that could not see the sun. It wasn't until after his long journey home that he learned that he was a killer who had yet to start a family, living with his old mother.

      From retired soldier to professional killer

      Rescue Loli with a violent uncle

      The details of the series are very commendable!

      Maybe you'd say it was him for his daughter

      In fact, more shows his courage and responsibility

      The blood-stained axe, the picture of the burning girl, the head of the person who is breathing and breathing in a plastic bag, and the messy image of the rapid jumping, set the tone for the moody and restless style. Yazu (Joaquin Phoenix) turned...

      Calling the emperor Cannes, this killer is not too cold

      Originally published on WeChat Official Account: Watching Movies and Seeing Death

      "You've Never Been Here" brings together almost all the elements of an iron-blooded tender killer genre: a middle-aged killer with a dark past, a weak subject to protect, a dark and powerful opponent group, and Lots and lots of deaths. The plot setting of this film has no suspense or so many reversals. Simply put, it is like a combination of "Taxi Driver" and "Hurricane Rescue". But it unexpectedly...

      Psycho was mentioned at the beginning. Oedipus is also in love. People are dark. I was a little confused, mainly because it felt that Joaquin seemed to have died at a certain point in the plot, and he didn't need to appear in the rest of the story except the funeral mother. This is probably what the director wants us to...

      The chaotic, violent atmosphere infects every character in the film almost aggressively under the director's super control. The use of white space maintains the tension and mystery of the film. The delicate portrayal of the mother-son relationship makes up for the shaping of the killer's character. Joaquin Phoenix definitely lives up to his name this time...

    "You Were Never Really Here" is a bloody and poetic movie. A story that seems exciting enough, there are fascinating things, and there are places that make people shudder. But unfortunately, there is only a mediocre rude temperament left in this film, and a little bit of stupidity.
    This film belongs to the kind of work that can only be truly understood by the audience watching it twice. The film seems to be a tribute to Martin Scorsese...
