Finally, I escaped from the showroom. Getting home an hour earlier, avoiding the stifling rush hour, and having a little respite and alone time.

Not to mention this damn damned class this semester, it's full to death, and the schedule is unprecedented. After a month, it's close to the limit of my physical strength. It's no exaggeration to say that I almost fell a few times. The good students chased after me and said, teacher, you lost weight and tell me how to lose weight. . .

So I have less time to come here and sigh with emotion. At night, I still try to make a movie every day, but I don't have time to write movie reviews. Friends say you can't do this, it will destroy your own creations.

In fact, this time I wanted to write it because I had been holding back the feeling of the movie last night. I was already playing the draft when I went to bed. Feng told me that it was a French movie. The tsunami scene that came made me call it a disaster movie, and then Damon appeared as a psychic. I sighed that it turned out to be a thriller. This movie has been stretching my stomach. The rhythm is slow and delicate. I waited for the three-part characters to meet in the film. I wanted to find a main line or a theme, but the climax of the plot never came. Finally, the three characters met in the UK, and I looked forward to the unfolding of their crossover story , the film came to an abrupt end. No wonder the name is "from now on", it turns out that the meeting is the end of the film.

The film is over, my stomach is still hanging there, waiting for the audience in my house to look at each other and look at the screen again, the screen is still the music and text at the end of the film. Yes yes, I said, this is a French film, just to tell the story, not like fast food in the United States in a hurry to fill the audience's stomach. When you think that some of the supporting characters in the film only appear as cutscenes, in fact, this is the key point. The film's "psychic", like any skill, is just a technical job, and Damon is trying to get rid of him and achieve normalcy by giving up his thriving medium career and finding a physical job on a construction site. From then on, there was only a trace of silent forbearance on his face in the days when he woke up early in the morning and got into the dark and sweated profusely.

A film about death and solace, involving psychics, the story consists of three threads that come together in London.

The first clue is a woman, French journalist Marie, who suffered a tsunami, escaped from death, and saw a vision after death; the second clue is a man, American worker George, who suffered from a disease when he was young, and obtained the Psychic abilities; the third clue is that a boy, Max, lives in London with his brother Jason and his alcoholic mother, and Max can't let go of his brother's death in a car accident.

Maybe I'm too anxious to wait for their encounter. In fact, in some segmented films, many characters have no intersection between them, but only exist as statements. What does the film want to tell us? The possibility of individual loneliness and kinship exist? When Damon's character George holds Mary's hand at the end of the credits, he sees only the other person for the first time in years (rather than a third person as a psychic), and it's so quiet and peaceful.

When I found out that the director of the film was Clint Eastwood, I lost my eyes. This is probably the last thing that surprised me in the film, this 80-year-old American cowboy! Actually deceived my eyes! At any rate, I am also considered to be someone who has watched a considerable number of French films! At this age, he still dedicates his truth to everyone year by year, such as "The Last Dream of the Covered Bridge", "Flying Tycoon", "Suspicious Clouds", "Million Baby", and "It Happens in People". . . He discussed the words of silence, loneliness, seriousness, and old age, which he did not escape. He deserves the Lifetime Achievement Award.

This article is just to vent my anger, and finally, to my beloved Matt Damon. He was still getting old, and he glimpsed some gray hair on his temples.

I wonder if the old guy Easter likes someone with such a look. It was Leonardo before, and now it's Damon, and the two of them are very similar~~snicker~~
