Cogito ergo sum

Catherine is so fucking good-looking and nice. Good enough for men to endure this whole bad scene.

I haven't seen many movies of the Coen brothers. I just remember that the old has no place to rely on, like the cold and delicate old no one to rely on in a river flowing in the severe cold.

But this one, ah. Consciously interesting stories, blunt emotions, instant noodles, but a seafood feast-like turning point. This is not a movie, this is a sitcom, an embarrassing sitcom.

However, it can be seen that the director's film frame is not bad, and everything that the story should have is reflected.

Oh wait, this scene feels like a bad product of "old movie technique + new movie technique".

But it's still a bad show.

    Where does the heroine get the money to pretend to be married to an oil rich man. The IQ in the second half of the movie takes a nosedive.
