That's why a madman is so focused on doing one thing

I didn't do any homework before watching the movie.

The legend of the story has been skipped, there should be a lot of fictional elements, but it's okay, it seems that I can accept it.

Facial blindness, I didn't recognize Mel Gibson in the end! Although it always felt familiar. And Sean Penn doesn't think he looks like anyone at all!

I thought it was filmed in the UK, but it turned out to be an Irish film. British biopics have many hooks, brilliant characters, strong drama, and people can't stop, whether it is "Darkest Hour", "The Imitation Game", "The Theory of Everything", "The King's Speech", it is the same, perfect Skill.

Japan filmed the "Bai Zhou Ji", and South Korea filmed the "Dictionary". China has said that it will shoot "Xinhua Dictionary", but there is still no movement. It is better to shoot "Shuowen Jiezi", "Kangxi Dictionary", "Zhonghua Dictionary" or "Siku Quanshu" and "Yongle Dadian".

    The old people love to watch old things about old people, and I'm really happy to watch another good movie based on real history and real things. The "Professor and the Madman" tells the strange events during the compilation of the "Oxford English Dictionary" more than a hundred years ago. It is played by two veterans Mel Gibson and Sean Penn, who are about 60 years old. It is artistic. Enjoyment is another extension of knowledge. It is said that the case data of the lunatic was sealed by the British government for a hundred years before being declassified; it was written as a novel and published in 1998, and it was popular all over the world; it was made into a movie last year, and the director was an Iranian-born rookie.

    In the original book, author Simon Winchester wrote: "On a cool, misty afternoon in the late autumn of 1896, in the small village of Crothorne in Berkshire, one of the most extraordinary events in the history of modern literature occurred. Ordinary conversation." He described the meeting as "folklore", which shows its secret and legend. One side of the meeting is a self-taught professor from humble backgrounds, the other is a madman with schizophrenia, two unrelated people who are connected by "words". The director seems to have no time to take into account the editing process of the most extensive dictionary in the English-speaking world, and pays more attention to the inner world of the two characters and their resilience in the midst of suffering. The professors and madmen, played by Mel Gibson and Sean Penn, exude charming charm, and the wrinkles in the vertical and horizontal ravines are full of light of wisdom, which has nothing to do with acting, and is a precious gift given by the years. PS Before the author was allowed to read these materials, they had been kept secret by the government for more than a hundred years, and after Gibson acquired the rights to adapt in 1999, it took two decades for the story to make it to the big screen.
