Candle

I like this movie very much. Of course I hate this story. I have watched "Old Boy" directed by Park Chan-wook. Choi Min-sik’s performance is like a stroke and mental illness, and then the boss is sick and perverted again, giving people a sticky slug feeling. .

I like this movie because I like Josh Brolin very recently. In this movie, I like his temperament very much. His sincere, wild maturity and heavy male power have a strong and deep green fragility. . I like him very much.

Elizabeth Olsen, I like her performance very much, her frowns and smiles are so delicious, sweet and sour. She is like a candle that brings light in the night, soft and warm.

Then there is this stupid script. I suspect that the daughter is fake, and the daughter is a support. Otherwise, how could it be so in line with the boss's design line?

    A few streets worse than the original

    Just finished watching the original and took a look at this one. In contrast, the original version is much more obscure, but this one is really simple (presumably due to differences between the East and the West). But neither of them is my thing (the original version is too obscure and suggestive and the style caused by the comic adaptation; I can only laugh at this script).
