Human blemish

Sometimes, you don’t need a reason to like a movie. Everything is right when it feels right.

Earphones, backpacks, sleeveless sweatshirts and shorts. When Matthew McConaughey was riding on the road car in the sunshine, talking with the beauty in the car next to him, the voice of Unwritten Law erupted like this. "you can't save me, you can't change me, well, i'm waiting for my wake-up call, and everything, everything is my fault."

Maybe, I originally liked this kind of "mentor and apprentice" ( Mentor/Protégé) theme film.

Director Google, it turned out to be Caruso who directed [Over There]. I like the TV series about the (US Army) infantry in Iraq. Touching, especially the plot, rhythm and music. The visual impression left by people is particularly deep.

By the way, this Two Men for the Money is a typical movie that is popular but not popular with film critics. I have to admit that the details of the game gambling in the film have been rushed through, and it will inevitably give people a perfunctory feeling. As for Lang (McConaughey pronounced mih-KAH-nuh-hay, it’s hard to translate the name) modified by Marshall McConnell, it’s a bit of a surprise that he can’t even say “F”. So it seems that Mr. Pacino needs to read the script before taking the play. Otherwise, such a movie would hurt the hearts of many die-hard movie fans.

Good film critics, or picky moviegoers, are always obsessed with the characters, relationships, and some technical parameters of the film, just like computer players are assiduously demanding of hardware. It's hard to say that they do not make sense, but for fans like us, what they care most about is the feelings that these 100 minutes give us. For me, the movie is like going to a restaurant. Sichuan cuisine, mutton soup, steak, and local cuisine have their own flavors. Sometimes, potato chips and cola can also fill your stomach.
