It seems to be short of breath, very melancholy

What the director wants to say is very clear, so this should be a genre film, but it seems that the small orgasm is missing. We know that the turning point and the burst point are there, but when it turns and bursts, it becomes a stroke, only ripples. Splash

This should be a book tailor-made for Denzel Washington. It is basically his one-man show. Of course, he still plays well, but because I don’t remember the turning points and bursts, the close-up shots always feel blurry, so you It’s a pity that I can’t pull out a particularly deep interpretation segment;

The central idea of ​​the film is particularly suitable for contemporary times. It is rare that the director is willing to explore the compromise between reality and ideal without too many eye-catching elements, self-reconciliation and redemption, temporary loss and final return. I hope this theme will be sublimated through the film. For a moment, the director threw the subject out, but stopped abruptly without giving more inspiration.

Idealists insist on really hard work, as long as a little compromise will be pierced by the radiant light of reality; a lifetime of integrity and justice will be even harder, if you touch a red line, step on a forbidden zone, you will continue to be inspired by God. Suffering from all sorts of torments, wanting to come back and even catching up with it, the opportunity cost is much higher than the opportunity cost of having to fix it for a lifetime.

In fact, I have the same feeling when I watch "Fang Hua" recently, it can obviously be more outstanding.

    The director didn't even know what he wanted to say. The idealistic social barrier of the male protagonist had not yet had time to significantly expand after breaking out of his own moral constraints. He quickly retracted back to his original state, and continued to babble to the people around him... The elite Jon Lin is so handsome. My favorite in the whole film is Mr. Roman's iPod, and the songs are very appetizing.

    A wrong step, a wrong step, a very sad story. It goes without saying that Denzel Washington's performance is very special, Colin Farrell's performance is very special, and the calm old man's temperament is somewhat surprising.
