I have a plan, but not a clue.

Fortunately, I hadn't watched the Odyssey before watching this movie, so I was able to have a super perfect two hours without paying attention to the lustful rain outside the window. George Clooney took John Turturro (tooth buddy on the right, familiar?) to bring the Coen brothers' wild black genius to the fullest. On the other hand, "Burn After Reading" filmed by the Coen brothers last year, although it has the same director and even a stronger cast (Clony + Brad Pitt), it pales in comparison with the "Three Kings of Prison Break", and this film is nothing short of it. Called the masterpiece of the black humor of the Coen brothers.

The various adventures of the three brothers on the way to escape and the magnificent scenery of the Great Plains in the middle of the United States swept away my inexplicable depression after watching "Old Nowhere". As recommended by many film reviews, the OST of this film is absolutely superior. The rustic folk songs of the 1930s not only complemented the bright sunshine of the large farms in the southern United States, but also closely matched the plot.

It is said that there are many metaphors and imitations of "Odyssey" in the plot, which is a pity for us Chinese fans. This is also a blind spot that Hollywood movies cannot eliminate in China. After all, high-level movies have to involve Western cultural background, and those of us don't necessarily appreciate the brilliance of directors and scripts. Therefore, I hope that China's film industry will develop sooner. Perhaps when people like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige who rely on scenes and celebrities to make money at the box office are laid off to go to the party, it can be said that the Chinese movie is dawn.

As for the editor's useless Zhang Jizhong, my suggestion is that after you toss Jin Yongqiongyao and Cao Xueqin, you can only toss Shakespeare. Maybe you can get half of the prize, haha.

    Laugh die! The music is invincible, and I heard the original song of o death~ It’s really unique~ One star is too strong in an actor's personal style, it is impossible to substitute it into the role of prisoner escaped, just one mouth feels Bad acting...

    I always thought that No Country for Old Men was the pinnacle of westerns in recent years, but after watching the three heroes of Prison Break, I really wanted to ask why such a perfect movie didn't win an Oscar, maybe this aesthetic system is not authentic American original flavor. Although this kind of film has a perfect ending, the ups and downs are the domineering king, and it is ten thousand times stronger than a single-line story. In fact, this kind of story often appears in classic novels, which is exactly what I like about classics.
