Can't smile without you

There are three famous directors in Mexico, Alfonso Cuarón, Gilmo del Toro and Gonzalez, who are known as the three best in Mexico. In recent years, their performance has been particularly outstanding. "Gravity" directed by Alfonso Cuarón won 7 Oscars at the 86th Annual Academy Awards, winning both fame and fortune. If the movie is released in China in the future, Cameron will no longer be used to promote it. People who don't know the truth think it was Cameron. Gilmour Del Toro has been making black cult films, and he has a lot of imagination, especially the design of monsters. Last year, the film "Pacific Rim" fulfilled the fantasies of many otakus, and it ignited nearly 700 million yuan in the domestic box office. Although Gonzalez has no outstanding works recently, his films such as "21 grams" and "Love is a bitch" are all unique.

The three of them are now basically swallowed by Hollywood. Everyone sees their works in the consciousness of mainstream Hollywood commercial films, and no one thinks that it has anything to do with Mexico. Whenever I see the unnatural border between Mexico and the United States on the world map, I feel the deep tragedy of Mexico. The tragedy of Mexico is that it is too far from heaven and too close to the United States. Recommend a Mexican science fiction film "Sleep Dealer", you can see their views on the United States.

Back to this film, the second part of the Hellboy series. Overall it looks better than the previous one, especially in terms of visual effects. At first glance, those looks are a bit scary, but when you look at them, they will feel very cute again.

Some of the stories set in the film are not new if viewed individually, but the emotions of these monsters, plus some setting of scenes and music, appear to be flesh and blood. When the green plants were released, Prince Crossbow Ada said: "This is the last species in the world. Are you sure you want to kill it at the orders of others?" Things in this world are not either good or bad. Every life has its meaning. Finally, after the green creature died, what was left was a comfortable green, which was amazing. Destroying the city is not its intention, but its instinct.

On the narrative clue of feelings, the flame girl and hellboy didn't touch me very much, but the murloc and the princess were quite well portrayed. From the first glance the murloc saw the princess, from his eyes, I saw the moment of love at that moment, so everything about the murloc became melancholy.

Barry Manilow's old song "can't smile without you" directly pushed their emotions to a climax.

I can't cry, can't express my feelings.

But you know, I can't smile without you.
