19.11.25 Pearl Shadow may really play a lot of scripts, this script really can't give me any surprises, even this film is really boring here. If you abandon the perspective of the traditional suspense film, and choose the immigration and political issues reflected in it, this film is really interesting, especially when Marta from Ecuador looks at the house below holding a cup from the upper floor. The upstart white family is really interesting.

Written at the end: 1. After the screening, Luyu mentioned a point that the props and reality were indistinguishable at the end of Lanson, which embodies the stupidity proposed by Harlan.

2. The reasoning in this case is not completely reality, and there are some unrealities. According to the ambush pen, there may be prequels and backqueries.

3. Tribute: A very weird old lady will appear in Agatha's novels. If there is a family, the relationship between the characters in the family will be very broken, and then the name of the detective will be very strange. Both of these films pay tribute.

4. Praised that Mr. Tao’s acting skills in the film are very comfortable; the suit of the former 007 is deliberately old and difficult to transform; the Spanish-speaking actors are in a difficult situation in Hollywood, and the heroine has caught up with a good time.

5. Reflecting contemporary American political characteristics, domestic audiences may not be very cold. PS After the screening, it is much more interesting than the film. If there is a chance in the future, I hope to stay close to Luyu's filming group. The demeanor and knowledge of her real person is much more interesting and rich than what you see on TV. Although the environment of the movie group is not very good.

    The high reputation in the early stage made me mistakenly think this is that Rian Johnson or Evans can still come up with decent works outside of Disney's evil big company model. In fact, there are too many familiar style patterns and bad jokes, as if they are building another. Theme park. A certain mentally retarded setting that is directly related to the trend of the plot, even Disney would not use it this way or repeatedly use it so many times. I played a trick on the concept of "suspense". It may be a little different on the surface, but the "information obtained by the detective" and the "information obtained by the audience" are deviated. The film narrative is convenient, but it affects the character of the detective. Set up. Finally, I understand that the high reputation may actually come from a clumsy analogy of reality. The most cinematic part may be the close-ups of various characters' faces.

    I got up early in the morning, washed my hair and went out to watch a movie hungry, and that's what happened? There has always been no way to become a fan of reasoning. The reason is that too many mystery novels and movies are compiled too "edited" and too "round". In order to allow all kinds of horses, conflicts, people of all colors, etc., to form a "closed loop" (self-justifying) within a limited period of time and space, so that the plot and clues are filled to overflowing, and the motive or the driving force of the plot is stubborn. (It is usually made up by a lot of weird coincidences); or the concept is the first, the result is reversed, and the process is forced, so that the loop cannot be closed in terms of actual logic. Look at how stupid these guys are, Samsung.
