Paul Thomas Anderson looked so sophisticated when he was less than 40 years old. It is indeed amazing. The control of the rhythm makes people vaguely see the godfather, the master of the past in the United States. In fact, I didn’t know who PTA was before watching this film. After watching it, I found out who he is sacred. After checking, it was discovered that a magnolia flower (not Hua Mulan was used as an illusion) nearly 10 years ago. After many years) I got the Berlin Golden Bear.

Like the assassination of the sharpshooter, after a relatively dull 2 ​​hours, the climax was left to the end. The final confrontation between the two is undoubtedly the most exciting part of the film, and it also brought DDL's acting skills into play. Some people analyze that the last paragraph is just the conjecture of old Henry. From the emotional point of view, it is not completely unreasonable. It is very different from the calm and restrained emotions before the film. The ending scene also has some surreal meanings. This stopped abruptly. The ending coincides with Lao Wu Shi. I personally don’t tend to read this way, just because I don’t want to see old Henry being so sad in the end (could it be that Aiwu and Wu also fell in love with this character?), but it doesn’t really matter whether it’s true or not, whether it’s True or false, this paragraph has shaped the characters of the two people very richly (500 words of accusation on the sordid history of capitalists and hypocritical religion are omitted here). In addition, because the aura of DDL is so dazzling, many people ignore the other characters in the play. The performance of the priest is also very wonderful. The hysterical devotion is no less than DDL. I think no one is wrong after watching this. Actors with very ordinary appearances are impressive.
