As a thick-lips family, I have been full of admiration and empathy for African Americans since I was a child, even though this is the female version of fan love [Meigang City Story] (To Kill a Mockingbird, 1962) ), fight! Black brothers.
2. When
Jessica Chastain came out, everyone said that she was like Bryce Dallas Howard. Now two actresses with both beauty and acting skills get together, but Jessica Chastain explodes Bryce Dallas Howard. Both are red-haired girls, the former is better objectively, while the latter is arrogant and panting in bright blue high-waisted trousers, objectively speaking, it can arouse the author’s desire to conquer ♥♥♥
3.
Woody Allen In the surreal masterpiece [Midnight in Paris] (Midnight in Paris, 2011) even using the phrase "the help", Owen Wilson’s father-in-law accused him of always speaking for the poor as the Communist Party. "You always take the side of the help. That's why Daddy says you're a communist."

    All those women! Amazing grace

    The film is adapted from a best-selling novel, but perhaps it is too impetuous, and the original work has always prevented me from deepening and loving it; but this film, which won the North American box office for three consecutive weeks and is also a hot Oscar next year, made me very easy to accept. The form of the movie makes each character plump and three-dimensional, and the smooth and smooth narrative style can still make people feel moving. It's a pity that Emma Stone is too mediocre...★★★★
