This screenwriter is either a genius or a seasoned veteran

I liked this movie very much, I liked it very much, I watched it twice in one go and I still have a lot of aftertastes----you must know how busy I was during that time, and how stressful I was, I actually watched this movie twice!
First, everyone has said it many times. One obvious good point is that the screenwriter is too good. If the screenwriter is a person, he must be a miscellaneous learner with a wide range of hobbies. I like this kind of person very much, and I also have a fervent thirst for knowledge. When I see something new, I want to do it, and I want to do it in any discipline, but all of them are Ye Gong, who is a good dragon. But it definitely stayed hot for over three minutes, I promise! The emergence of such a screenwriter is even greater than the invention of DV. He makes the dream of people who have a strong love for movies a reality. In that 80-square-meter room, there are several sofas, a few unknown actors, and even Even the background music is so bland, you can make a movie that makes you want to chase the plot. This is called a high level. It is easy to listen to people's bullshit, but it is not easy to make an attractive movie. Ninety minutes, With foreshadowing, climax and unfinished ending, this screenwriter is either a genius or a seasoned veteran.
Second, this feeling may come from my own vanity, a little hobby of mine, and a small ideal in
my imagination, the most comfortable and comfortable life is like this. And a few of these old buddies -- who are also professors in a certain field like me, and who are squatting in college to spend their later years -- with a glass of John Walker (I watched this movie during the Spring Festival) On the second day, I happened to get a bottle of John Walker, but it is Black Band, it seems to be 12 years old, I drank a little, very strong whisky, it was very refreshing, but I soon fainted after drinking it. , if someone chats, they will definitely talk about sex) and talk about their own disciplines. Such people have love and self-deprecation in their favorite fields, and have an optimistic attitude towards life. In the evening, when the weather is getting cooler, a fire is lit (a fireplace in the living room is best), and we talk to the fire, and the fire and alcohol redden some excited old faces, what a warm afternoon it must be. I am willing to wait for my whole life to have such a university and such a few old friends.

Finally, when the immortal monster who came from the Stone Age talked about explaining the Bible in 100 words, I clearly felt that the screenwriter who rejoiced in schadenfreude and let go, his small hand trembled, and the quill paused for a while, which seemed to be a bit of a joke. It was quite outrageous, but he quickly gave up on this topic and continued to turn to the archaeology he was most familiar with. Most of the conversations were archaeology and psychology. Regarding religion, after all, he did not dare to be too presumptuous, but I still really like the line from the actor who looks a bit like Truman Capote:
"What's so hard about this, I can sum up "The Ten Commandments" in ten words: Don't! Don't! Don 't! Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't!」
