He was on the right track from the start

To be honest, just watching the film a bit like making love to write a review, because the process is very interesting, but finished thing after feeling a little tired, so I want a quick fix, easy to talk about my little humble opinion.
Not so much The director is making a movie rather than writing a novel, because the whole movie is about some stories of the director when he was young. If you know Paulo, it is not difficult to see this. I don't need to go into details here, please check him CV. Nabokov once said that the first novel of any great novelist is about writing about himself and his own experience, even a writer like him who despises realism can not escape this disaster, because it is difficult for you to have profound knowledge in the early stage of writing. The idea and superb skills, writing yourself is often the most handy, other themes have neither feeling nor much innovation for a fledgling boy, and the things that come out are either lackluster or nonsense. I don't know what to say, so I said that Paulo was on the right path from the beginning, and he got better and better. After watching <>, everyone knows his current skill.
Film art and literary art are very different The two arts, the two artistic expression techniques and the artistic effects pursued are completely different. The film focuses on the audio-visual art. What the director does is to show you everything he wants you to see and hear, so that You get a kind of artistic enjoyment from it, and literature is the writer's use of words to convey information to you, allowing you to imagine the writer's meaning, and sometimes you can even think about what the writer didn't bring you. From this point of view, Movies are passive and novels are active, so I may prefer to read novels, but I said that Paulo was on the right track from the beginning, maybe his literary skills are not proficient enough, so he failed to write <> This is not a novel, but he can make the film as smooth and imaginative as a novel. I have to admire him. He is really another quasi-master in the history of film. His biggest problem now may be his age.
I just want to say two words for the whole movie: wonderful. As I said before, I am reading an autobiography, a fictional autobiographical novel. People who often read novels will naturally understand a little bit of my humble opinion. I hope you watch the movie seriously, it is worth it!

    Dirk: [practicing his lines in the mirror] I've been around this block twice now. Looking for something. A clue. I've been looking for clues and something led me back here. Yeah. So here I am. It could have been me, the one who was at Ringo's place when the shit went down. Hey. I know how it is. I've been there. We've all done bad things. We've all had those guilty feelings in our heart. I'm going to take your brain out of your head and wash it and scrub it and make it clean. I don't know. But I'm going to have to settle this. First we're going to check the hole and see what we can find. We're going to get nice and wet, and you're going to spread your legs. Oh, that's good. So you know me. You know my reputation. Thirteen inches of tough load, I don't treat you gently. That's right. I'm Brock Landers. So I'm going to be nice. So I'm going to be nice. So I'm going to be nice, I'm going to ask you one more time. Where the fuck is Ringo?

    Dirk: [he stands, unzips his pants and pulls out his penis] I am a star. I'm a star, I'm a star, I'm a star. I am a big, bright, shining star. That's right.

    Little Bill: Hey. Kurt. What's up?

    Kurt Longjohn: What's wrong with you?

    Little Bill: Ah... my fuckin' wife, man, she's over there... she's got some idiot's dick in her, people standing around watching - it's a fuckin' embarassment.

    Kurt Longjohn: Yeah. Yeah. I know. Anyway, listen...

    Little Bill: Yeah?

    Kurt Longjohn: For the shoot - I wanna talk about the look. I wanted to see about getting this new zoom lens...

    Little Bill: Right.

    Kurt Longjohn: I wondered if we'd be able to look into getting some more lights, too, y'know...

    Little Bill: Jack wants a minimal thing...

    Kurt Longjohn: Right, well, very often, minimal means a lot more photographically than I think, well... than I think most people understand...

    Little Bill: I understand.

    Kurt Longjohn: No, no. Hey. I know you understand, I was talking about some other people.

    Little Bill: Well, I think what Jack is talking about is minimal, not really "natural", but minimal...

    Kurt Longjohn: Okay... fine... I was just saying...

    Little Bill: I understand...

    Kurt Longjohn: 'Cause I'm trying to give each picture it's own look...

    Little Bill: Can we talk about this later?

    Kurt Longjohn: Oh, yeah... you have to go somewhere... or...?

    Little Bill: Well, no, yeah... I mean...

    Kurt Longjohn: 'Cause I was hoping to, y'know, for the shoot tomorrow, we could send Rocky down and he could pick it up...

    Little Bill: Kurt.

    Kurt Longjohn: No. Hey. Gotcha. You've gotta go somewhere so - hey - what the fuck? It's only the fucking photography of the movie we're talking about.

    Little Bill: My fucking wife has an ass in her cock over in the driveway, alright? I'm sorry if my thoughts aren't with the photography of the film we're shooting tomorrow, Kurt, OK?

    Kurt Longjohn: OK. No big deal. Sorry.
