I've never felt so strongly to write a review and it's a documentary. However, compared with Roger's film review, this can't be regarded as a film review at all, it should only be regarded as an afterthought.
If I say that my passion for movies in the past was empty and meaningless, but after watching this movie, I feel that I completely fell in love with movies. If you are also reflecting on the fact that your love for movies is not deep enough, you are confused because you can’t understand movies, or you don’t know movies at all; For the rest of your life, you will be infected by his passion for movies, a feeling you can't resist! It's like thunder, like a huge wave, irritating every pore of you; you'll really fall in love with the movie, and you'll fall in love with Roger at the same time.
Maybe when you see Roger on the big screen at the beginning of the film, you can't believe it, you may find him funny, you may find him terrifying (if you don't know him personally). Then his image in your heart will continue to be sublimated; he will become lovely and holy! At the same time, a sense of shame will arise spontaneously, and yes, you will be ashamed of your previous thoughts. He's the Hawking, Einstein, or Socrates of film (excuse my lack of knowledge, can only come up with these famous people to match). Giotto Canudu made cinema art, and it was Roger who gave cinema life! It was he who showed the true connotation of the film with his film reviews.
The film revolves around three main cores: Roger's persistence in movies and film reviews, the sincere friendship between Roger and Gene, and the touching love between Roger and Xia Zi. This is a documentary with such rich emotional lines, and the use of cross-montage makes people unable to break free from the emotional whirlpool at this moment. You will find that it is so precious and satisfying to have a thing that is as worthy of your life as a movie, and how rare it is to have a friend like Gene, he will be happy that he can no longer be with you Troubled by work, he will cry with joy for your first wedding, he will hide his terminal illness in order to spend every job in his life happily with you, like a normal person who has passed his last in your life One day, even if he knew that you would hate him, he also knew that you loved him deeply. (The writing is numb) and having a wife like Xia Zi is your luck for three lifetimes! (Can't express in too many words)
Why has American cinema been in a dominant position and cannot be surpassed? Some people say that it is because of the existence of Hollywood. Indeed, Hollywood is very powerful, and I once thought it was because of Hollywood. But after watching this film, I know, that's because of Roger's existence! Such a great film critic will make American films take a lot less detours, and always guide them on the Sunshine Avenue! If he survives, I believe that the film industry will never decline!
