life is precious

Although I guessed the ending just after watching the beginning, I was still slightly moved by the ending. I

watched this film entirely for Kevin Spacey. This old Hollywood boy is not so handsome in appearance, he belongs to No one pays attention to the kind of people who are thrown in the crowd, the voice is like being caught in the throat once, and there are not many movies made by the age His role is dead, the middle-class representative LOSER in "American Beauty", the perverted murderer in "The Seven Deadly Sins", the wily crippled man in "The Very Suspects", and even the one at the beginning of "Ace of Power 3" The bald head is so bright, and he can't

tell what's going on. Anyway, as long as he appears in the camera, he doesn't need to watch other people's scenes, and his attention is all drawn by this old boy. >It can't be called a successful film, let's say it's a literary film, but the director always wants to play you on the plot. It's considered a commercial film. There are too few people who can be played by him. If it wasn't for Spacey's superb With acting skills, IMDB is good enough to score seven points. The story tells the story of a university professor who is striving to abolish the death penalty, raped and killed a female colleague who liked him, and was put on death row to wait for death. They were repeatedly explained at the beginning of the film. In order to abolish the death penalty, I ran around everywhere, but suffered from the pain of finding no evidence of the complaint. Friends who often watch movies or detective novels should understand that this rape and murder case is a double reed played by the two of them together. It belongs to the type that is willing to fight and be willing to suffer. I kept praying while watching the film, don't ask me to guess, otherwise it will be very uninspired, and the result is really like this.

I think as a screenwriter, if your plot really can't make up any good ideas, then don't use this method of pulling the cocoon to reveal the truth at the last minute, don't work on the ending. Just reverse the order. Come over, tell the audience their motives at the beginning, and then add a little bit of narrative process, plus a little long shot to stretch the rhythm, a literary film is born in this way. Although this does not guarantee that your film will become a good film, at least You won't be criticized, and you will be despised by self-righteous audiences and despise your IQ. Therefore, sometimes people who are not talented enough can succeed, that is, they can always avoid their weaknesses and make the best use of their only strengths. Let's be objective. It is said that the most powerful director in China is still Zhang Yimou rather than Jia Zhangke. We cannot completely deny his ability just because he has smashed a few commercial films. Because there are fewer and fewer good ideas to startle, there are a few Kurosawa Akira in the world, not to mention Jia Zhangke, it is probably enough for you to ask Fellini to make a film that is very popular and sold, so it is said that there are Specializing in, don't make a movie that doesn't depend on both sides, then it's time to smash your hands.

Even though I guessed the ending, I couldn't help but be moved. With you, this old guy is getting worse and worse. A man who gave his life to his cause, that's the theme of this movie, and I'm always touched by this kind of dedication, because they know the meaning of life. The meaning is far more important than life itself. If you count the footprints of every step forward in the history of human civilization, you can see that countless people like this have fallen at the feet of history, and like a brick, they have raised the starting point of future generations step by step. The reason why mice can Eating rat medicine as jelly beans is precisely because countless dead rats have changed the genes of his descendants. There is no progress without sacrifice, just like there is no revolution without bloodshed. I deeply admire those martyrs who dared to be the first. It was them who made us what we are today. The

last shot reminded me of Copernicus and Galileo murmured on the ground of the Inquisition: "But the earth really revolves around the sun."
