The word limit for short reviews is high.

Has this old Mike studied Lao Zhuang? I know very little about Zhuangzi and Laozi's thoughts, but I feel that there are overlapping and similarities.

/ I began to feel more and more shallow, and I felt good but couldn’t list them one by one. It can even be said to be poison. I am addicted to the director's shooting technique, the lines he wrote and the superb performance of the actors. I feel every character in the play and the life they have to face. I experience pain and joy together with the protagonist , when the end credits came up, I felt lost again. There will be no way out of my life here, and a movie cannot give the answer to my life (although its lines say to learn to live without an answer).

/ Justin told his father that he was going to go to a summer preparatory class. The camera was originally two people fighting back and forth. The scene was all over. The director placed his father in the center. He said with a little difficulty: i was just...getting used to you, very touching. (Absolutely, I would actually take the time to take screenshots and add them to the post-view, which is unprecedented

/ Even when I saw it halfway through, I was still wondering if Justin is definitely not the one who played the social network, but why does it feel so similar to him, even Ribera in Twilight.

/ Who is the director of "Requiem for a Dream", and is Mike Mills related to him?

/ There was a very depressing time in the middle, and what I thought in my mind was: "Manchester by the Sea" is the pain caused by someone leaving this world and the gloom that can't be driven away, no one died here, nothing was destroyed, but still let People are depressed. The idea was that the only way I could get her attention was by being his son, and at the time I felt like everyone here, from parents to Justin to dentists to debate teachers, was carrying a very heavy burden. But then Xiao Jia rode his bike in the middle of the night to see his mother who was working the night shift, and then he solved the previous misunderstanding when he met a male star. This part felt a little too simple, and the foreshadowing was quite realistic, although I knew that the director/screenwriter wanted to To "fool" the audience to a certain extent, so that they can not guess the plot, but also have to not so destroy their self-esteem, so that they feel a little bit superior when watching the movie. But I think the creation and resolution of this misunderstanding is a bit anticlimactic.

Originally, I was writing a short review in the east and west, but recently I always wrote it and I exceeded the word count so I came here. It will be better tomorrow.
