Watch Wei Xidi, watch a movie

This month, the Goethe-Institut (China) screened six films by Fatih Akin, a famous young Turkish-German director, at the Sculpture Time Cafe Nanjing University Store (47 Hankou Road). In order, experts will comment on each film after the screening.

I put it on the fourth part tonight - "Going Forward". I didn't specifically want to watch this part. In fact, I didn't know Faith Akin before, just because the guest reviewer invited tonight was the film critic Wei Xidi, and I often listen to it. People have talked about him and plan to go see him and watch a movie by the way.

I invited Senior Sister ANN to go with me. She asked if the movie was good. I said I didn’t know, but I just wanted to hear the movie review from Wei Xidi. She said that there is still a meeting to watch a movie? Do not go do not go.

I went, and I went with Liz and the fairy. Liz is a film lover who is learning to write and direct, and the fairy is a former colleague of Wei Xidi. "The golden job of the company, the fairy still hangs in it so far, humming with nothing to do, talking about boring and uninteresting, Wei Xidi resolutely resigned a few years ago and went home to watch movies and write film reviews full-time, and no longer belongs to her. any organization.

Wei Xidi was thin and thin, sitting weakly on the sofa in the center, and after a while, there was really nothing to see, and he concentrated on watching the movie.

Very realistic theme, although it is a relatively extreme male and female protagonist, this is the attraction of Western movies: dramatic story structure, but the plot details must be realistic and realistic. In contrast, the regret of domestic films is also here: the big picture Focus, small things are clumsy.

I like the Middle Eastern-style music in the film and the appearance of the heroine (especially the short hair in the second half, which is extremely charming). This is a good-looking and endearing movie. In the review, a boy with glasses said that the film was too dark and depressing. I can only think that this man is either stupid and naive, or pretends to be pure and innocent.

Why cry for part of your life, don't you see the whole life is full of tears - the movie just states a fact!
