9.5 points. Highest score in non-drama category. 10 points? That would be an exception! Well, 10 points.

I like Tuesday, I like wearing SQ505 in the dark, let art flow through my eyes, ears, and even every corner of my body;
I don't like Tuesday, because of the precious movie time, I have to choose a good movie , which also means that it will take an hour to code words afterward to express the inner excitement and difficult words, instead of saying casually: "This is a good movie".

A few days ago, or 10 days ago, after watching several romantic comedies one after another, I have to sigh, when will the old classics be reproduced? In such classics, there are no bizarre visual effects, and no need to show The so-called sexy with a bare chest can also have no confusing narrative structure, just a simple and effective narration of the life and love story of a normal single man and woman, can it be that "Larry Crowe" heard me like a wolf call? The sadness of those relatively poor romance films, like the magician's playing cards, is gone here. The antique cast and crew, the antique music, the antique photography techniques, and the antique plot are so intoxicating that my eyes don't want to leave the screen for a second. Those producers who think that R-rated elements must be added to the film Go to hell, everyone and the director!

Seven or eight years ago, I watched Mona Lisa Smile. I couldn't have known at the time, but for me, that was the last time I saw Julia Roberts in a new work to this day; and I never knew when Roberts won the Oscar for "Never Compromise." Roberts in my heart is in the small town of Notting Hill in England, carrying a dozen cowhide bags of famous fashion, and opening the door of the bookstore.

In "Larry Crowe," she reprises her role as a teacher, and the Mona Lisa is back? When she smiled again, I was amazed that there was such a beautiful smile, such a godsend. Julia Roberts, do you know that at this moment, you surpass the countless Oscar vases of the moment, whether fake or real, brand new or collectible.

Gan Foster, you're on your way to fame. We miss you dearly young, and I miss you too. We didn't know your name was Fox until we saw you write an electronic love letter in Brooklyn, New York, and no one thought about your age, but was attracted to your charm, even the name of your pet dog. Remember - Bradley. But today, your name is Larry Crowe, embracing a sunny life with the courage of Gan Foster.

The "Green Miracle" and "Cat and Mouse Game" you starred in are also enough to portray a kind, warm and sunny you, but you are not only a good actor, as a producer, you and Director Si jointly produced " Brotherhood". You take your precious time to stand on the Oscar podium and say "there used to be a very perfect movie", and at the same time the classic scene of "Titanic" starts to play on the big screen, Ruth happily shouts "Jack, I'm flying ”, all the film and television people in the Oscars were applauding, not only for the Titanic that was filled with the romantic dreams of countless people, not only for the love that made people cry, not only for this masterpiece that is difficult to surpass in future generations; Also for you, only you are eligible to award this award, their applause is an affirmation of you and a thank you for your contribution to film and television.

I finally came back to reality from the jump of thought, ah, yes, your name is Tom Hanks, and we will always be Gan Foster in our hearts.

If someone asked me, "There's a Julia Roberts movie here, have you seen it?"
I'd say, "Look."
If someone asked me, "There's a Tom Hanks movie here, have you seen it?" "
I would also answer, "Look."
If someone asked me, "Then if there was a movie starring Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks, would you watch it?"
I would ask him in return, "Then you say if I give you five A hundred dollars, do you want it?"

Mr. Tom Hanks, it was your optimistic attitude towards life that touched me and wanted the same bright life; Ms. Julia Roberts, it was your heart-warming smile that melted me and made me dare to find the same bright life. "Larry Crow," you gave me these two hours that I will never forget.
