It is still the consistent theme and style of Kenlo District, and the plot is more popular and interesting. The title of The Angels' Share seems to say everything the movie wants to say. The brewers and tasters spend their time and history in the pursuit of the ultimate sensory and artistic in whisky, and the results of the pursuit have become a huge game of power and money. reward. One can only imagine what would happen if such a structure were placed in a Kenloh film. On the one hand, the movie affirms the artistic and humanistic value of whisky, but it also opposes the price tag with money and power, so the script is marked with different price units for the fantasy wine in the play. The opportunity at the bottom to break through the class cage, in exchange for the lost prodigal son can regain his life.

Of course, there are thefts, breaking the law, and the famous wines have been destroyed and spilled all over the place. Many movies may comfortably allow the protagonist to work hard and succeed within the system, perhaps wandering somewhat on the edge and ambiguity of the system, but in this small and lovely movie, Kenloh still feels more about the system. Powerless, so he lightly planted the seeds of resistance, destruction, and stealing. This is the means for the protagonist to survive. Of course, in the end, he also found a job and returned to the system. That is, if the money created by the value of art and beauty is enough to deprive the poor of their chances of survival, it is better to let the small 2% benefit be shared with the angels!

    3.5. Rocky has changed a lot this time, from realism to drama comedy, which is very relaxed, beautiful and coherent. But can this film win the jury award? Too much moisture!

    Although still focusing on reality and adding fairy-tale elements, "Looking for Eric" has exposed many problems with Ken Loch's comedy, and this is still the case. Everything is quite satisfactory, there is nothing special about it, and it can even be said to be a little warm, but also a little plain.
