Acting wins for 'Gossip Girl' and 'Mad Men'

I always thought that Ben Affleck was not good as an actor, and it was better to be a director than an actor, but I didn't think this film was as good as it was rumored.

At the same time, the film also highlights Ben Affleck's vision for casting actors. The most eye-catching male and female characters in the whole film are also American actors - "Gossip Girl" Blake Lively, who shows half of her breasts at the beginning and end, and "Mad Men" Joan Hamm, who confronts Ben Affleck to the end . The sexiest fake flirt scene in the whole film is also dedicated by these two.

Therefore, I don't know if Ben Affleck is too good at casting roles as a director, or if he is too generous as a starring - in short, his acting skills can only be ranked outside the top three in this film.

    The material for the kidnappers and hostages is not new. The literary drama intersperses with the martial arts of several robberies, which also improves the flexibility of the film. However, the martial arts are better than the literary drama as a whole, especially the speed chase and the final gunfight. The emotional drama at the end is well explained. The protagonist falls into a dilemma between love and affairs. I hope Xiaoben can continue to do well behind the scenes in the future~

    In fact, I didn't understand why such a theme could be filmed for two hours. It lacks the fascinating and popular scenes as a commercial film, and lacks the temperament that it should have as a literary film. But fortunately, the performance and personal charm of the actors will not make the movie look boring. The ending song is really great, and I listened to it several times. BTW, Ben Affleck made me feel so much like Van Persie in the film. ★★★☆ Perfect

The Town quotes

  • Stephen MacRay: Look, I gotta die six times before I get out of here; but I'll see you again - this side or the other.

  • Doug MacRay: I'm thinking about, uh, taking a trip. Going dark for a minute.

    Stephen MacRay: Takin' heat?

    Doug MacRay: Nah, just... Makin' a change.

    Stephen MacRay: Yeah, don't tell me. "Making a change". Either you got heat or you don't. I heard a bread truck got dropped.

    Doug MacRay: Oh yeah? I didn't hear about it.

    Stephen MacRay: Okay.

    Doug MacRay: Let me ask you something. In case I don't see you again. How come you never... uh... how come you never looked for her?

    Stephen MacRay: Uhhhhh... looked for who?

    Doug MacRay: For ma. My mother. How come you never looked for her? How come you never tried to call nobody or look for her or ask around...

    Stephen MacRay: When your mother left, you cried so hard you were throwin' up. All over the parlor. So, I told you if you looked around you might find her. It was to, eh, give you an activity. I didn't think you'd carry it like a fuckin' disease. Oh, you wanna think she was an angel? Go ahead. But look out your front door. How many 22 year old girls are out there, they're fuckin' around, with kids they don't want... and... you know... no sense in their heads. And your mother was no different. Now that's the hard truth. I made my peace with it. Now make yours. I didn't look for her because there was nothin to find. Look, I gotta die five times before I get outta here. But... I'll see you again. This side or the other.
