I adore Quentin. But Quentin is John Woo's little fanboy, almost to the point of admiration! Two years ago, after I watched the first Quentin movie "Kill Bill", what kind of experience was that? Silly

Before that, I never knew that movies could express my emotions so unscrupulously, and I never knew that women should be like this: when the society mocks them ruthlessly and treats them cruelly, I will report With teeth, with blood.

When the revenge bride put on Bruce Lee's yellow jumpsuit, in front of a group of Japanese underworld armed with knives, she shouted: O^en, the balance between us is not over yet! Under the fluorescent lamp, the room was as bright as day, and the Japanese samurai sword, which inspired ice flowers like thousand-year-old black iron, drank blood and started killing. , I only saw blood-colored dahlias blooming all over the screen, which was extremely coquettish and beautiful. When violence rises to the realm of aesthetics, what kind of incomparable and wonderful chemical reaction should the conflict between the two arouse be?

The fantasy world may not be too close to ordinary real life, but we are willing to indulge in that wonderful world

When the daughter pointed the gun at the father, the wife stood in the middle of the real and the fake husband who pointed the gun at each other, the lover died trying to save the enemy because the lover was unknown, ran wild in the hail of bullets, jumped out of the gunfire... These undoubtedly stimulated our emotions. sensory nerves,

Before the wind and rain, after the blood plasma, a group of white doves flew up, and the childish singing of the choir drifted throughout the church... This may be the finishing touch of John Woo's art.
