absurd drama

The Coen Brothers' "Burn After Reading", I have been planning to watch it for a long time, and some friends have confused it with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" before. Because it has Pete in it. For some reason, Mr. Pitt has become a sportsman all over the world. In the Korean drama "Funny Family" I watched recently, Mr. Xu, the little rabbit who often fell, often looked at the male protagonist, and sighed with a nympho: This face looks so much like Pete. . . . Its influence is evident. However, Mr. Xu who said this must have not seen this movie.
Compared to the sparkling George Clooney like the fifth diamond king, Pitt is simply a hyperactive child in it. Working in a health club really fits his character. And the inexplicable death at the end also seems very miraculous. In my opinion, this step by step is simply self-defeating. The theme of the absurdity of life is brought to light again.

This film has a good reputation. In the first half, the three main lines are laid out in turn. It's still the stuffy tone of "No Country for Old Men", the uninspired extramarital affairs, the cold woman's face, but the man inside should look cute. The first climax is reached in the second half, when Pitt is killed by a terrified Clooney. It can be said that the beauty who has been covering her face for a long time finally exposed her thighs.
No matter how absurd the story is, how unreliable the human emotions are. The biggest irony of the film is that ZF or ZF's representative FBI OR CAI. It seems that no matter where, the people's enthusiasm and ridicule for politics have something in common. That so-called top-secret book, and the way the whole thing was handled, made us realize that the whole political system was a ridiculous event, if all that was true.
