Everyone has varying degrees of mental illness . They can be crazy about something, they can hold a grudge, they can attach their feelings to something that doesn't exist. Is it reality or an illusion? No one can figure out why it is so clear. Eels never know which male their flesh is, but they...

redemption. mutual redemption. A man and woman who have been injured. The eel is always his faithful listener to Yamashita, who will not betray him like his wife, nor attack him, but is his faithful companion and inner dependence. In my opinion, the theme of this film is that there may be betrayal,...

Watching "The Eel" in the afternoon, this movie is so fucking boring, even I, who watch boring movies in my life, don't understand why this movie can be favored by Cannes. The story of the movie is roughly that a man who goes fishing every night inexplicably receives a letter saying that every time...

The opening of "The Eel" is great, and it doesn't match the bland development that follows. According to the original story, the male protagonist got a letter of unknown origin to inform his wife of cheating, then went out fishing in the middle of the night and went home early to catch the...

Guizi is generally towards the light, but after a suicide attempt, she is still good at rebuilding her life and living a different life. People joked that a month later, Yamashita Barbershop couldn't live without her. In many places, the expression is very gentle and pleasant. For example, Gui...
