"Sorrow is a polysemous Chinese character, mostly related to death and sadness."

Finally watched "Saint". It was a pity that I missed "Arirang" last time. After so long, I finally saw Kim Ki-duk's works on the big screen again.

"Saint" goes against the trend of the past, using a lot of dialogue, and it is the dialogue that exposes the problem naked. No longer relying solely on the picture to speak, the hero and heroine are no longer silent, and the film loses its quiet understanding.

Honestly, anyone who likes Kim Ki-duk's unique style will be a little...

Immersive Movies

It is no exaggeration to say that this film is a model of commercial films in recent years. It has almost all the elements of a mature commercial film, such as beauty, violence, action, revenge, espionage, and suspense. The factors are perfectly blended together, it is neither a mindless battle, nor is it jerky and incomprehensible!

There are a lot of movies shown after shuffling the order of the movies and reassembling them, but not many are played well,...

Some thoughts on watching the movie "The Great Sneak Attack"

1. The mood of a man, the mood of career/war/dignity... Before the unknown and danger, there are still two people who volunteered.
2. Will the American soldier who was captured by the Japanese army in that year be very frightened when he sees Asian faces in the future?
3. The relationship between the Philippines and China? Relations with the United States? How has the relationship with Japan developed and changed?
4. Japanese, Chinese: bad, stupid?
5. The existence of a...

The love we sing.

All sing praises of love, like the nightingale that sings all night;
all look forward to love, as if they would have the star of the ocean;
we give all the supreme adjectives to such a thin noun of love.
Unrepentant, obsessed. The sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, sleepless.
But what is love?

Our kitsch sings that love can break through all barriers, and at the same time kills relatives to those who truly love.
We are always in a chain of contradictory...

Male version of "Ugly Betty" - "How to Betray Your Family"

The first reaction after watching this film is to think of "Ugly Betty", which is similar to the background setting of the story. The film tells the interesting story of a British man whose appearance is out of tune with the fashion industry, who works for a top fashion magazine in New York. I don't know the other actors in the film very well, only the heroine Kirsten Dunst is familiar to me, and I like to watch her films (I like "Elizabethtown" the most), which gives people a very comfortable...

about a few doubts

Overall, it's still pretty nice. The story is very strong, the first half can be seen as a scenery film, and the second half is also shocking, but there are a few places, I don't know if the screenwriter is unreasonable, or I don't understand, it should be quite interesting to write.
1. Was it really a coincidence that Jessie's husband Roy missed the train?
In hindsight it seemed so, but C picked up a stick when Roy and Carlos got out of the car together, giving the impression that he...

I’m only watching Indiana Jones now, so let’s briefly talk about your afterthoughts

Because of Spielberg's name, I watched the Raiders of the Lost Ark series and wrote this non-professional film review.
The first Raiders of the Lost Ark is a story around the cabinet. At the beginning of the movie, Indiana Jones was looking for golden treasures. The story is short and the rhythm is fast. It can bring people into the movie well. go with.
Later, when the map was changed to another place, when the map was changed, a red line was drawn on the map and then moved. This...

no longer scary

In February 2019, the 2018 Global Happiness Index was released, and Norway ranked second. Even so, terrorism is still inevitable. Religion and politics have always been inseparable. What is a hotbed of terrorism? The common problems faced by the world: uneven economic development, religious conflicts, immigration policies... cause Norway, New Zealand, the United States, and make every developed country walk on thin ice. The film allows me to re-examine myself and society again. I hope such a...

Le Mans Havana

Wim Wenders was cast by Haruki Murakami for this music documentary. Dim the light and absorb it wholeheartedly, and you will be completely immersed in another world. The waves crashed against the streets, much like Italy. The color of the house is full of mottled enthusiasm. Ordinary scooters cross the street, and flowers are planted on the balcony, unsurprisingly. The leisurely citizens will make you think of the words only freedom, ease, and comfort. Time seems to pass very slowly in this...

Fellini's childhood

I especially like watching the director's childhood stories, and even more like watching the Italian director filming his childhood hometown. Italians are enthusiastic, noisy, and have a strong infectious power. The background of the film is Fellini's hometown of Rimini, which belongs to his childhood.

Just like the English title I remember, the film is made up of memory fragments, and there is no clear origin and transition. Since memory is constructed,...

yet another failure...

This time, the difference between the East and the West is vividly reflected. The
ghost of the East was photographed by Westerners as nondescript
. The final result was that the Easterners and Westerners were not frightened

. Although I had already heard of the failure of this film,
I
still took precious time to watch it for Jessica alba... .I
really regret after reading it .
I still feel a little sleepy in the middle of the way. It's
scary and lacks...

Toy Story

"Transformers" is making a lot of money, and Hasbro has another toy line - special forces, of course, also used to make movies. There are many characters with unique skills in both the positive and negative camps, which are quite X-Men style.
Compared with "Transformers", the animation works of this film are not so popular. I know this series purely because I played the video game of the same name when I was a child. The style of this game is very unique, weapons and blood can be upgraded;...

The deer hunter is still the hunted person

I don’t know how to evaluate "Deer Hunter". It is very different from other war movies or Vietnam War movies, because it would not be appropriate to divide it into Vietnam War movies. The movie is roughly divided into three parts. The preparation of the three friends before the war and the long wedding are as complete as a documentary, but it is very beautiful, singing and dancing. The connection between the second part and the first part is quite abrupt. After the wedding ended with a...

Fragile 007 "Casino Royale"

I went to the theater to watch the 21st part of 007-"Casino Royale" last night. The plot was fragmented. Bond went up to the mountain to fight the tiger. He didn't expect to encounter a rabbit first, and he was killed. He read a mobile phone text message, traced it to the fox, and then killed it. He saw a cell phone number and then traced it to the wolf. It was still dead. After finally getting to the wild boar, Bond himself was knocked out. The audience watched eagerly at the 145th minute that...

Forward Quentin's interview about the original novel

"Dangerous Relationship" is probably the least well-known one of Quentin's famous director's works, probably because its style is too "Quentin". It is adapted from Elmore Leonard's novel "The Power of Magic", a crime comedy hodgepodge, and Quentin's first adaptation of a screenplay. The works of the original author Leonard had a huge influence on Quentin, and Quentin’s respect for him made the plot and dialogue of this film quite satisfactory, it seems that Quentin’s iconic black humor and...
