    Still Tsui Hark, but not a Tsui Hark movie anymore

    To be honest, the moment I walked out of the movie theater, I felt a little disappointed. Perhaps the previous expectations were too high.
    "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is certainly not a bad film, but for Director Tsui Hark, it is definitely not a good film. The script is normal, the performance is normal, the standards of photography, music, and editing have declined quite a bit, but the costumes, makeup and art are quite outstanding, the action special effects are very general, and the...

    Literary version of infectious diseases

    When I watched it, I actually felt the same as the tone of the movie Contagion. It focused on love and told the pursuit of the first love of people who gradually lost their five senses. Even if the sense of smell, taste and hearing disappear, even if the vision finally disappears, and the whole world enters eternal darkness, two people who love each other still have touch, and it is still a perfect feeling to love and embrace each other. An allegorical global disease, the degeneration of...

    In the name of the father - in the name of the father, in the name of justice, in the name of integrity to seek justice, I was a little irritable in the early stage, starting from the father, everything began to change, the rhythm began to tighten, and a series of atmospheres set up ahead I started to break out. My heart beat faster as I watched the court defense, and I felt a huge amount of adrenaline being secreted. Just, what is justice? Safeguarding national rights is justice? Although...

    When the living cannot communicate with each other

    What strikes me most about the film is this set of contrasts:
    Yeter's body is airlifted back to Turkey, and we see a coffin descend gently. . .
    And Lotte, a good friend of Yeter's daughter Ayten, died unexpectedly in the process of helping Ayten in the search for a gun in Turkey. At the same airport and the same elevator, Lotte slowly ascended and was transported to Germany.
        It seems that Lotte can finally fulfill Ayten's wish and help her find her mother.
    But the...

    [Film Review] Three versions of "Oliver Twist" with their own merits

    The three films of "Oliver Twist" (1948, 1968, 2005) are all classics. If you are a fan of Dickens' works, especially a loyal reader of "Oliver Twist", then these three films are all Not to be missed. They each have their own strengths and complement each other to fill in all the characters and wonderful details of the original book, and present the dark fairy tale world of Dickens in their own unique era style (black and white film, musical, modern...

    Become a Dousen fan from now on

    It's all the fault of the Women's Federation, who dressed up Shiver Sen as a bad Loki with two horns, and didn't like him at all at the beginning.
            But Mr Pine is really charming, elegant and noble, and he has also worked hard to save the world while also taking care of the boss's woman and the landlord's daughter in the village. It's not an exaggeration to say that Dousen is too stealthy, but the close-up shots are really eye-catching. I just want to say that it's okay to have a...

    Actually he doesn't like you that much

    Tony Leung said: If a man loves you, then you will definitely feel it. If all you think of now is the unease he gave you, then, in fact, he doesn't like you that much. "He's Just Not That Into You", actually he doesn't like you that much. "All unmarried young women should see this movie."
      The beginning of the movie is very interesting.
      From natives of a tribe in Africa, to white-collar workers in high-end restaurants in New York,
      from wealthy middle-aged women to slender...

    The tactic of blurring morality is not new

    The more biographies of such anti-social characters are read, the more difficult it is for them to be outstanding and breakthrough. Either he tried his best to render violent and provocative images of heavy taste, and completely reduced it to a cult work, such as this year's Berlin competition film "The Golden Gloves"; I guess the director felt the same way, so he did not hesitate to add the secondary line of homosexuality to enrich the protagonist's criminal motive and psychological...

    It is still a day to sigh Netflix's generosity.

    The story of the world's most wanted man

    Edward Snowden, who disclosed secret NSA documents on the "Prism" surveillance program to The Guardian and The Washington Post in June 2013, was immediately wanted by the U.S. government and was in Hong Kong at the time of the incident , then flew to Russia.
    U.S. President Barack Obama said with a black face: He will not dispatch fighter jets because of this. (It seems that someone proposed to him to send a fighter jet.) But he also said that Snowden will be wanted all over the world....

    plot crime funny

    The four stars are completely for our Lao Shi. Although the action voice is obviously less sharp than before because of his age, we can still clearly feel Lao Shi's love and dedication to the movie from the whole movie. The plot of the film is relatively old-fashioned, and many points are connected unexpectedly. (Speaking of this, I have to mention that I don’t know why I am particularly disgusted with the Chinese in the film, the tall and thin one who works with the boss. Man, I think his...

    If the story is the flesh and blood of the film, then the music is the soul of the film.

    And the various fetters between the music player and the instrument are often the theme of film art faithful to performance.

    It's like accompanying a middle-aged crisis person who won a drama, spent more than ten months on a soul searching journey, and listened to him talking to himself throughout the whole process. The content of the two-minute trailer was played repeatedly for two hours.

    Superman is a disaster. Wherever he goes, the powerful invaders will follow him. Why doesn't the United Nations in the DC universe consider this issue to expel him?

    In 1996's "Independence Day 1", although the gesture of praising the United States was a bit nauseous, the special effects scenes were ahead of the times, and the narrative was calm, and the emotions and rhythms were basically in place; In the "Independence Day 2", the special effects scenes are almost the same. The narrative aspect is a disaster, and almost every link from the beginning to the end is a perfunctory routine.

    The style is very concise and lively. It's a pity that I couldn't explore it in more depth, but it's quite preconceived about my appetite, which makes most people turn a blind eye to the loopholes. Have enough persistence for yourself and the society

    So the politics was not correct for a long time, but the black brother won? ! Just as the whole film is full of details, the director can't wait to give each supporting role a side plot portrait. In fact, there are so many bugs that the description gets darker. . . The bloody degree of the shooting adds a star.

    Just like when Beethoven played a piece of "Flowing Water", Petzold probably wanted to make a love movie that "takes off the form, and the handshake is broken", but he knocked on the keyboard of the organ, and the effect came out. It's too solid, too clumsy, not ethereal at all...

    Marlene Dietrich is very eye-catching, especially in the appearance, and there are several subtle changes in expressions that are wonderful~! People who are accustomed to watching Xi's old works, including myself, are accustomed to regard her as the heroine. Of course, the hero is the black-haired scapegoat, but this is not the case after watching the movie. The heroine is Jian Huai, who is plain and not blonde. Man, at first I was worried that this atypical heroine would make people look a little out of place, but I was worried in vain, because her performance is not inferior to the golden female supporting actress Dietrich, especially the face in the final extortion confrontation scene. The facial expressions and lines are changed so well, and the rivalry between the detective and Eve is also very interesting. Although Eve often says that she is not a good actor, she is very good at fascinating the detective. There are two close-ups of the faces of the characters. They are the conversation between the detective and Eve in the car in front, which is very romantic; the back is the relationship between Eve and the suspect, covering half of his face with light and expressing it with his eyes and low words. Suspenseful atmosphere
