    Movies that value self-esteem

    "Shape of Sound" I have only seen this movie, not the original manga, so I will analyze it directly from the movie and talk about my feelings.

    I think this is a story about the bully and the bullied, respectively, to get rid of the stigma that this role has given them, and to re-face their lives. The film does not focus on exploring the reasons behind bullying and the attribution of responsibility, but focuses on the mental journey of the characters, but it still involves more or less...

    Thirteen episodes only, can’t hold so many things

           I finished watching the show on Wednesday night. After watching it, I felt very complicated and confused, but I was still more disappointed.
           The first thing to be sure is the photography, cutting, and soundtrack. Daredevil has a good start, and Jessica Jones did not disappoint in these aspects.
           Let me talk about the problem.
            There is a big problem with the story and character portrayal. The main line of the story is very clear: JJ's struggle...

    Life is but a walking shadow

    Macbeth Act 5, scene 5, 19–28
    Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
    creeps in this petty pace from day to day
    To the last syllable of recorded time;
    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
    the way to dusty death.
    Out, out brief candle!
    Life is but a walking shadow,
    a poor player that struts and frets
    his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.
    It is a tale told by an idiot,
    full of sound and fury signifying nothing....

    [Film Review] Dead of Night (1945) 7.6/10

    An anthology horror fare from Ealing studios, not their usual practice, DEAD OF NIGHT's frame story is embowered in a country home where the hag-ridden architect Walter Craig (John, timorous at first, but becomes totally unheimlich near the end) is invited by its owner Elliot Foley (Culver) for renovation advice, upon arrival, it dawns on Mr. Craig that incredibly he has dreamt about the...

    Hong Kong movies are getting old

    At the time of painting, 2017. I marked the movies I wanted to watch. As a result, in 2019, I finally watched it after 2 years. Will a 2-year delay make any difference?

    Hong Kong movies are really old.

    The plot is still stuck in the routine of 10 years ago. First down and then up, the hero counterattacks. In the meantime, there are adventures, there are insults, and there are dead people. In short, the hero lives to the end and is innocent to the end. Because of this plot, I feel...

    Inside and outside the fence

    At the beginning, it was a whispered narration, with a murmur of mystery and legacy, telling the hope in the fragile depths, turning the darkness into light.

    How can we stop the invasion of darkness and despair, cast high walls, or go out into the unknown distance to create and spread knowledge and hope. It reminds me of Attack on Titan, the wall can never withstand fear and enemies, and it will always collapse. The high wall represents the self-preservation and the flimsy and false...

    Very Western and not Asian

    When I was in high school, there was a joke that the groom spent a whole night and finally the bride's cn film finally
    broke The child experimented with ooxx. At that time, I really laughed until the internal injury
    casts were very powerful. I remember that in the end spiderman was still frodo. His parents were still playing swing parties. It's the kind of bright family. In fact, everyone's heart is as dry as a birch tree in winter. Later, I went to know that the suburbs of NY are...

    Looking forward to the second part

    So pretty! A tense, suspenseful and exciting escape room movie. The plot is compact and the process is orderly, a bit like "Chainsaw". The film mainly tells the story of 6 selected people who participated in the game that the rich and powerful had already bet on. Among these 6 people, some are self-righteous, some are selfish, some are witty, some are righteous, and everyone's heart and the director's close-up are worth exploring. There are actually not many villains, which is also the...

    "Peerless Queen" movie review

    What the hell, this is the end? Isn't it a remake of "Queen of the Dead"? The movie is not necessarily because of the queen's extravagance that led to the decline of the entire dynasty. It is obviously because the king was too young, and he listened to the minister's words and used materials to support the United States just to declare his strength to England.

    The movie is about an Austrian princess who was sent to France to be a concubine because the country needed an alliance....

    If there's a sequel, expect Al Pacino to turn into a criminal

    1: Recognized the Godfather, recognized the machete, recognized Ma Hong, recognized the Batman Kilmer who I think had the most perfect chin, and then looked at the familiar mole and the familiar face... this Nima is De Niro? 2: Just like "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​and "Schindler's List", I keep a movie that I haven't watched for many years. I always feel that this kind of classic in my heart is a perfect movie to watch when I don't know it. 3: I especially like this...

    Just look at the screenshots and you'll understand

    The scenery is beautiful, but the plot is boring, the characters do things without logic at all, just like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 1, there will always be a proud lady who doesn't know what to think. The Iron Way, the way of chivalry, is ubiquitous in the movie, but I don't see any relationship between the main story and chivalry. Little Iron Belle, who doesn't listen to persuasion, is unwilling to hide the Qingming sword or move it elsewhere. Hanmei's name is the Chinese name in the...

    【2021-mv18】- Shout and Whisper

    Very nostalgic movie, but it gave me a strong feeling. The apparent calmness is actually covering up those rotten souls. The film is silent most of the time, and the impact of red, white and black brings a strong sense of emptiness.

    Those anxious, distressed desires are large swaths of red. It's like seeing faces covered in red at the end of every scene. Like Maria, she has no self-consciousness, and she can only see her own lust and greed from the...

  • Doctor Zhivago Doctor Zhivago

    Ellen 2022-04-22 07:01:32

    This work is not just about love, or life

    I think the suffering of the Chinese people is worse than Zhivago. The film cannot be viewed solely from a personal life, nor from a love perspective alone. . . The greatness of this work compared to most of the works of that period in China lies in the contrast between the two: life, love, times, and human nature. And the movie does handle it well. . .
         From a purely human point of view, I very much agree with those who devalue this work. From a love standpoint I don't see anything to...

    In the future, whoever asks me why I gave up film major, I will present this straight-male oriental film that was moved by my own superficial reflections

  • Ellen 2023-09-21 02:39:39

    Skilled use of Chen Kexin's faction northbound methodology, concocted secular youth idol dramas, large-scale renderings, crying scenes are used to advantage, lines are short to avoid cowardice, belong to emotion-oriented movies, the rhythm problem of "July and Ansheng" is still unresolved, the overall is acceptable , a slightly worse tone locally.

  • Ellen 2023-09-20 14:43:46

    A cheesy but happy British romantic comedy. Remind yourself not to be too "Nancy", even if love deceives me, don't set limits, still keep a warm heart for life and love, open your arms and try boldly.

  • Ellen 2023-09-02 04:05:25

    It's obviously called a substitute, why is it called such a vulgar name. I didn't expect this to be the film Keanu took after he took the hacker. It's also the place where I don't understand his routines, football players, baseball coaches, and surfing and rhythmic gymnastics before. He is really interested in sports. I am interested in the movies, but unfortunately this kind of movies is difficult to make a splash.

    Is this a drama by Kim Won-seok, who directed "Signal" and "My Uncle"? ? ?

    Considering the characteristics of girls who have always been sensitive to daydreaming, those boys who like to play ambiguous with girls should die. This movie is really delicate with emotion.

    Time is the distance. It's hard to imagine that the brothers who were watching the movie would sit down and watch the old tower together. In fact, it's also difficult to sit down and watch the movie together. After the time has passed, we have grown up and our mood has changed. Before reaching the distance is always a romantic word. Before my cousin got on the bus, he may have been looking forward to his cousin's hospitality and the opportunity of a big city countless times, but when he really stood in front of his cousin and was included in the big city, To realize that it is a cold gap.

    At first, I thought we had been reduced to being mocked by India. In the final ending, I told everyone that all struggle, freedom, and love were just dancing with shackles under the domination of men. It's a seemingly good progress. The real resistance and position are far away from them. And what about us? Maybe even this dream is not the right to do. . . But isn't it what we can and should face by breaking the glass cover of this seemingly garden and breathing the poisonous air.

    Religious movies always teach people what to believe in moderation. Good bloody scenes though!

    In general, the plot is too routine

    Change the score, the stamina is too strong, I still think of the film I watched in August from time to time...

    At a very cheerful rhythm, I told a story that was not so easy to speak (both in China and India), in which the prototype characters of "Partners in India" released in the previous paragraph also appeared, and their eloquence was also very good.

    When parents' laissez-faire neglect and friend's moral kidnapping push her into the abyss of redemption, even if the outcome is righteous, it is doomed to be tragic. Although the kind-hearted she has received the trial she deserves, she can experience all kinds of traumas that cannot be erased and gossip about her return to the society, or she will be even more suffocated, can she be healed by love in her heart? The suicidal destruction of the poor man is truly the most shocking. PS. Staying up all night with my sister and paralyzing on the sofa, watching, reasoning, and complaining about the drama that I watched all night, was the only one that turned out to be lonely. I thought there would be a big reversal or an amazing hidden story. {See all aspects of everything, don’t make assumptions, don’t judge if you don’t know enough about morality}
