The Elegy of a Man of Mystical Power

As the godfather of Hong Kong action movies, John Woo has his own unique image quality. He perfectly inherits the violent aesthetics of Zhang Che's martial arts world. In modern narratives, there is an indescribable romantic and philosophical mood. In the integrity of the white pigeons and the love of the sky, his films are always full of indescribable brotherhood and tragic fate.

    Through his world, it is the unique lens language, the realism of the hail of bullets and the...

We Are Together - To Wenchuan People in Ruins

The earthquake shook Wenchuan, and it also shook the hearts of Chinese children. Saddened by the loss of our compatriots' homes and relatives, it also moved the armed police soldiers to move forward bravely, moved the volunteers' righteousness and moved the Chinese nation's unity...

But there is another aspect that we can't see or feel no matter what. , that is the life buried in the dark ruins, is it fear, despair, or strength and silence? There happens to be a movie that allows us...

skyrim concert

Feels like a place where the whole movie could be talked about

Can start directly from the hilltop concert

Large-scale interstellar music communication

Return humans, exchange explorers

Greatly satisfied in 1977, under the background of the times, the fantasy of human beings on the outer world

It feels like the French director Georges Melies in 1902

The created "Travel to the Moon" brought sensory stimulation and spiritual touch to people at that...

Dream return, death rejection

The first time in the first season -
like Shane's helpless need to coax a crazy woman. 7ED sounds great. Really TM funny! Don't make me cry when I laugh and laugh! 10ED sounds great. FUCK! The broken heart is broken again! such as strong aftershocks. After being crushed to ashes, the soul is scattered. 10,000 catastrophe after all catastrophe. I turned off the QVOD player at 2:15 in the morning and couldn't sleep.
The person walking side by side holding your hand may be turning his...

Policemen

I like Chow Yun-fat's films very much. Not only Chow Yun-fat, but also Leslie Cheung, Leslie Cheung is a pity. But the film is very good-looking. In that era, not only the appearance is high, but the action is also very handsome. The shootout film is very classic. The brotherhood inside is very nice, especially Ah Jian, played by Chow Yun-fat, gave up the restaurant that he had run for many years, and returned to Hong Kong with the Song brothers to deal with Gao Yingpei. Zijie sneaked into...

Not as Cthulhu as I thought

Speaking of which, I saw this movie on the movie recommendation on nga. I only knew that the movie poster was a seagull with one eye down, but I didn't have the urge to watch it. It was recommended that it was a Cthulhu-flavored movie. Interested to see it. How should I say, okay, let's talk about my impressions.

First of all, the acting skills of the actors are really good. At first, I was really familiar with and unfamiliar with these two actors. After...

future world

I have an impression of this film for a long time. I remember that my hometown video studio had let it go. I just watched a little bit for some reason. I started watching it at 11 o'clock last night and ended after a little bit. The child is naive, the pirate is bad but a little funny. The scenery is primitive.
As a murloc. He has a natural advantage in sea navigation. His activities in the sea. Have a strong sense of beauty. When dealing with women and children, the emotions revealed...

Nightcrawler: All beings are accomplices

Cui Yongyuan once said: "Viewing ratings" are the root of all evil.
This sentence has also become the best commentary for the movie "Nightcrawler". As a horror masterpiece that can be compared with "The Lost Lover" in 2014, "Nightcrawler" has brought us more surprises and more shocking thinking.
Unlike ordinary movies, there is almost no positive image in "Nightcrawler": the male protagonist Louis is unscrupulous to achieve the goal, the female protagonist Nina does not hesitate to...

Masterpiece!

- Gentle. The humanist eye is greatly enhanced by the musical accompaniment. The version I have seen features a wonderful score, obviously re-done, in some sort of variation on chamber music. I wonder how the original soundtrack is like.
- Bold. It has a vulgar energy that got lost later on in Hollywood. Example: the duaghter twirling her tongur while squeezing cream onto her own wedding cake.
- Atmospheric. Painstakingly attentive to details, such as the patient recording of a...

let the right one in

I couldn't understand the whole story, so I suspected that it might be Polish or something, and suddenly it seemed to be a Swedish film. Oddly enough, some English still pops up occasionally. = = I am bird language blind.
All the films with Zhengtai are my favorite.
In fact, there is no shame in saying something like "JAG TYCKER SA MYCKET OM DIG" with determination and courage.
It's just that we all love ourselves too much.
It's not scary at all, it's very warm, I believe...

How far is it from Douban 250?

The theme setting and storyline are all very good, but the actors, photography, editing, etc. are all bad.

1. There is a lack of close-up shots, and the emotions are not in place. When I watched it, I always felt that the protagonist's emotions were almost meaningless, and it was not an acting problem. After a closer look, I found that there was no close-up shot, and there was no sense of impact, which made the protagonist's follow-up motives unconvincing. .

2. Casting and...

yes, I am the driver

I was wearing a brown jacket with tight sleeves and my hands in my pockets, walking down the still cold street. Seeing this endless traffic and lights, I feel that I am him.

I am not young anymore, reaching the age of getting married and having children. However, my heart is still naive and simple. Watching the sun rise and sunset every day, the time changes, I always feel that these are related to me. My blood is boiling, but the people around me are already cold. Everyone wakes up...

Revisiting the classics, this one is really a thunderous drama to see today

6 points. But it's ugly. Feelings were given 3 stars. This movie has actually been seen on TV before, and the trilogy is being revisited recently. At that time, there was a sentiment bonus and I felt good-looking. When reviewing the first part, I felt that the plot was a bit ridiculous, but I didn’t expect the second part of the plot to be even more ridiculous and too elaborate. There are many inconsistencies and it is very speechless. For example, when I learned that my wife...

Why is "Chinatown" named after "Chinatown"

When the film "Chinatown" directed by Roman Polanski came out in 1974, it shocked the audience. The following year won the 47th Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. It is also known as the best film script in the United States in the 1970s. The story of "Chinatown" revolves around a private detective named Jack. The wife of Jack, who claimed to be a Los Angeles water conservancy engineer, asked to investigate her husband’s affair. In Jack’s investigation, the audience could find that...
