The Fast and the Furious - Goodbye, Warrior

1. Another bigger box-office bomb
If last year's "Transformers 4" hit a blockbuster of the level that surpassed the box office in the United States, the industry was shocked, then the phenomenal box-office performance of "Fast and Furious 7" was completely It has proved to the whole world the madness of the Chinese film market. Whether it is the 400 million premiere box office, breaking the long-standing global Monday box office record, or the astonishing speed of hitting 1 billion in five...

Like Stranger Things!

This American drama with a child as the protagonist can be said to continue the creative style of the first film. Because it is a child, there is no lack of childish naivety and humor in the film. For example, because a friend has a new female friend and wants to She was sometimes jealous and unhappy when she joined the four-person team. Eleven was angry because the director did not fulfill his promise and found out that the director deceived her and "slammed the door and furniture" (of...

This is not a love story; this is a story about love.

In extreme environments, women's soft and watery character can enable them to adapt to the changes around them and survive. "Better to be broken than broken tiles" is a kind of noble and complete beauty, but who can say "would be better for broken tiles than broken pieces of jade" is a kind of incompleteness? This may be because under different circumstances, our moral reference lines are different.

When they meet, they ask each other...

In 8 years, what did Hou Hsiao-hsien prepare for "Nie Yinniang"?

Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Assassin Nie Yinniang" is one of the most popular martial arts films in recent years. It took 8 years to shoot and cost 90 million yuan, and the film won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival. Very people have room for imagination, and then Hou Dao unanimously pursued the truth. In order to make this film, they spent a lot of time looking through the materials, and they went to Japan, Taiwan, and the mainland to film scenes. The hardships are obvious....

Delicate Ang Lee's Delicate Wedding Banquet

Ang Lee is indeed a very restrained director. An artist who pays attention to people's heart will inevitably create extraordinary works. His shots and lines are quite meticulous and delicate, without the slightest roughness.
"The Wedding Banquet" is not inferior to "Brokeback Mountain", and even to a certain extent, exceeds the connotation of "Brokeback Mountain". Perhaps that too strong Chinese-style feelings are incomprehensible to Westerners. This film is not only about one aspect of...

My friends, where are you waiting for me?

The second time "you are squashing me" was stabbed in tears. At the beginning, I knew that it was full of routines, but I still couldn't control the mess I was moved by. I thought that most people would think that the film was a bit deliberate and hypocritical, and the animals also looked a little stupid, and the ratings might not be very high, but I was really impressed when I came to give a four-star rating and found that the film still attracted a lot of people. resonance.

My...

It's all for Tom.

Since the winter vacation, I have been wanting to go to the cinema to watch a movie, but for various reasons, I couldn't do it. Finally, I went to the cinema at the end of the winter vacation, watched the movie, and chose this play.
  Before entering the theater, I already knew that this play was starring Tom Cruise. At the beginning of the film, it described five innocent people killed by snipers, but they were quickly caught. At first I thought The black policeman is the protagonist, and...

black

The plasma that filled the whole article did not give me the feeling of being too violent, perhaps because the red blood did not appear many times. Coupled with a large number of external voices, it seems to always remind you that you are just a bystander, so it is even less able to experience the so-called violent aesthetics of the masters.
    Basically, this film is three stories, each with its own main line, only some overlap in secondary characters, so it is a bit far-fetched to say...

novel

Most of the time, there are no shark shots. In fact, the atmosphere created by music, lighting, suppressed space underwater, and exhausted oxygen is very good, and the cost will be much less.

The shark shot can almost be said to be the biggest flaw in the film. Not only the eyes are degraded, but also the physical skills are estimated to be degraded. It gives the impression that it is a plastic model specimen or something.

At the end, I think the great white shark is too...

Return of the dead, no need to seek knowledge

Every drama has a villain, divided into good and evil, seeking cause and effect. But the most attractive thing about this drama for me is that in the process of the author making the audience reverse infer the psychology of the characters through the relationship and behavior of the characters, I gradually lost interest in the detection of causes and effects, because when everything is good When evil cannot be judged and everything good or bad cannot be judged, the cause and...

Electra complex and growth

It's been a long time since I had these many thoughts, especially my favorite low-budget movie!
I planned to write a film review, but I wrote 8,230 words.
Only the last part is posted:

Fa shark's acting skills are overwhelming; the girl is fresh and natural, with a lack of detail and level, but it does not affect the viewing of the movie.
The whole film is 123 minutes long. If you watch it separately, about 2/3 parts of the first 84 minutes tell a hormonal but erotic...

"Booming Heart" is pure and ignorant

Beating Heart is directed by Rob Reiner, based on the novel of the same name by Wendellen van der Annan. The film follows Julie Baker's devout belief in three things: the purity of trees, the hygienic eggs from the chickens she raises in her backyard, and the fact that one day she will kiss Bryce Roski. This is a simple and direct story, but because the director is very subtle when dealing with details, the subtlety touches people's hearts and has strong positive energy. Although it is an...

Breaking up men and women is teaching people how not to break up

Why is it translated into this, I still feel a little warm after reading it. Finally, I met on the street and said that I hadn't seen it for a long time.


Love is always changing in daily life. It is difficult for men and women to think in sync, but when I think of meeting someone, I will meet with you. Wouldn't it be exciting for him to open up a small world together? Although I know that the road ahead will be full of hardships, but it's great to have someone together and have...

something more precious than love

Without reading any introduction, the movie began to suppress the free dark blue and snow white, making people's fantasy about this movie only stay at the level of a girl who chased the wind. Ten minutes later, the friend who had just greeted him from a distance in the empty snow-covered pasture died in front of him because of an accident. The tragedy happened unbelievably. The colors and settings, combined with the dissonance in the protagonist's family, can lead to the misinterpretation of a...

A movie about miracles, but I always feel that something is wrong. . .

The movies recommended by S must be watched well, but I didn't expect it to be so innocent this time. .

Beautiful female lead, lovely male lead, and beautiful male second. A somewhat whimsical but delightful project.

What really makes me feel that the miracle comes is the moment when the hero returns and the heroine embraces warmly. I still remember the heroine crying and saying "I haven't had time to get to know him yet". I think, in our life, there are also many people who...
