    Full text spoilers, be careful

    It's such an amazing and boring story that I almost fell asleep watching it.

    The heroine was in a coma in a car accident and was inexplicably taken back to a dungeon by a man. The man claimed that there was a war on the ground and the air was polluted, and normal people could not survive. He happened to meet the heroine who was in the car accident. Out of kindness, he saved her and took her underground. .

    The heroine was skeptical, but she saw her time and time again and...

    Innocent animals, calling for both love and non-attack

    A very moving film, very tense 90 minutes.
        "Ice Age 1", I watched it when I was in college, in English class; I read it again today, it seems to be completely new, and it is still joyful, and at the end, there are small tears. Compared with the "Ice Age 4" I watched in the cinema today, it has quite high-tech 3D, very mature dazzling skills, and beautiful pictures, but looking back at 1, it feels better to return to the basics.
        The first one is simple, with simple characters...

    Review Jurassic World

    It's easy to make a blockbuster movie these days, as long as you have gimmicks and nostalgia, this movie belongs to the latter. I believe that many people achieved this box office record when the children of the year turned into middle-aged people now with their wives and children to watch.
      The movie itself is a very ordinary commercial film. The saddest thing is that after watching it, the audience talked about the unimportant plot topics such as the heroine wearing high-heeled boots...

    film review

    The story starts flat, and climaxes within ten minutes. The misoperation of the protagonist led to the discovery of the hidden victim, which caused an indelible shadow in his career. The standard opening is the desire to promote first, and the next development is tacit. The protagonist will overcome the psychological obstacles and successfully complete the task in the process of rescuing another victim. When the protagonist recognizes the man on the other side of the phone, I believe that...

    At dawn and dusk there is not only darkness, but also a lot of light

    After reading "Old Man in Mountains and Rivers", it is obvious that Jia Zhangke has changed this time. Although "Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" still reflects the current situation of coal miners' living conditions, high-level corruption and bottom-level ignorance and other social problems like previous films, he did not spend too much time on these "old" issues, but shifted his focus to "emotional" "superior. This changed the tone of the whole film a lot. Under the leadership of "love", the...

    Does an award-winning film have to be praised? It sounds like there is no "cultural divide"!

    The music is very nice, and the praise goes to Music.

    How should I put it, it has all the boring, uninteresting features of literary films. The characters that appear the most are the salesmen of two Party gifts. The most common place is the bar. It would be tedious to see them appearing and appearing all the time. Therefore, the director disrupted the characters and locations, which seemed to be a montage, and the audience would not feel so boring when watching the movie....

    Detective's storytelling skills are great

    I watched the movie last night and it wasn't amazing.
    At the beginning of the story, it tells about the murder of a little girl and a family, which makes people guess that the later story is related to this,
    and then all the protagonists take the Orient Express. The detective interrogates the guests on the train one by one and finally announces the answer.
    Although there are many foreshadowings in the plot, all the final answers are based on the detective's restoration or...

  • Metropolis Metropolis

    Workers and capitalists finally shook hands and made peace? The regulator is the son of the capitalist.

    The first silent film I watched in my life, I was shocked! Horrified! It's really cool to watch at 2x speed. When I watch movies, I always use the year to compare the social state of China at that time, because my western history is too bad. The metropolis built by the big capitalists is prosperous, and behind the prosperity is a group of workers who are like robots operating real machines. They live in the underground city, dark, and work ten hours a day, repeating the same actions. This is...

    between lies and truth

    This is a somewhat offbeat Iranian film: hand-held camerawork, ditching the soundtrack, and a lot of dialogue to advance the plot, with a touch of the Danes and Ken Loach; but it's a typical Iranian film, still keeping its focus The precious spirit of reality. The cultural contradiction between the East and the West, the moral dilemma between religion and modern society, the alienation and misunderstanding of interpersonal relationships in society and the family, and the resulting anger and...

    Um, am I the only one who feels this way.

    It's okay to watch this movie in a movie theater. effect or something. But basically people who watch the plot are confused.
    My personal understanding is that in fact, the five girls are all schizophrenia of the heroine alone.
    At the moment when the mental hospital turned into a nightclub, it was already clear that the heroine had already begun to go into a panic. Or the brain is not normal. . . . Because even if it is really a nightclub, the boss man doesn't need to wear eyeliner. If...

    Redemption of liberty and soul

    And after more than ten years, its charm has not diminished. What attracts us to it? Some say it's because it reflects "human resilience". Indeed, with a small hammer, in the past 20 years, in a fascist prison with extremely strict personal control, a small tunnel for escape was dug (perhaps it is more appropriate to call a small tunnel by knocking out, the hammer is too small ). Isn't this a manifestation of human tenacity? However, I think this plot is obviously dramatic. This is just the...

    Life is romantic to the extreme - "New York on a Rainy Day"

    Gatsby and Ashley's relationship has changed from a couple to a close friend. The seemingly simple love has changed since the two came to New York for the weekend. Ashley experienced three different men in one day. , From whether the mental and physical emotions have changed, in Gatsby's view, this is not a sufficient and necessary condition for the relationship between the two. Gatsby also falls in love with others. This movie tells us that the separation of two people is...

    Weak Emotional Muscle Pieces

    For action movies, I usually can't write too emotional movie reviews, because the action is too tough, the plot is too tough, the emotion is too reluctant, it's still the previous formula, it's the previous routine, I don't know where to start, but I like it. In that part, my favorite action movie so far is the Fast and the Furious series. It has flesh and blood. Although I like Jackie Chan very much, I don't like many of the movies he made. It's a typical feeling of loud thunder and little...

    It's an epic.

    Such a masterpiece, I've only watched it now, annoyed...

    Watching American dramas, I always like to compare them with domestic dramas of the same type. After watching this drama, I found that there is really no comparison at all. , lines, role modeling, set design, costume design, refraction of meaning, sublimation of the theme, thinking about human nature, etc., can be said to be the pinnacle of the level. There are also well-made war dramas such as "My Leader, My Regiment" and...

    do you want to take the shuttle

    Butch opened his eyes slightly and saw that the child was looking at him. He couldn't see anything around him, only the sunlight, the child's face and the beautiful postcard in the child's hand. He should feel relieved that his wishes are passed on.

    If a person dies, and a person who understands himself is nostalgic for himself, it can be regarded as the only gratification, and perhaps this is not lonely. I've always thought that the greatest fear of death is going alone.

    Er misses homeland very much... There are too many small logic problems, every episode has them, and the logic of the Eleven massacre itself is not tenable, killing secrecy is the lowest method, in fact, it was still very far from the truth at that time. Far away... So the more tense and fake the story based on the unreasonable premise is... Of course, the rhythm behind it is still very good, otherwise it will not be read in one go, but unfortunately the ending is too sloppy. The male protagonist's acting skills are too weak, and he doesn't have half the skills of the female netizen... In short, I repeat, homeland, I miss her very much.

    The first movie I watched in the new year turned out to be a bad movie.

    Mainly through the experience of the teenager Stet, I learned about the clips of ABC's usual singing practice and the school's appearance. There are no subtitles, and I don't really understand the absolute sound of the protagonist, and I can't remember the names of several classical pieces, but just listening to this children's chorus and the splendor, the colorful glazed church feels so healing. Of course the ending was bright for Stet. But I really feel sorry for the impetuous and snobbish Americans when I heard that the ABC group was destroyed. find the original sound

    A good movie, although the pace is a bit slow and the soundtrack is not flattering. .

    There is no introspection on the old and small road, is this black and white match of the background of this era funny?

    There is a tear mole under the right eyelid, and the expressionless female pig's foot has matured over age after the bone-cutting pain, which is the last way to cherish the memory of youth. Sullivan and Camille are the same, one wants freedom and the other is love. Their collision may spark sparks, but after that, tomorrow? Camille, like all girls, needs more security. When the old lover's hand swam around her, it was more like playing with one of his old toys skillfully.

    It is indeed a movie that Orson Welles has watched more than 30 times. The deep focus, low-angle photography, and lighting still seem to have lost its charm. The balance between the various elements in the movie makes the film narrative smooth. Several characters with different personalities are played in angular and full of dramatic tension. Among them, the drunk doctor played by Thomas Mitchell is the most dramatic and the most scene-stealing.

    Turkish drama. At the end of the play, a few Turkish special forces, with a few small pistols, the biu biu regiment wiped out a dozen American squads. The U.S. military still has characters like local warlords, which is a bit ridiculous. Some bridges, such as torture of prisoners, are piled up to pose for pictures. Beautifying Muslim chiefs, beheading journalists, roadside bombs, and human bombs are all facts. Overall, there are still 3 stars at the level of 2006.
