    I don't want to talk about the tone the movie is trying to bring us to the movie. I like the dialogue. There is absolutely no logic. Meeting in the car. who cares in such a...

    I didn't understand some of the dialogue in the language problem, but I still guessed the ending that ended abruptly. . A little work....

    A/ Cronenberg does not set up some kind of "primitive" picture for the characters to look back on. He only allowed them to distort quietly, "piercing" the "normality" with a mechanical, cold, even dislocated and broken poetic quality, so as to deeply depict the rigid density that is absolutely condensed in the present. This extremely tactile character construction method tries to touch the outside of the uncontrollable character, and the audience's eyes are drawn by this thread and fall into...

    Cronenberg's film is indeed very small, but it also has the characteristics of the director, a lot of dialogue, extreme color scenes, the poor and the rich, haircuts, sex, and that because of the bankruptcy of the renminbi, a billionaire teenager one...

    Car Shocks, Rats, Cream Cakes and Dying Capitalism

    I came to watch this Cannes film with great hope and ended up with great disappointment and doubts. I wanted to give it two stars, or should I give it three stars?
    Is Ke Wei's imagination and interpretation ability degraded? The director who is best at visualizing fictions that are generally...

    Forehead……

    Hey, because of Mao, some people say that Cronenberg's film is a mystery, pretending to be forced to the end. Wasn't Cronenberg always this way? I feel pretty good instead. The composition is unique and thoughtful. Movie content is like writing a paper in the lines. The flavor is exuded in the...

Cosmopolis quotes

  • Elise Shifrin: You were just in Singapore.

    Eric Packer: What makes you say that?

    Elise Shifrin: I can smell it. Every country in the world has its own distinct odor and yours is of Singapore.

    Eric Packer: Then would you kindly relate to me just what Singapore is supposed to smell like?

    Elise Shifrin: Fish mostly, and sickeningly sweet air-freshener.

    Eric Packer: I was at a fish-market, the one located on 48th street, sandwiched between the used tissue dealership and the asbestos teddy-bear factory.

    Elise Shifrin: No, you weren't; you smell specifically of Singaporean fish. I know singaporean fish when I smell them... Dinosaurs.

    Eric Packer: They have blueberry pie in Singapore. A uniquely American dish. There's cream in blueberry pie, but it's more often referred to as slurry. Slurry is what cream is called when it's being harbored in pie-crust. I generally prefer to simply refer to it as pie-filling as I find words like slurry to be most unappetizing.

    Elise Shifrin: I need a haircut.

    Eric Packer: Rats have been used as currency ever since the extinction of the hamster. This is the only explanation for how Jerry Lewis became so well respected in France.

    Elise Shifrin: France smells of shower currents.

    Eric Packer: I didn't ask you what France smelled like.

    Elise Shifrin: Whether or not asked the question is irrelevant as I have already informed you of the answer. There is no way to reverse this. Your best hope for survival is to eliminate the future for only when the future has been eradicated we can ever hope to reincarnate the past as a means of elongating the present. Then, and only then can mankind have the ideal place in which to store his pet rock collection.

    Eric Packer: I used to love brown rice.

    Elise Shifrin: You have just reminded me; I've yet to start writing the speech I promised Sara Palin.

    Eric Packer: Since when were you ever a speech writer?

    Elise Shifrin: It started when I was a bluejay still attending kindergarten at Harvard. I tiptoed through the tulips exactly the way Tiny Tim instructed. Latter it would be my misfortune to find out that he never actually write those lyrics. The betrayal is too much to bear and yet I remain emotionless - Haircuts.

    Eric Packer: Fuck haircuts! It's the mighty pomegranate that contains much needed antioxidants... Potatoes!

  • Eric Packer: This is good. We're like people talking. Isn't this how they talk?
