    Hong Kong Film Festival 6th, Asian Premiere 3rd cum Awards Night. Now, there are not many conscience movies like this kind of male actor showing all three o'clock and female not showing at all? ? ? ! ! ! I feel that it looks a bit ordinary under the coronation light of the Golden Bear Awards. The khaki coat of the male protagonist is so beautiful! ! ! Desires to find a sense of belonging in a foreign country but still can't fit in, which is embarrassing. In recent years, there have been too...

    This year's Berlin Film Festival's main competition unit is another film with outstanding protagonist clothes after "System Destroyer". Individual scenes are really evocative, but nothing else....

    A few scenes with a deep impression: the "Hector" security guard on the subway, the wild model male protagonist was asked to groan in his native language, the fusion class training school, and Caroline performed backstage. Immigrant themes can also be photographed like this. Sure enough, philosophy graduates are not the same. In addition, I wonder how Wang Quan'an and Rapide will comment on each other...

    Kiba in foreign countries are indeed relatively large, and the tragic stories of other countries have also become playthings for your creative enjoyment. Rapide uses his self-identity to refer to his madness, anger, and despair. He has been hacked everywhere he goes, but this is a work of "freedom" that he can do as he pleases. Different (anti-sense) Jewish (Israeli) people in Paris, classic French two men and one woman, different Marseillaises and politically difficult (immigrant) movies....

    After Zahavi scored a coquettish goal, I finally watched "Synonyms" (always reluctant to take the initiative to watch LGBT topics), and found that it was completely different except for the part of Elgar's E minor. It is rare to like this devastating role that suddenly airborne, and therefore I like this love-hate direct and abstract movie. Rejection of the native Hebrew language does not allow the rebels to integrate into an open France of liberty, equality and...

    A fable about "identity", about Jews, and about today's Europe, the departure of the veteran soldier from Israel is undoubtedly a counterattack against Israel's military and narrow national consciousness, he wants to have a brand new identity, in Paris, open the dictionary and say the most authentic French, but he is still trapped in the labyrinth, those memories of the past, with the story of Hector in "Troy", to talk about, swinging between Israeli immigrants and French, triangular...

    The pessimistic "Synonyms" about immigrant integration is the most honest, radical, in-depth, and best film on the subject in an age where identity politics must be spoken. The mainstream cosmopolitanism in the West is still secretly supporting the invisible wall, making people do the same futile efforts over and over again like flies hitting the glass. The meaningful title also alludes to the homogenization of Israeli and French positions on national issues, both of which see the individual as...

    6/10. The door has become the core concept of being present at all times. When Joav, who has nothing, goes door to door and knocks on the door for help, France, which once represented fraternity, is just a closed door to others, just like the bright yellow that Joav never took off. The coat created a gap between the dark brown-clad crowd around him, and he never managed to break through the language-constructed Western self, recklessly and overwhelmed by a low growl that couldn't break open the...

    Let me comment on the behavior of the male protagonist: C'est affreux. In the fake main storyline of this film, you can not only find the stinky ideological expression, but also see all kinds of reactions to French men and French women. The further intensification of unrealistic clichés, as well as the pile-up of elements that are closely linked to the current G-spot and the clear ambition behind them, plus one meaningless meat sale after another. The most ironic thing is that such a cheap...

    Leaving Paris (Synonymes, 2019)

    1. The Jewish people have the Feast of Tabernacles to commemorate the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness after fleeing the tyrannical hand of the Egyptians. Life in a tent has a similar meaning to "the one who lives in the heavens and the earth, all things travel against it", because tents are...

  • Emile: Playing oboe in the local orchestra is as close as can be to growing potatoes. Before we met, she'd hang out in bars and nightclubs. She was capable of fucking anyone. Students, doctors, teachers. In the elevator with a stranger.

    Yoav: Caroline?

    Emile: There was no need even to seduce her with words. She'd just tell them, come on. She humiliated them. And was humiliated. For whatever they produced with their tongues. For all the tastes of sperm. There was this one guy. Old. Gave up everything for her. A total mediocrity except for his desire.
