    It is not so much that I hate the casting of Theo, but I really can't bear the sense of separation between consciousness and objective existence. Donna Tate's textual control is reflected in her detailed descriptions and precise and transparent word choices, which lure you in, but you see Theo is just your Theo, your self-projection. So when I saw Theo in the movie, it was as if someone who had never looked in a mirror saw himself. Thinking he was the savior Harry Potter, he looked in the...

    what a let down. In preparation for watching this movie, I read nearly 800 pages of novels in a week, and I was super excited and looking forward to it. As a result, what a piece of shit was this filming, and why did all the actors, no matter how big or small, lose their acting skills? (I won't talk about the small pippa's facial paralysis acting skills, several powerful leading actors did not perform their a...

    A film with an excellent cast but lacklustre. The two-and-a-half-hour running account of the movie does not waste the plot of the original book at all, which fully reflects the mediocrity and incompetence of the director and screenwriter. The tone of the first-person self-narrative is replaced by the teenager in the exquisite picture, and the original delicate and insightful perspective magnifies the self-indulgent of posturing. The psychological growth of the novel Lisio, the halo of art from...

    There's a sort of posturing and self-movement that pervades it, but I should have felt it from the trailer. How did the male lead not have screen chemistry with so many colleagues? This is the case from the baby driver. The whole story made me sick to my...

    After reading it, I just want to sigh that Finn is so handsome, enchanting and beautiful! (Especially watching this film after finishing IT 2 for the second time is a stark contrast. As soon as he appeared, I obviously heard a lot of female audience whispering and giggling ((The point is wrong. The movie is really good........

    2019.9.10 and Qingqiu @Brattle. Show in advance. rather disappointed. Countless unnecessary flashbacks are contrived and deliberate. The middle part is especially messy, and nothing is expressed clearly. I feel that the story is a good story, and there are problems with the screenwriter and director, which is a pity.

    Only with hindsight did I realize that this is an adaptation of a novel that I brought back to China during the summer vacation but I haven't read it yet... The original novel got Pulitzer. But, shooting is not the same thing. The pictures are beautiful, and the characters are also more beautiful/handsome. There are also some small surprises, such as goosebumps, when the goosebumps should be reported on time. But the logic of the overall narrative style and the lack of acting skills make such a...

    I haven't seen the original and it's pretty cool. The story is also very clear. The base friend of the male protagonist thought he was a jerk at first, but then he suddenly became powerful...

    1. People will die, but things can live forever, carrying the struggle and liberation of generations. 2. The male protagonist's fiancee and the young love look alike, and patients with face blindness need to rely on hairstyles. But when my mother finally showed her face, I finally understood how necessary and ingenious this resemblance was. 3. The film is very beautiful and has a strong literary character. You Ann is really a literary young...

    The Goldfinch (The Goldfinch, 2019)

    1. For a movie like The Goldfinch (2019), where the plot line is out of line and confusing, it is best to put aside the symbolism and function of the painting and return to the theme: self-seeking. I would look at it this way: this is a story about the protagonist who desperately wants to get rid...
