    This film is a black comedy that exposes the Hollywood insider. There are 65 star cameos and supporting roles. The opening choreographer showed an eight-minute long shot with superb difficulty, and vividly reflected the characteristics of Hollywood duplicity, intrigue, and...

    Surprisingly, it is a Hollywood movie that perfectly deconstructs Hollywood. It contains the necessary elements for the success of Hollywood movies summarized by the protagonist: "suspense, jokes, violence, hope, emotion, nudity, sex and happy ending". Ultraman is good at group portraits, and long shots are still so skilled. The story is interspersed with a lot of interesting details like Easter eggs, it is full of fun to watch, and there are excellent satirical paragraphs that make you laugh...

    There is a proverb in the Chinese "Xingshihengyan": A gentleman takes revenge and waits for three years (or no longer remembers his old evil), and a villain's revenge is only in front of his eyes. For the "upstart" Ultraman, who was once expelled from "Hollywood" and is now invited to "Gosford Manor", the 1990s seems to be the golden age of his "revenge". The "Hollywood" where the crowd gathers is obviously a place that "people" both love (cool) and hate (everywhere). Activating a "movie star"...

    The joke about Hollywood must be done by Hollywood, and magically, it can still appear smart and innocent after gathering all the elements of suspense, romance, violence, sex, and happy ending. Altman's plays often have a decentralizing effect, and each distraction happens to weave the overall texture more precisely, leading to the extreme emotional...

    I watched the long mirror at the beginning twice, and it was really amazing. It may be the best movie of Ultraman. The tricks are spoofed and ironic. The pseudo-Hollywood ending is really the finishing...

    Your "idol" is not "caught" this time, but "retired".

    There is a proverb in the Chinese "Awakening the World and Constant Words": If a gentleman takes revenge, he waits for three years (or he no longer recites the old evil), and the villain takes revenge only in front of his eyes. For the "upstart" Altman who was expelled by "Hollywood" and now...

    [Film Review] The Player (1992) 8.2/10

    Robert Altman's inside-Hollywood meta-comedy THE PLAYER is shot with a shoe-string budget but reverberates with sardonic, rapier-like kicks, and affixed with a chilling frisson that defies ethics and our expectation thanks to Michael Tolkin's trenchant script which brings Tinseltown's treacherous...
