      For the unfortunate, I wish less comments and more understanding

      Judging Bill by normal social standards, he really is someone you don't want in your life, he's not likable, he causes a lot of pain to himself and others, he's not a model of immaculate morals, he The freewheeling, unconventional play of cards makes people want to stay away. Even because of his failure, his genius idea will be evaluated as a very lofty fantasy. Today, he may be a person like Musk, but Musk has his luck and the ability to grasp luck. He had the luck that many...

      How did his unhappy childhood ruin him?

      How did his unhappy childhood ruin him?

      The movie "Lykke-Per (2018)" once again reminds us of the importance of a happy childhood to happiness in life. The turning point of the male protagonist from being lucky to unfortunate is actually his divorce from the female protagonist. So what led him to make such an extreme decision? I agree with this view: "Lucky people are healed by childhood, and unfortunate people are healed by childhood." So how should we explain it to "Lucky...

      A good show to watch for two nights

      The male protagonist himself forced the "lucky man" back to the original place step by step, and made me want to shout while watching the film that you can't treat those who love you like this, and you can't be so arrogant when the noble people think you are valuable. It resonates even more with the humble inner vanity and appearance branded by the generally poor childhood and adolescence of the post-60s generation of my (our) generation. Every shot of the heroine is full of affection, why...

      sick moan

      I don't know what he's fighting. The talent, the family, the woman who loves him, and even the opportunity at his fingertips have all been destroyed by himself. A woman who loves herself and herself can accompany her all her life. Isn't it worth abandoning your poor self-esteem temporarily? Isn't a life-changing opportunity worth throwing away your poor self-esteem for a while? Even for your woman you should be appropriately realistic. But what I see is not giving, but selfishness. For my...

      "Lucky Piel" is not lucky: the background of the times that cannot be ignored

      The film is adapted from the masterpiece of the same name by the Nobel Prize-winning Danish writer Henrik Pontoppidan. The original work, which was created between 1898 and 1904, has a strong autobiographical tone, and the author created the character Piel almost based on his own experience in the first half of his life. The novel was translated into Chinese in the 1990s, but the first English translation was not available until 2010.

      For such a representative work of a...

      I really want to read the original after reading it. When I checked the 8 volumes of the original book, it is no wonder that the movie was 3 hours long, and it just finished the story smoothly. The intertwining of the individual and the environment is not well represented, and Denmark at that time should have undergone a modern transformation, but the focus of the film is only constantly placed on the childhood that the protagonist cannot...

      Some people say that the male lead is a scumbag, but I don't think he's a scumbag. It's just that he's too honest with himself. There's nothing wrong with that. If he's doing it for Jacob's property, why not wait until he gets married before getting a divorce? ? That's scumbag, but he broke the engagement in a very unstable mood. After having a child with Inge, life was not bad, but he still felt that he was not at ease. It was not until he lived alone and isolated from the world that he felt...

    Evaluation action

    "Lykke-Per" is very good at the director's skills. The director has adapted a long, smooth, elegant and profound story into a work that can resonate with the audience. In the interpretation of the plot, the director has a moderate, peaceful perspective of God, telling the process of finding the heart, knowing the true self and experiencing others. Under the lens of the director's powerful narrative ability, those interlaced eyes,...
