      Leopard girl

      1. Even by today's viewing standards, "Leopard Girl" is a masterpiece above the standard.

      2. You can say that the story narrated in this film is erotic, violent, and even has bad taste, but you cannot deny the attractiveness of its story.

      3. The director has a good grasp of the narrative rhythm, shaking off the burden step by step. Although some details do not stand up to scrutiny, the overall is good, and the story is relatively complete and reasonable.

      4. At that...

      A bit of a nauseating thriller

      I was very young when I watched this movie. Probably not very suitable for children to watch, it makes me a little sick. But it still seems to be a success, because even though it's a bit disgusting, I've finished watching it. While applauding for the movie, I also applaud myself.
      The first part is obviously a bit weird, a certain ceremony is going on, and the source of the hero and heroine lies in this. I didn't understand the real relationship between them before, but I just felt that in...

      Leopard girl

      As an extreme of black, I have to say that Leopard Girl is amazing, with agile posture, rich heart, and some framing are really good, the use of shooting skills has enabled her to successfully break away from low-level and pornography, and it was really difficult at the beginning. I understand the ending of staying in the zoo voluntarily, but when I saw another version, I just added a sentence to ask my love, are you okay, everything has been explained, staying in the zoo, she does not need...

      Conflict of passion and desire

      Passion and desire are linked together, and when placed on a monster that is neither human nor beast, it becomes a tragic symbol. When the leopard man's desire is high, he will turn into a leopard, and he must kill people in order to change back to human form. In this setting, human emotions and desires are materialized, and humans and beasts are the images of emotions and desires. If you cross the shackles of the fence, you must accept the punishment of the original sin: killing the one you...

      The heroine perfectly interprets the wildness of the leopard and the desire of the woman with her unique charm. . . Well, I just went for the song of Master Bao. This movie...

      The plot of the film is quite simple, with little ups and downs, and you can basically watch it in fast-forward! The climax is the transformation of the leopard girl! That shot is literally Beauty and the Beast incarnation! Don't look at Leopard Girl's small body and become a black panther naked, it feels like the real thing! There was also a muffled roar at the end of the black panther, which was quite miserable, looking at the one he loved, separated by humans and beasts, with an iron fence...

      The leopard is the desire man is the soul. The protagonists are so pretty. It's a bit weird ending, you can change it, but you won't let it go. Kinski stripped...

    Evaluation action

    The film is a rare and good film. As a work of the absurd school, it uses implicit methods to express the theme and naturalistic methods to express the plot. Love and life, "Liao Zhai" seems to express the flickering and flickering conflict between human nature and animal nature, and the thrilling conflict between the slow and the urgent, thus showing people the two aspects of human nature and the inevitable law  . (Review of "Film...
