      Show inner emotions with car image

      Watching a movie can not only see the story on the surface, but also "disassemble" the plot elements and images in it. The meaning of the image is floating and flowing, so the process of reorganizing the image can gain a new understanding. No one would doubt that this is a movie about young people's emotions. It runs through family and friendship and love, describing individual frustration and resistance. The core of the movie is not the weirdness of "car killing", but the...

      fail

      After reading the novel, I feel that the failed
      film has nothing to watch except for the beautiful red Nemesis
      . The image of Lu Bei in the novel has been weakened to the point where it is worth beating (his never-ending anger, his never The determination to repent), I think the actors of Ah Ni and Shan Nisi are okay, but Li is really disappointed. The nostrils are too big and the person is too much like those beach girls. It is a failure. In the film, the shaping of the people all...

      People car love! It's too cool, especially when the car covered in fire chases down the villain at night, as if the "Ghost Rider" is possessed! Sitting in the car, the male protagonist is like the wide-eyed Adjani in "The Enchanted". A car like jealousy, coupled with the theme of school bullying, the idea is very good. Once again, Carpenter managed to give the story more movement with a quirky...

    • Will Darnell: Ya know Pepper, ya can't polish a turd.

    • Rudolph Junkins: The kid was cut in half Arnie, they had to scrape his legs up with a shovel.

      Arnie Cunningham: Well, isn't that what you're supposed to do with shit? Scrape it up with a little shovel?

      Rudolph Junkins: Don't get smart with me, son. Your girlfriend is a hell of a lot more convincing than you are.

      Arnie Cunningham: [laughs] She's not my girlfriend. And since when is it against the law to fix up your own car when somebody else busts it up, huh?

      Rudolph Junkins: ...since never.

      Arnie Cunningham: Then you get off my back.

      Rudolph Junkins: [pause] Okay.
