      Five-minute interpretation of human nature affects the Czech Republic

       I also just watched the last five minutes of "Citizen X" interpretation and interpretation is the biggest charm of human nature in psychology, everyone is eager to be interpreted and warmed, and this interpretation is a kind of heartfelt for others. Caring for love. The Czechs have never been truly cared for and loved by anyone in their entire life. Because of sexual obstacles and paranoid personality, they led to a horrifying and absurd murder crime. They have been missing the torrent of...

      Change to a better world with your own comfort

      Really, wow.

      This movie was so well done that I didn't know where to start my review.

      --At the beginning, the male protagonist Burakov, as a small forensic doctor, has no sense of humor. At 6 o'clock in the evening, he ordered others to go out to find clues, and he was forcibly brought into a serial murder case. It can be said that it is very strange, and I am used to seeing the Sherlock Holmes-style active search for cases. Burakov was hit by a case like this, and he seemed to...

      Rostow Butcher

      Sangsang was very fascinated when the discussion was in full swing back then, but she didn't bother to look for it. I finally saw it this time, maybe it was because of my expectations, so I was surprised but not surprised at first sight.
      Unlike most detective films, the focus is not on how to find the murderer from the clues, how the detective fights with the murderer, how the case is complicated and confusing, and how the final result is revealed; on the contrary, the film makes the...

      Citizen x

      This movie is too nb, beautiful and wonderful. It embodies the spirit of self-sacrifice of the police and the tenacity to never give up until the case is solved.
      In Russia, it is estimated that just looking for a few passers-by to play a place where they can crush other movies with their looks, but this movie did not choose characters with high looks. But the roles of the police and the colonel are naturally close and you will fall in love with them after reading it.
      Actually, that's...

      madness and decadence

      After reading "Citizen X", I found several subtitles on the Internet, but there are problems with the timeline, so I had to watch the original version directly. Fortunately, I understand most of them, but I still want to express me in English with a Russian accent. I want to cry without tears...

      This kind of film about serial crimes can actually be made very compact and thrilling, bringing people a great impact on audio and visuals, but the theme of this film is not the case....

      It's too sloppy, and it's also easy to hack the Soviet Union. . . Totally American narrative. . . Didn't do any homework. . . Replacing the bureaucracy with the FBI doesn't matter at all. ....

      After reading it, I feel very heavy. Explore the bureaucracy of the entire former Soviet Union in a TV movie that couldn't be cheaper. The filming is very rigorous, and the main creators have made efforts to restore the real Soviet society. The Soviet Union in it is exactly the same as the current...

      Although it is a TV movie, even though it was made by Americans in the Soviet Union, the atmosphere and actors are given a very high level, no less than "The 12th House". The ten-year murder coincides with the political and economic transformation of the Soviet Union, and the way the police handle cases is also constantly changing. At the same time, the two lines of police detectives and killers infiltrated the flogging of the Soviet regime and its...

      The story is complete and orderly, the tone is dark and the soundtrack is calm and the atmosphere feels very Soviet. The design of several killing scenes and the state of the corpse is very restrained, leaving room for imagination is actually more terrifying than the intuitive blood. [The American filming of the Soviet Union turned out to be the original sin of this film, and they said that there are black and Soviet serial murderers in the United States. Even if the local Soviet people who...
