      "City of Lies" Americans expose themselves

      I admire the courage of American films to expose themselves. On the whole, the American police generation is not as good as the first generation. Many western movies talk about how fair the police are and how they abandon evil and promote good. There are more and more police officers whose law is the air, and the social state of racial discrimination still fills the entire United States. On the other hand, in other countries, there are many self-revealing films, such as Spanish films, Danish...

      The first anniversary of the end of the college entrance examination

      After thinking about it for a long time, half a year has passed since I watched this film, but I decided to add a comment. When I watched it, I had a fever, not serious but uncomfortable, because I liked Depp or stayed up late to read the whole story. After watching it, you can say frankly that this is not an excellent film, and the reason for the postponement is obvious. The quality is not good, but I didn't expect it to be forgotten after so long.

      This story, Russell's life, is like...

      The movie version of "The Wire"

      Note: I am also drunk when the editing of this film is chaotic. I can judge the time from the protagonist’s beard and clothes in the bad quality of 720p, and I will mark the time point for you every time I flash back. I think it’s less than 100. Is addition and subtraction difficult?

      Perhaps the only difficulty in understanding is that for people who do not understand the American judicial system and rap culture at all, or even about the...

      The movie has more depictions of human nature, which is more warm than pure crime dramas.

      Conflict of East and West Rap

      On September 7, 1996, the rapper who had set the "Guin's World Record" with the highest sales, Tu Pac (2Pac), the representative figure of West Coast rap, was shot in Las Vegas, four times in the body, and He died six days later at the age of 25. But only half a year later, on March 9, 1997, MTV was rated as the third greatest MC in history, and the representative figure of East Coast rap,...

      Americans don’t like stories like this

      This is a sad story, a painful accusation, and tenacious persistence. Americans don't like stories like this. They definitely like Marvel, Forrest Gump, and some like "The Lament of Richard Jewell", because all movies have a good ending, a positive ending, and a conclusive conclusion. But this movie does not. It is not responsible for producing such things. On the contrary, it produces things that most movies do not have.

      The Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles...

      After watching it, it's pretty good, ups and downs and sadness, and the acting is online. Making this kind of film is definitely a Korean film, which is more brave and tearing, and the United States is inferior, with a strong sense of superiority, and it cannot be put...

      Depp and Whittaker's performances can be said to be in place, but the director's ability limits the possibility of further improvement of the film as a...

      The storytelling and photography are a bit frizzy, a good story, but not neat. Depp doesn't drink anything, and his performance seems...

      It's still racial discrimination, bureaucratic interaction and other issues. Russell was washed away by reality and colleagues step by step. This deep performance was very stable, but unfortunately the story was a bit fragmented and...

      The subject matter is explosive, and the facts are amazing. There are two big stars. Depp's performance is also good in his entire career, but it was wasted by the screenwriter. Not even being able to go to the theater can explain a lot of problems. Regarding the case itself, such a hot case cannot be solved, it may be that there are too many interests...
