      Stolen heart

      I like the section where the big liar teaches the little liar, where the big liar is gentlemanly, and the little liar shows scornful eyebrows everywhere. I also think that female liars have a higher level of deception. I think that liars who are more advanced than cheating, cheating, deceiving money and deceiving sex feel very happy after being cheated. That's why the three swindlers walked together. It's fun. The explanation is that things gather together, and people divide into groups. I...

      2016.11.04 "Scammers Stink More"

      This 1988 movie that was bigger than me is really strong. This movie is really good. It’s a bit longer than two hours, but there are many funny things that I don’t think are pitted at all. This drama is about these two. The big liar who specializes in deceiving women met by accident, and then he bet because of a female liar who was in the bank. In the end, no one got the benefit and the female liar returned with a full load. In the end, it was really the finishing touch, but an experienced...

      Women are inherently fragile and always win.

      It seems to be a human virtue to sympathize with the weak. No matter when and where, we will cherish those old young women and children. Perhaps ethically speaking, if we hurt these people, we will always feel unbearable.
      And the more pitiful the appearance, the purer the soul that moves the liar, then everything will be a scam.
      Life is like this. The purer things are, the more they are full of copper odor, the more sweet as honey, and the more hidden murderous intent. Why is the...

      Classics in comedy

      I like this film very much. It satisfies my childhood mischief. The stimulation and satisfaction are like the expectation, tension, temptation, and other complex emotions that can be solved in the first few minutes of the "Three Urges".
      The whole film is very lively, the plot is compact, and the trap design is clever. I guess the director and screenwriter originally did this, haha, it's really fun. Especially in the latter part, the magnanimity and calmness of the two male protagonists'...

      Can it be considered a classic?

      In real life, when oneself or a friend sets up a trick for someone to be deceived, they will grit their teeth and want to find someone to beat. However, when the scam is represented on the screen, you will take your identity when you watch it, hoping to be a liar The main
      thing is to succeed in the end. The mystery of watching the scam lies in unexpected surprises. An excellent director will make you unable to guess the result, even foreshadowing. This
      film can be described with...

      "I made millions last year, but 50,000 yuan is more interesting!!" Haha! A very classic comedy in the 1980s, although the gimmick of being one-foot-high and one-foot-high is not new, it is still fun to watch, and because of the wonderful performances of the three actors, the old man Michael Cain is really...

      Full marks! It satisfies my childhood mischievous psychology, the kind of stimulation and satisfaction that can be solved immediately, such complex emotions as anticipation, tension, temptation, and so on. The whole film is very fun and dripping, the plot is compact, and the trap design is clever. Plus the ending of this movie is amazing! It can be said to be the icing on the...

    Movie plot

    Freddy ( Steve Martin ) and Lawrence ( Maurice Joseph Micklewhite ) are two playboys who have been wandering in the "Jian Hu" for many years. Their goal is to deceive their feelings by lonely and golden single women. Profit from it. In a sense, Freddy and Lawrence are also old colleagues, so the fight between them has never stopped. A girl named Janet ( Glenne Headly ) appeared in front of two love liars. Her beauty and sexy quickly...

    Movie quotes

    • Freddy Benson: My grandmother is wonderful. She has a laugh that can make the birds sing. But she's been quite ill lately and the hospital bills have been adding up. I just wanna do my share. It's kinda tough for me because I was never very good with money. I just seem to take what the Red Cross pays me and I give it right back to them. But I am going to help my gram-gram. She is the one who taught me it is better to be truthful and good - than to not.

    • Freddy Benson: Listen. We're the weaker sex. Men don't live as long as women. We get more heart attacks, more strokes, more prostate trouble. I say it's time for a change. I say let them give us money. Let's live off them for a while. That probably shocks a guy like you, right?

      Lawrence Jamieson: Well, it's rather a revolutionary thought.

    • Freddy Benson: Look what I did in the dining car! She gave me 100 francs. That's like, uh, 20 bucks! Do you have any idea what it feels like to take a woman for 20 bucks?

      Lawrence Jamieson: No, I haven't. I'm afraid it's a little out of my class.
