      The monologue is the essence of the film

      "The Light Dies", I can't describe the feeling after watching this film. An old detective with eight years to live and slowly fading memories, unable to control his emotions, in order to find and kill the enemy Banier twenty-two years ago. The story is not compact, but it can be seen that some policies are dark, and there is a long monologue in the film, with swear words attacking vulgar politics, which is quite exciting! What the authorities did with the so-called closed Banier incident was to...

      Maybe this movie is not the type you want to see, but I don't think it's a bad movie

      In any case, the original 172 minutes was cut into 94 minutes, and the protest against the American system can still be clearly seen in the whole film. The entire security system of the country exists entirely for money, not for citizens. Cage clearly It depicts that in his whole life, he wants a sinful person to get the punishment he deserves. Imagine how many people in a big country in the East have committed various unknown crimes under the protection of the country, but still go unpunished....

      2014 Top 10 Best Movies of the Black American System!

      In 2014, I watched 177 North American movies in chronological order, and now I have sorted them all out, and picked out 19 movies that are against the American system for everyone to enjoy. There are many inaccuracies, please bear with me!

      1. Light Die 6.9
      Although the film has a score of only 6.9 out of 19 films, and it does not even reach the recommended level of 7 points or more, it deserves to be the first place in the best black American system in 2014. Why do you say this,...

      the deceased

      First of all, maybe it wasn't because of the director's cut that I watched. I really didn't quite understand what the film was telling. The dialogue was messy, and the plot lacked tension. I closed the player many times, but after thinking about Cage, I insisted on watching it again. A story of revenge, without infiltrating, without escaping, and finding someone almost like traveling. The final shootout was deliberately played so that Cage could find a reason to kill the terrorist. It was so...

      written before the movie came out

      At the end of July 2013, at the New York Film Festival, Paul Schrader revealed his next film plan, with Cage, called "Dying Of The Light".

      The film, written by Schrader in 2010, was originally set to be directed by Nicolas Winding Refn at the end of that year, starring Harrison Ford and Channing Tatum, and later due to Harrison's opposition to the protagonist's final death, and Refn and Schrader Thought there was no room for communication at this point, so the plan eventually fell...

      Maybe Cage didn't make a bad movie that year. There is nothing to choose from in the acting, and the plot is really without passion. I don't know why the director arranged for the male protagonist and the supporting actress to kiss, saying that they had a leg and they didn't start it. Even if this scene was cut off, it would not affect the plot. This film could have had no female characters. When the end was about to end, the enemy he was clearly facing was let go again, and he had to wait for...

      Cage's show business crisis is partly due to his hairstyle crisis. The root cause of the hairstyle crisis is that he wrongly evaluated the image suitability of the sparse and high forehead with the sideburns and the back without layering. Obviously, this hairstyle is more suitable for Hackman with crow's feet, small slit eyes and a smirk, rather than Cage, an idol star with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a sense of...

    Evaluation action

    "Dying of the Light" is one of the best black American institutional films of 2014. The film itself is a product of persecution by the American system. First of all, the entire film is 172 minutes long and was forced to be cut into 94 minutes, which is nothing compared to those domestic films that have been cut for three or five minutes. As a result, director Paul Schrader condemned this behavior many times on the Internet until he...

    Movie quotes

    • Evan Lake: [speaking in front of new CIA recruits] What the hell are you doing here? Haven't you heard? The CIA fell from the Berlin Wall and all the president's men can't put it back together again! It's broke! Not reliable. Not trustworthy. Can't stand up to the White House. Backstabbers. Watching porn, tapping phones. Best and brightest quit or retired. What in the name of Jesus Christ nailed to the cross are you doing here?

      [he and the recruits look at each other in silence]

      Evan Lake: Because you heard the call. That's why. Your future spread out before you like a cruise-ship buffet. You were teaching in a classroom, working in a kitchen, training in a gym, and you heard the call. For some it was adventure. For some, mystique. For all, it was 9/11 and you heard the call, and it was the call of duty and love of country. Why? Because you have values!

    • Milton Schultz: [speaking on the phone] Something's come up.

      Evan Lake: What?

      Milton Schultz: I don't wanna talk about it over an open line. Where are you? I'll come meet you.

      Evan Lake: [no response]

      Milton Schultz: Evan, where are you?

      Evan Lake: Diamond Tuesdays.

      Milton Schultz: You're at Ruby Tuesdays?

      Evan Lake: Yes, I'm at Ruby Tuesdays. That's what I just said.

    • Abdi Abikarim: [working on Evan's disguise] The world is not a pretty place without makeup.
