      Take a break, stop filming

      I bought this movie for a long time, and I haven't watched it. I just watched it tonight. It can be said that it is a big disappointment . There are

      too many loopholes in the story.
      For example
      , the performance of the epileptic son lacks the persuasiveness of the character's character.
      Although we have seen and heard that he is impotent, homosexual and neurotic, he loves the children in his family, he is afraid of his terrifying father, but at the same time we know...

      Eastern Promise

      To be honest, I feel that I didn't understand this film. The director should not just want to express what I saw. All I can see is a statement of a story. It would be too simplistic if it were just that.
      The male protagonist is the one in the history of violence, and the woman is the one from 21 grams and Mulholland Avenue. The two do not have too many emotional scenes, but their fates are inadvertently linked together.
      The streets of London always feel dark and damp, and in the rare...

      Eastern Promises

      Today, I watched "Murder of the Giant Tower", which is a strange translation. The whole film did not see anything to do with the tower. It was about the Russian gang in London.
          The actors in this film are good, the male pig is Aragorn in "The Lord of the Rings", the eldest brother is 50, and he is naked in the bathroom to fight with others at three o'clock; The older sister, who is already 40, really didn't see it; the performance of the gangster man and his son was also very good....

      Watch Eastern Promises

      David Cronenberg's "A History of Violence" excited me two years ago, but this year's original Centaur's "The Promise of the East" has me choked up. Frankly, my feeling is that the narrative of this film is terrible, not only confusing, but even the plot introduction. After watching it patiently, except for a few cruel scenes of neck cutting, it was a little cool, and basically nothing to watch, and the hard-working performances of several powerful actors did not leave any impression on me....

      Excellent work by Cronenberg

      It is an admirable work, Cronenberg's skill is seasoned and strong, a rare masterpiece, and an inestimable senior director!
      So why are there so few reviews? The reason is that although the stern style of this film is very unique, in a harmonious society, there are not necessarily many people who recognize this style; or the Chinese and English subtitles produced in China in the early stage are poor, and it will be difficult to read if you are impatient, hindering the audience; There is...

      Naked fights are so handsome~|| Second look is the same as the first time... Naked fights are not as amazing as the first time...I still don't understand how Montason was nominated for an Oscar, although I I like him very much... The main reason is that the old man is not good. He doesn't feel like a bad guy, and he has no momentum... And the role of Montassen seems to be too...

    Creation Background

    In the beginning, Steven Knight was commissioned to write an almost an hour-long script for an Eastern European TV movie about the "population trade". Using this story idea, Knight originally planned to write a narrative article, but in the end it became a discussion about "who profited from it", so a crime system named Vory V Zakone also emerged. water surface.

    Evaluation action

    David Cronenberg’s movie style has always been cold and dark, and he does not shy away from showing blood and violence naked, and the names of the movies are often strange and puzzling. In "The Promise of the East", Both of these points are very obvious.
    Vigo Mortensen’s dedication, Naomi Watts’s ever-growing superb acting skills, and Frenchman Vincent Cassel’s eagerness to prove himself to Hollywood. More importantly, the old Canadians...
