      Looking for Cameos - The Best Self-Assessment for HC OCD Matters Kevin Costner

      Cameo, the fun is that you have to seriously wait for this person to appear, because you don't know when he will appear, wait for you to take a sip or wink, or go to the toilet, he This is a physical and mental game that requires passion and patience. Let’s play it if you have enough. Of course, making good use of the pause button is the nirvana to clear the game. The tragedy is that you can't walk away or turn off the TV and computer immediately after he...

      Francis - a boiling, loving soul

      Soft, sweet voice, hard, strong character, in her eyes, these mundane, rude, and even vulgar people who use tricks happen to cause her to be insulted and hurt. And they called her "a blond maniac", noble but crazy, the beautiful embodiment of their fascination, and the object they were ready to cast aside and destroy. "I refuse to be who you want me to be - dull, ordinary, normal"

      The lover, the patron who had tried to save her, took her from the nursing home, from the...

      what happened? I didn't even look at it. This is definitely a forgotten underdog. The structure of the film, the details, the acting, and the music are absolutely...

      Hollywood is still so hypocritical. The film replaces Frances Farmer's reason for being sent to a mental hospital with a "paranoid mother", which is absurd. In the age of McCarthyism, whistle-blowing and persecution often required only a trivial reason, such as the poem she wrote when she was a teenager. Russian poetry about religion, vaguely mentioned, does not dare to expose the scars of the times. It is interesting to show her hysterical behavior, those electrotherapy, insults, and frontal...

      God always likes to throw the pearl into the cesspool, and then watch the pearl immersed in the mud and struggle constantly, and then applaud like a child. The pituitary gland has been removed, so how can she still have normal emotions? It's ridiculous. The original family is something we can't choose, so Farmer has been trying desperately to escape, but she forgot that this world is run by capital, ruthless and ruthless, narrow and crazy, if you don't obey the rules, then you are the heresy,...

      Great performance. What needs to be corrected is that the pituitary surgery on her is not proven, and there is no Harry, a Hollywood fiction. She was too maverick at that time, and she refused to follow the crowd. She had poor emotional control and self-destruction. She was treated miserably for more than ten years. Makes one sigh. In addition, her mother is too fucked up, her daughter can't even think of a peaceful life, she killed the girl...

    Movie plot

    As a potential actress, the outspoken Frances has a stubborn personality. Because she is unwilling to act as a machine to make money for the Hollywood boss, she is not willing to be controlled by the boss, so she is put into the cold palace, even a small role. Can't even act. After a series of misfortunes, life's hardships changed her character and she became addicted to drugs and alcohol. Later, she had a fierce conflict with her...

    Background creation

    Based on the tragic life of Frances Elena Farmer, this biopic tells a nightmarish tragedy that brings the protagonist's ordeal to life with plenty of space. Frances, played by Jessica Lange, makes up for the lack of layers and rhythm in the film's structure and style with a resolute and emotional performance. Jessica Lange dissolves herself and fully enters the role, portraying Frances's visceral dissatisfaction and indignation...

    • Harry York: Frances, you're crazy.

      Frances Farmer: [softly] Don't tell anybody.

    • Lillian Farmer: When you get well, you're going to thank me.

      Frances Farmer: No, you are not talking now! You listen. Now you can send me away and pretend I'm crazy and you can pretend I'm still your little girl who can't take care of herself. But Lillian, there is one thing that you cannot pretend any more and that is that I love you. Because I don't. I can't. Not after what you've done to me. Because I am still me. I've been trying real hard all this time to be me. And you, little sister - you haven't been any help at all.
