      Life Thinking about the movie "Head in the Clouds"

      When I was about the age of Gilda, I planned my life, and I seemed to be talking to my friends about how old I should end my life. What to do: maybe you just got married, maybe you just had a child. It is absolutely unacceptable to suddenly ask for the end of everything at this time, but what is even more cruel is to be informed of the end point in advance when you are a girl, and then wait for the years...

      Living color and fragrance does not necessarily mean living up to it

      The way of life of Sartre and Beauvoir is beyond my understanding and acceptance, so I see two-thirds still confused about what the director wants to express through such a film, and finally, until the heroine goes to her fateful way. In the end, I finally felt a trace of sadness and sadness.
      When you were young, who didn't have the confusion about survival? You thought that living a life of joy would mean living up to it, but that's not necessarily true. When you get old, how can you know...

      unexpected result

      Some people say that this film is good, some people say that this film is a bad film, I watched this film with the attitude of watching it casually. Surprisingly, I found this film worth watching. To this day, I still remember Jeddah's eyes from initial surprise to joy to final indifference when he saw Guy, who had turned to intelligence work and returned to the occupied Paris. It fully reflects the complex psychological changes in Jeddah at that time.
      The story takes World War II as the...

      no title

      It's been a long time since I watched a literary film, so I chose this one after picking and choosing. Now I'm still used to watching literary films by myself, probably because I wanted to be closed to my feelings and thoughts at that time. At first I was attracted to this movie because I saw Theron and Penelope perform together. I liked both of them, but it was because of my love for two different styles. Theron's smart and cool, Penelope's charming and moving, can be seen in the movie. It's...

      "lover" in my life.

      I remember back in 2004, I don't know whether it was because Theron played the film, or because I took it by accident, but I'm glad I bought this film.
         I can't remember how many I've read, and whenever I'm sad I always find it and read it over and over again. This can't be regarded as a classic good movie that the public recognizes. It does not have the thrilling love feat of titannic, nor is it as spiritual and lovely as Amélie, full of psychedelics. It is just an ordinary...

      "I see your life is only 34 years old", the film opens with this, illustrating all of Gilda's principles of doing things. Time doesn't wait, it's fleeting, Gilda spent her only 34 years learning dance, photography, film; to love the two most important people in her life - Mia and Guy. This love triangle balances the relationship, as in "Midnight in Barcelona." It seems that Penelope Cruz has a lot to do with this character relationship...

      What a wonderful time to live together in Paris, it was a golden age, not only art, but also the pinnacle of emotion. Women can freely, passionately and freely choose to love or not to love. Shuang Shu is burning, makeup, clothing, soundtrack, all are beautiful. The evil war destroyed the trio, and the troubled times opened the unstoppable tragedy of...

      [Film Archive] It's hard to get into the movie, the threesome style is enough, to say that the humor is not as good as Woody Allen, Penelope looks really good in red, but Charlize Theron is too vulgar and too...
