      boring ukiyo-e

      One more star is purely for the photography itself and the big nose male protagonist. As for the story... a little depressing.

      SO "Superman" is actually a homosexual. He loves his boyfriend but goes to the MGM CEO's wife for "career", and then wakes up and pretends to "don't know"? ‍♀️ (Is there such a bitch..???) What's even more ridiculous is that the CEO's wife, who seems to be shrewd and capable, actually "can't see it"...? ? ? He immediately took the initiative to give the...

      Talking about the meaning of cigarettes in movies

      In the movie, the scene of the male protagonist Louis chewing gum seems to be a bit too much. It wasn't until halfway through the movie, when I saw the scene where the male protagonist couldn't bear to rummage for cigarettes, I suddenly realized:

      He was chewing gum to quit smoking.

      When thinking, he took out a piece of chewing gum and chewed it in his mouth; before asking the insider, he took out a piece of chewing gum and began to chew. Chew a piece of gum whenever he wanted to...

      Can't write short reviews here

      The film itself has three stars, and the expression of the father and son's relationship at the end adds one star. The encounter with Superman shows Gatsby's feeling. Of course, I must say that I haven't seen the Gatsby movie version. People read whatever books they were reading. From Haruki Murakami to Fitzgerald to Kafka, I was so young that I broke down. Later, Gatsby made it into a movie. The rush of them makes me very disgusted. When it comes to this film, the ending seems very open,...

      god prophecy movie

      I like Big Ben, the blurred eyes, the vague Boston accent, the smart and assertive mind, and the facial paralysis acting that hides the mind. This is the only time a 45-year-old man's acting skills broke out. The twitchy and slightly exaggerated performance just fits the character's unsatisfactory struggling heart.

      The truth of the film itself is hesitant to say, and outside the film, whether Da Ben's acting skills are worthy of the best actor is still debatable. However, Daben has...

      A case that never has the truth

      I personally watched this film for the male protagonist of the pianist, and I was not disappointed. The suspenseful ending seemed to make people still unfinished at the end. For a film like this based on a real-life case, the truth will never be clear and unexplored. Therefore, the director wisely uses the ingenious idea to divert or guide the audience to pay attention to the death factors of the deceased from another angle with the narrative of the conflict with his wife's divorced detective's...

    Evaluation action

    "Hollywoodland" is a very watchable film, and the actor's excellent performance made it occupy a place in the 2006 film. However, due to the improper scheduling of the director, the collision between the actors in the film made the audience feel a little lacking. The performance between George and the theater's main wife tended to be dull and did not have too many highlights. It was just for the needs of the plot. A little regret. The...

      George Reeves: Toni, don't do this.

      Toni Mannix: But you've got your projects, haven't you? You're going to be a director. You'll sit in your little canvas chair polishing your balls. "Thank God I got rid of that hag I had to screw. What was her name? The one who paid for everything! The one who bought me a fucking house!".

      George Reeves: For God's sake...
