      In the literal sense, "the style of painting suddenly changed"

      What a weird movie. A "Blade Runner" general gloomy and dark dystopian begins, after three fission, weird finally becomes a bright and cheerful movie.

      The story written by the director/screenwriter John Patrick Shanley has always been a little weird. For example, he won the Oscar for Best Screenplay "Moonstruck," where Nicholas Cage's hand was chopped off while cutting bread is an important plot point. With Nicolas Cage's hysterical performance, it's a bit inexplicable, you don't know...

      Love this movie

      The film unintelligible to say, I think your life is incomprehensible now
      if the plot logically it does not matter, does not interfere with the expression of truth.
      The life of the actor before is our life now.
      I envy this pair of men and women who are pursuing true love.

      Maybe people all over the world are asleep, and only a few people are awake, they are living in a state of eternal, complete miracle.
       Few people understand, I haven't seen it.
      If she is a...

      volcanic stew

      Many people don't know that this is actually the first work Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan collaborated on, not "Sleepless in Seattle". However, because the production quality of this film is really ordinary and the content is very weird, its popularity and box office are far lower than that of "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Electronic Love Letter." Soon. When he didn't know what to do with the rest of the time, a mysterious boss suddenly appeared and begged him to go to a small island to complete the...

      What is imagination!

      This movie, the story, is not as touching as Sleepless in Seattle, and the dialogue is not as interesting as an electronic love letter.
      However, there is one thing that no one can match the American romantic comedy.
      Its imagination about nature is definitely Kubrick also looking forward to the

      end of the film, as a man and woman. the protagonist decides to deep volcanic when
      my heart sank ...... over, this time beyond resurrection
      romance comedy is not a happy...

      Moon and beauty

      After watching this movie, it's hard to make a man not fall in love with Meg Ryan. After Banks’ female colleague rejected him, I thought Meg Ryan’s play was over, and it was such a mentally handicapped character. Later, I didn't expect all the women in the movie to be Meg Ryan. The three roles allow her to embody the charm of women perfectly and moving.

      Every shot of this film is like a carefully crafted photo, sometimes with exaggerated colors like an oil painting.

      It’s best to...

      It's actually a romantic comedy. The first half is very depressing and anticlimactic, which is a lot worse than an electronic love letter. I don't recommend watching...
