      hope is good thing

      Watching this film at 11 o'clock is purely a personal love for Uncle Tom. I don't know what it feels like to be fired. When I didn't experience life for what it is, these movies told a little bit of right and wrong. Maybe it also has an unreal side, but I see It is hope, hope after suffering. We can't define it as a romance or an inspirational film. Because love is so natural, and inspiration is so instinctive. It's like, a healthy person will occasionally catch a cold, as if it is not normal...

      Re-employment and lovelorn, you don't know which comes first

      If the identity of the husband in Judy's film is fully explained, and it turns out that he was her teacher, then this drama will be even more gimmicky.
      It completely became:
      this woman developed a teacher-student relationship with her teacher and became a husband and wife;
      she developed a teacher-student relationship with her student and became an extramarital affair.

      -- How about it, be creative enough!
      Hehe, it seems that as long as you are familiar with watching...

      I'm afraid and this is a film full of details and weak stories.

      After watching an episode of The Daily Show, I wondered what would happen to Tom Hanks' self-written, directed, and starring self-produced Larry Crowne, and was disappointed. The core series time of the whole film is actually the least visually expressive-speech class! While public speaking is the second-biggest fear for Americans after flying, and there's a visual element to it, the film doesn't quite capture it. In contrast, the scene where Larry later works in Frank's restaurant looks more...

      Romantic Comedies, Non-Inspirational Movies

      This flight from Dubai to Shanghai was quite disappointing to me. The interior of the A340 is also average. Although there is a screen in front of everyone, it is very old, and it is not possible to directly order movies. They can only play it, like watching TV Switch the same. Because the rumbling of the plane is very noisy, it must be accompanied by Chinese or English subtitles to understand, and most of the movies are Arabic subtitles with thundering thunder. I ended up watching some bad...

      Technical Mistakes by Tom Hanks

      Last night I went to North Park, Oklahoma City to watch the movie Larry Crowne. This is a movie theater I recently discovered. The cinema shows "old movies" that have been on the market for a month or two, such as Rio, "Kung Fu Panda II" and so on. The film is relatively "old", but I'm not a fashionista, so it doesn't matter. The movie tickets here are very cheap, usually 2 yuan, special on Tuesdays, 1 yuan, buy tickets before 6:00 on Tuesday, half price, 50 cents. This kind of fare not only...

    Screenwriting

    When the project was established, Universal Picture hoped that Hanks could write a script that reflected the sudden changes in people's lives, so Hanks wrote the story of a middle-aged man who lost his job and re-entered the university to "charge". This story of sudden changes in life took place in school because of Hanks' "academic love." Compared with regular universities, colleges and universities have a diverse range of students,...

    Evaluation action

    Through the story of the protagonist, the film reminds the audience to maintain charm and humor at all times, and brings small surprises to life from time to time. The film encourages middle-aged audiences at the same age as the protagonist Larry Crowne. As long as they have the courage to change their lives, they will surely have unexpected gains. (Netease Entertainment Review) 
    The film still continues Hanks' silly and silly acting...
