      The movie of the same name had to be commented

      Hypocritical movie wow. I can't tell you anything you don't know, but it can still make you uncomfortable. It may be uncomfortable because I know, there is still no way to change it. So I am looking forward to reading the book "The World is Different for You" recommended by Mr. Kai-Fu Lee by Owl.

      Pulling away.

      In the movie, a Filipino woman works as a babysitter in New York. The host is on a business trip to Thailand. Naturally and very old-fashioned, one can talk about the...

      Gloomy mammoth

      I felt very depressed after watching this film. Although the theme of the film is international, the taste of ideology is still too strong, and the whole film depicts a postmodern dilemma in which all the characters are trapped. Every character was originally kind, but after being put into this predicament, they became helpless and unbearable.

            Ellen is an excellent surgeon who works hard and rescues the wounded. He also accompanies the patient at night in the hospital. Losing...

      Starting from the director’s creative point of view, Moodyson said that he was interested in the "message in a bottle" communication method when shooting this film: people often have weak hopes that it can drift to a beach and be What happened here. Undoubtedly, everyone in the movie is trying to face the world in a different way, but what about the end?
          The film uses a multi-clue narration method, which will make people have the effect of not being impressed or even forgetting the...

      Ideology overrides the movie itself

      Generally speaking, I can't afford to watch this film much. The direction of the plot and the hearts of the characters can be roughly guessed in advance, so it is less interesting.

      What this film tells, just like the one on IMDB wrote, describes the consequences of individuals, families, and communities from different cultural backgrounds being included in the context of global capitalist expansion. Through the intertwined life between an American family and their Filipino maid...

      Like a mammoth pen, 15 dollars

      It cannot be denied that this is an ambitious work by the Swedish director Lucas Moodysson, but after watching this 125-minute movie, I was hesitant to evaluate it between 2 stars and 3 stars. For the 2-star evaluation, perhaps because I had too high expectations for Modison, the first impression of "Mammoth" was quite a bit of "sorrow for the new words", even in the process of watching the movie, I They all want to give up the idea of ​​continuing to watch. But I finally chose to give this...

      She said Antony reminded her of Jackie. I know Jackie reminds her of Matilda. After she shed tears and the director called cut, who could she call? The man who loves Matilda the most is gone. Although there are other men who will answer the phone, even though they will say: it's okay, but those men are not him. She knows, I know too. that's...

      Often "for" the important people while actually missing the important people. It's not at the same level as the Tower of Babel at all. The water is too much and lacks strength. Once again, I saw the abduction skills of the King of Sunglasses on the...

    Movie plot

    Evaluation action

    "Mammoth" bluntly describes internationalization or world convergence. It was shot in New York, the Philippines, Thailand and other places in the United States. It not only focuses on the vainness and eagerness of the people due to the rapid development of the third world countries, but also focuses on the high-speed life of the middle class in the developed countries and the many problems of urban immigration.
    The director's mature...
