      "Comedy or Profound? ! 》

      I watched two movies, the comedy "Top Secret! / Laughing Through the Iron Curtain": "Is your daughter 18 years old?" Hahaha! [So happy to dance and tune! ] The shrewd wisdom that makes the audience laugh. "Life is always a little miserable" - but it's an opportunity, which is linked to the movie here below. It is beauty, and the comedy "Top Secret! / Laughing Through the Iron Curtain" is beauty.

      "Open Your Eyes" has been criticized as a prequel to "Inception", and after a look - "The...

      don't be afraid

      It is a pity that the boundary between dream and reality becomes clear at the end of the film. Compared with the blur of "Mulholland Drive", it will have a layer of charm.

      Mother, father, newspaper vendor, school, hospital, prison, these two groups of so-called dream changes are very subtle.

      "Open Your Eyes" is the title of the film, and it also runs through the whole film. The first responds and forms a circle of ruins. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, open your eyes" in the...

      delusion of ending

      Not sure how to classify this movie suspense? psychology? Still how. The ending is very open to any imagination. I hope that the male protagonist is actually a mental patient, and everything that happened is his imagination. This explanation is that I feel that I can skip a lot of problems that I don't want to face. For example, if I really wake up after 150 years, then should I also sign such an agreement, as long as 240,000 can keep a chance to resurrect, I can do whatever I want in my...

      The original dream hypothesis

      It has always been said that this movie is several years ahead of Inception, but in fact it is only in the different fields of dream. Speaking of which, the known psychiatrist is an illusion, and it is proved that the murder of the male protagonist is a dream, so it is proved that there are two female protagonists. It is known that the male protagonist's contract with the freezing company is an illusion, and it is also an illusion that the cosmetic surgery is successful, so it is proved that...

      If all the good is false, how do you know that all the ugly is true

      The most touching IQ suspense movie I have seen recently. The reflection in the hero's dream comes from the past reality and his subconscious. In the consciousness before the tragedy, he thought he was born lucky and can be cynical, but the tragedy The consciousness of the blows formed on him after his arrival cannot be covered, but there is a balance factor in the world after all, even in dreams, it is impossible to completely cover the black with white, in short, it is impossible for people...

      There may be audiences who wonder whether they are also in a dream after watching the movie. What I want to tell you is whether it is a dream or not, whether it is real or not is not important. Through the fake, you can also realize the real. Whether you can realize the meaning of your life is the most...
