      Comment on diehards

      Roscam said: "The film is about the reactions of people who are cornered, their extreme actions and decisions. When people's lives are changed by unexpected events, we have no way to control our own lives, so either become A saint, or become a villain. No matter how small things, as long as they happen in life and life, they will have a huge impact on our lives, and then a series of chain events will eventually push people down to fate and the like Literally. To a certain extent, fate is also a...

      lack of humanity

      Hormones are a key factor in this movie, huh, what nonsense is being said, hormones are a key factor in the human body, and only a little bit is enough to regulate the growth and reproduction of the human body. But the normal growth of people can not rely on hormones alone.

      It's all about hormones.

      Jack and Dietrich peeking at Lucia are completely ignorant hormones, not love. Lucia's brother Bruno organized children to watch...

      Poisoned beef producer not allowed to die

      The movie is well done, and when the clues are intertwined, it's exciting until the end. This is like a retribution . After the male protagonist was exposed to the method of making poisonous
      beef when he was young The biggest use of poison in the world was just a couple of twists. No matter how you look at the two guys who changed tires, they are more like villains, criminals, robbers, thefts, and clumsy . But obviously, the author's meaning is quite clear, and I hope that all those who...

      bull's head of fate

      "The Diehard" reminds me of a movie with a similar style in the same year: "Sleeping Tyrannosaurus". Compared with "The Diehard", I prefer the Taiwanese translation: "The Elegy of the Bull's Head", which seems more appropriate. The film has a gloomy atmosphere from the beginning, and the story is unfolded in an interlude way, drawing out the shocking and tragic childhood events of the male protagonist Jacky; "Fighting" way to tell the life of this tragic character Jacky, is it not an...

      The must-have "Stubborn"

      The "Stubborn"

      boys who had to, because of various reasons, lost their balls.
      Koreans make a murderous, violent, thriller; Belgian director Michael r. Roskam treats it as strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
      But in order to put the toughness on an explainable level, use social events as a pad: the underworld + illegal veterinary hormones + the 1995 assassination of veterinary inspector Carl Van Nopeng.

      In the end, those who are strong on the outside and...

      It turns out that the water-injected pork promotes the growth of beef, not only in China. There is a story of a family underworld group. Of course, there are also those childhood memories that have a profound impact on the present. I can't imagine what the male protagonist's lower body has...

      The narrative is too loose, it's really incomprehensible. It looks very painful. Read the movie reviews to find out what the movie is about. The directorial debut has a good story idea, but the editing needs to be...

      The extremely subtle ending and the delicate performance of the male protagonist have sublimated the originally bland black crime thriller into a heart-wrenching sad song of life. Of course, the audience needs to endure the dull narrative style to appreciate the allegorical connotation behind the film....

    Movie plot

    Jack ( Matthias Schoenaerts ) helps relatives tend the farm, and an unscrupulous veterinarian is playing him in the hopes of a black-box beef deal with the notorious West Flanders. Not only did he use illegally purchased hormones on the cow, but he also used it on himself. This seemingly peaceful secret deal didn't last long before it was broken by the police's arrest. What comes to the surface is Jack's elusive, complex and shocking...

    Evaluation action

    "Bullhead" is a sad song about destiny. When innocence is gone, there is only a cycle of retribution for evil and evil. The whirlpool of tragedy has swallowed up the beauty in people's hearts, and they can only be reduced to the slaves of fate. (Sohu Review) 
    The film is known as a milestone in Belgian crime films because of its urgent plot and shocking protagonist performances. The plot is complicated and the atmosphere is gloomy....
