      "Snowflake Secret Fan" is an inspirational film of pure love that is suitable and long

      It is rare to watch the movie silently and watch the subtitles with an empty feeling. This movie, combined with what I've been through recently, has overloaded my brain a bit.

      Maybe it's because the love between men and women has been overdone, or maybe there is too much tacky in the real relationship between men and women. To shoot pure love seems to have to start with the same sex. It's really a hundred years of cultivation to sleep together, and a thousand years of cultivation to...

      Snowflake Secret Fan, is it a special kind of fan?

      After reading a clear mp4 version (thanks to a certain soybean oil, I will not name it here), I think I am qualified to speak~~ The film is not as unsightly as I imagined, and I think it is acceptable for some places that have been named and crossed too much. , but as Mrs. T said, this is not love between women at all.

      Between women, there are broken thoughts, endless, endless. When I was a child, I communicated with your pencils and my erasers, your homework and my grades, your...

      If you can't forget each other, then you will be imprinted in your heart

      I watched "Snowflake Secret Fan" completely today. I don't know why everyone is so picky. Although the development of the story and the lack of coherence in the narrative, there is a lack of details in the expression. But this film still has something remarkable to do, and it won't have such a bad reputation.
         First of all, Li Bingbing's performance is indeed very experienced. I still remember that at the end of "The Sound of the Wind", the pure love of the lily type is very exciting. I...

      Because I love you, so cruelly leave you

      I watched "The Secret Fan of Snowflakes" by chance. I thought it was a movie about les, but it turned out to be about friendship between women. I watched the second half of the movie with tears in my eyes.

      The film is divided into three lines, the present and past events of the two modern heroines Nina and Sophia, and the stories of two old friends in ancient times. The three lines are always interspersed with each other.

      The main line of the story is that two girls, Nina...

      From the unrealistic to the most mundane grievances

      The story of "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" seems to have a lot of room to be shot like "The Lover", a classic that combines beautiful pictures, moving stories, deep emotions, sad music and long aftertastes, which can be passed on. A culture that conveys a piece of history, makes memory concrete, and makes sadness not take shortcuts. The former enters the eye and the latter enters the heart.
      But unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s because the director Wang Ying’s skills are limited, or the...

      But it's just two Lala who are lonely and unbearable and unwilling to admit it, desperately pretending to be bitter and bitter, the plot is naive and absurd, the lines are pale and shallow, the characters are weird, and the great cause of the party is a good film compared to it. One more thing, who said this is about beautiful sisterhood? ! What kind of trouble do you want to make when friendship is like this? ....

      A story that could have been told in an hour was turned into a hundred minutes by two pairs of small feet. The only thing left in my memory is the long, smelly foot-binding cloth, and the...

    The story is touching

    "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" is not the female version of " Brokeback Mountain ", and the emotional expressions of Li Bingbing and Gianna Jun are strictly limited to ethics. Two old stories that span time and space tell the audience that in addition to love, family, and friendship, there is also an unforgettable emotion, which is about loyalty, promises and an unreasonable self-sacrifice. Eastern mysticism implements the film....

    Excellent actor

    In the film, Li Bingbing contributed a wonderful performance. Some viewers commented that Li Bingbing 's performance is "using eyes to cover the psychological world of women". Li Bingbing's body language in the film is very little, and he basically uses his eyes to convey his feelings, from not showing Li Bingbing's eyes to showing a pair of tears. eyes, sold a gimmick of eyes. Especially Li Bingbing persuaded Xuehua to leave home and...
