      Is there a metamorphosis of the same level as Uncle Baden?

      In my mind, "No Country for Old Men" (2007) is an undoubted classic, and it is also considered the best film among the best films of the Coen Brothers. Javier Bardem played one of the most exciting roles of his career: the surly and terrible gas tank killer. In his killing world, the only truth is himself. Grumpy, cold and absurd. In the movie, his conversation with the fat aunt at the campsite is truly breathtaking. Well, what I want to talk about today is not him, but another role that almost...

      "The Hitchhiker" (2007 Edition) Film Critic-The Extreme Horror Experience

      "Hitchhiker" (2007 version) film review-an
          82-minute movie with the ultimate horror experience, let alone whether the plot is reasonable or unreasonable, the whole film is scary, only horror. Why do you scare you, don’t tell you, why kill, don’t tell you, why don’t you kill you, don’t tell you. In short, every painting makes you shudder. As a horror movie, I don’t think it can be more horrible than this.
          Although there is not much introduction to the villain murderer in the...

      Haha is indeed a patriarch-level movie

      By the way, if Nolan likes it, it should be because of the dark anti-social neurosis like the movie. A sincere kid gets scammed all the way. This movie can be regarded as a prototype of a road horror movie. It’s the ultimate, compared to many backs. , The villain still needs some reasons for the background, · This film simply gives you the most horrible, no reason, no reason, even the villain is a mysterious stranger with no identity background, haha, plus exaggerated fighting Skills, the style...

      Jim finally grew up after shooting

      This film is Quentin's favorite, and it is also the top ten in Nolan's heart. In fact, this is a movie about growth: Little Fresh Meat Jim represents all the good things in life; Uncle John, the killer, symbolizes the natural law of the weak and the strong, just like the cheetah preying on the antelope, there is no reason but to survive; the sister represents The wife and mother cooked for Jim and rescued Jim from the police. In the end, he couldn't get Jim's protection and was killed by John....

      An alternative road killer movie. The killer without rivals is very lonely and tortured crazily to the boy who can be regarded as fancy. This cat and mouse game is wonderful. The relationship between the killer and the boy is as subtle as a father and son. The whole film is dedicated to many things. The killer played by Rutger Hall is very good for the wonderful opponent scenes and several chasing...

      The first time I saw it, "What I didn't expect at all was that the little heroine is actually the devil in "The Hateful Eight"!!!" This time, I saw that Rutger Hauer, who played the villain, was The cyborg villain from 1982's Blade Runner! !...
