      This essay is easy to write, no effort at all

      Why do I think of Nicole as the Meg Ryan in the love of another world, because she was suddenly wrapped like a zongzi and staged a Platonic ambiguity. Voiceover, in fact, I still miss Africa very much. Why does Africa become a land of paradoxes in human rights has attracted countless Red Cross and United Nations trend-setters? The incomprehensible original sin of white people and Africa and the advanced concept of human rights in the white world are inextricably linked. Aside...

      "Translation Storm"

      In my heart, Sean Penn is undoubtedly a well-deserved actor. He burned his anger to a volcano eruption, he suppressed his dullness to a trickle underground, he made his excitement unbearable, and he interpreted his sadness into tears. However, in "Translation Storm", it is Nicole Kidman, the actress who keeps the suspense and horror shrouded in our heads and gripping like needles.
          It's been a long time since Nicole and Tommy divorced. While we sighed for such a peerless relationship,...

      The gunshots around you...deafening, but the human voice is different from the others...
      it's still distinct, although the noise drowns out the other sounds...
      even if it's not a shout, even if it's just a whisper. ..whisper...

      Few movies are more repulsive than a simple, convoluted story. The man who took the role of the ninth brother and the woman who was taken over by the ninth brother have absolutely no spark; cast a dazzlingly white blonde woman as the African interpreter; both speak Kuro and talk in English on the Brooklyn bus Confidential; detailed whereabouts of high-ranking foreign politicians published in newspapers... Is that really...

    Tidbits

    ● Before the script of the film was written, several screenwriters of the film visited the United Nations Headquarters, met with security guards, staff and simultaneous interpreters, and even visited the entire building. 
    ● The threatened African countries in the film are fictitious, because the creators do not want the film to take the risk of being seated. 
    ● The creative staff went to a language center in the United Kingdom to...

    Props set

    Since the film's story takes place inside the United Nations, it has become the most urgent wish of director Sidney Pollock to enter the United Nations building for live shooting. After being rejected, he did not give up. Through personal relations, he directly met with UN Secretary-General Annan and asked him to allow the film to be filmed inside the UN building. The original intention of "solving problems through text and language...
