      Republicans, Democrats, Communists, all look the same to me.

      It is common for people to express nobility through pain.

      This is real

      I think the theme of the film is very naive, that is, the left-wing "McCarthy" incident involved so many people in the film industry, because the government officials in it are so stupid and pedantic, so I think it is pure fiction, has no basis in reality, and does not A movie with a good story.
         Later, I read "The Modernity of Film and Culture", which mentioned the political nature of film culture. It turns out that the United States has also persecuted filmmakers of different...

      The 20th Jim Carrey movie to watch. At the beginning of the film, it reminded me of "The Truman World", but unfortunately the plot after that became mediocre. The main theme of Hollywood, the struggle to fight back against reality after waking up from a dream. Human rights and freedoms are always so...

      A typical movie with little people ups and downs in the torrent of history, plus some self-made bridges, in fact, even if it is vulgar, it should still be reasonable at the box office. I don't understand why it fails even at the commercial level. Recommended for anyone who wants to study the tone of Frank's work, and anyone interested in the restrained on-screen side of rubber-faced Jim...

Peter was blacklisted because of an unintentional act in college, and he lost his job and...
