      Eres mas guapo cada vez que te veo.

      For the purpose of learning Spanish, I was educated by this Chilean Spanish documentary. I thought I would be impatient with documentaries, and it was an elderly subject. Unexpectedly, I didn't turn on the double speed, and I read it with all my heart. What I feel is not shock, and there is no special plot to catch the horse. It is the sadness of the feeling of powerlessness, and the reflection on reality.

      The plot is relatively simple. The 80+ old man...

      The Mole Agent: A Successful Mix of Genres And Unprecedented Spy Movie

      Chilean director Maite Alberdi's new documentary 'The Mole Agent' is truly a spy thriller in its most innovative form. Not only does it take on the route of arranging the camera to be “hidden”, but the mixing of genres (documentary and narratives) is also exceptionally smooth and the overall plot really flowed - not dry nor insincere at all - in fact, one of the most authentic and truthful documentary filmmaking among all in 2020. The premise is quite simple: an...

      Dedicated to mothers and young people

      It's a good film, and I personally feel that the rating should be higher than 9. For example, "We All Dress for Bill" is a good film, and it touches me, so I wrote my second film review, which is more like a film review than a film review. Summary from the movie. It just so happens that today is also Mother's Day, so I wrote it down for myself and the few people who happened to see this, and shared it with me.

      The poem written by this old lady is very beautiful, and the poem...

      Loneliness is the worst thing here

      Speaking of famous detectives, many people think of Conan, or Sherlock, or Poirot for the first time. These are all familiar detective images, but in this "detective film" released some time ago, there is a A special detective.

      This is a documentary from Chile, which was shortlisted for the Sundance Film Festival and the San Sebastian Film Festival, and was nominated for this year's Oscar for Best Documentary Feature.

      Te quiero, como la Tierra al sol

      You laughed at me at the beginning, the old man was using his mobile phone in a real world: let him take a picture, he will hold down the camera button and not let go, and take 15 pictures at once; let him make a phone call, but can't find the answer button; ask him about modern times Knowledge of technology, the answer is to know the existence of wifi, and he also thinks that this thing is useless.

      Sergio, who is loved by his children and has ideas...

      I also don't like poems without rhymes. Cute, simple and lonely old people, the director must be a super optimist. From the perspective of the theme of the elderly, there is no breakthrough, but this kind of documentary and pseudo-documentary, the subtle ambiguous feeling between reality and fiction, is the biggest beauty of this...

      3.5, I thought it would be a detective comedy, but I didn't expect it to be a documentary. From the perspective of an outsider, I show the situation of the nursing home, but my life is still very lonely. #How to make documentaries look...

      In nature, only individual animals such as humans and several species of whales will not die after being infertile. Social Darwin explained that older people are left behind by society because they can still contribute to their families and help offspring reproduce. What social Darwin cannot explain should be human...

      It's a documentary, of course, but there's no abuse at all. It's more like a documentary with a nursing home. Assigning a mission that allows the elderly to observe the lonely elderly in the nursing home from a unique point of view becomes the real subject of the film. Because the entry point is very good, so let the film have a little suspense and interest, and draw out those old people, and the background is...

      The biggest crime in a nursing home is not abuse, but not having relatives to visit. Not every uncle can take a colorful balloon to Angel Falls for the last adventure of life like "Flying...

    Movie plot

    In order to find out whether the nursing home is abusing the elderly, Sergio, an amateur in his 80s, was hired by a detective company and moved into the nursing home. During the three-month operation, Uncle Sai not only mastered superb undercover skills, but also captured the hearts of many grandmothers in the hospital and became a big star in the nursing home. With the deepening of the investigation, he found that the incident was far...

    Movie quotes

    • Sergio Chamy: If you feel like crying, just cry.

    • Sergio Chamy: Forgive me, but I'm a person too. I'm a person and I respect you, so you should too.

    • Petita: If your mother is still alive, thank the Lord who loves you so much, for not every mortal can boast such big joy or holy pleasure. If your mother is still alive, be good because she who carried you one day continued to suffer and rejoice. She kept watch by night and worked by day. A song from her lips lulled you to sleep. And upon waking, her lips kissed you. But if she's gone to heaven, and you can no longer make her happy on Earth, lay memories of your flowers on the cold ground that covers her. A mother's grave is such a holy place, that there's no holier place to one's heart. When your soul is pierced by a cruel thorn, go there to cry your sad tears.
