A young British government official, John, came to the British colony with the ideal of spreading modernity and civilization, a primitive tribe called Yibang. It is a traditional custom of the tribe that a smart and beautiful girl (Jessica Alba) volunteers to be his "dictionary lover" (the sleeping dictionary). Through the day and night of the two, the girl can learn English and spread English among the tribe, and John can also learn the tribe language, which is convenient for him to carry out...

If you want to see beautiful women
To be honest, this film is still lacking in new ideas on the whole.
The love is not portrayed enough, the details are not sufficient, the performance of the characters lacks strength, and suddenly The psychological transition of the characters makes people a little uncomfortable. For...

Both France and England have strong colonial plots. While the story is good and the love moving, there always seems to be a sense of wishful thinking, and the colonists are always designed as sympathetic savior characters, or as victims who struggle between emotion and responsibility. Just like "Tiger Brother Tiger Brother", the moving plot and the protagonist's love for colonization completely cover up the despicable behavior of colonization.
But aside from all this, who can not be...

The first movie I watched in August three years ago should be one I will remember.
I feel the helplessness of love, and I am also moved by the persistence of love, even though I don't quite believe it anymore.
The scene that moved me the most in the whole show wasn't the heartbreak of the hero and heroine when they separated, or the surprise when they reunited,
but when Henry gave Samilina a gun to defend herself and she said, "Is this my second present? "
Then he...

Well, I admit, without Jessica Alba, I would never watch such a love movie, maybe because the director made the compromise of the man in love too real, maybe because the director made the love too real... ...
In the world of love, all things are not as we imagined, such a beautiful development, a perfect beginning, a perfect result, and a process with a little twists and turns, and so many people's efforts to achieve two people I don't know why, from the beginning to the end, except...

Sister Ba is really...
Cecil: [to John] I want to have what you and her have.
[They embrace]
Cecil: Now go. I want you to go.
John Truscott: [after a bad day] Sorry about this afternoon. I should've stopped her sooner. Selima... you had other lovers before me, didn't you? Did you and they have what we have?
Selima: Yes. They were men like you.
John Truscott: [He is a little surprised] I thought we had something special.
Selima: No. We fuck. That's all.
[She gets up and walks out of the room, and he goes after her]
John Truscott: Wait! You're angry. You're not telling the truth.
Selima: I'm angry! That's why I'm telling the truth! Half my blood is English. That is more that your king and queen, but for you that is not good enough. So Iban I'll be. Rule me if you must, but nothing else.
[Sits on the bed and opens her legs]
Selima: Go ahead. Do your sex. Don't mind me.
[Imitates Cecil]
Selima: Hands higher! That's it! Perfect.
Henry: You know?
Selima: I guess eventually.
Henry: It seems I only get to say goodbye.
