a little stupid

(Probably) First time watching the Coen Brothers, so fun.

This is my short review??, and then gave it five stars. After thinking about it, I cut another star, that is, I have seen some similar "plattery movies", and this one feels that the correlation between the units is too poor (of course, it may also be because my "reading comprehension questions" are not good enough, not summed up).

I also suddenly felt that if I was taken away from the director's skillful technique, I found that this movie was no different from TV series like "Secret No. 9" and "Black Mirror". There are a few other issues too, but in short it's not worth full marks.

But it's still very fun, and I feel the style is very strong. After watching this, I plan to try other works by the famous Coen brothers. Hope for a better experience.

    Damn Coen Brothers + Lan Lan! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! The fifth story is awesome! ! ! ! ! BLOW MY MIND! At the moment of the end, I got goosebumps for a generation, think about it this way: how to start a story with this painting. At the beginning of the sixth story, the black humor of the Coen brothers was shown fiercely, and I was very satisfied (the sixth story is French, Irish, etc., it is difficult for Chinese people to get this kind of identity icon cold humor). The fourth story also speculates that the eagle came back to peck the old man and fell off the tree. This sense of suspense, which is thought to be a fable, is also very interesting. In the short review, stop reading and comprehension with full marks, and forcefully pull this film into a relationship with Cohen and their previous works. Uncle Liam Neeson's acting is amazing! Shut down Zoe...

    Streaming seems to have reduced the popularity of directors at Cohen's level.
