At the beginning of the year, Mr. Dongmu's new film has not had time to watch, but today I finally made it up. The old man is 90 years old this year, and it is still a new film every year. It has been half a century since he entered the industry in 1955. It is the living fossil of the film industry. The core of the whole film comes from Watson's sentence "Promise me, don't let yourself become an asshole just because you have power, even a little bit of power". The male protagonist, Jewell, is an arrogant, somewhat naive, always thinking of "protecting others" but he keeps screwing up. For example, when he was a security guard at the school, he wrote down the principal's words and waited until what happened did not match the principal's words. He came out to slap the principal in the face, but he is indeed an upright person, but such a character is not pleasant in the workplace, so he keeps changing jobs. Fortunately, the security profession needs everything, so he does not worry about not having a job. The role of the female reporter in the middle was a bit blunt. It was very hateful at first, but in the end, she repented so easily, like a person who was created for dramatic conflict, and the FBI boss was also a bit blunt. Although there were flaws, it was harmless. The role of Jewell is a real phenomenon where an ordinary person is suddenly placed under the flash. He will not maintain any character like a celebrity. He is just an ordinary person. Jewell is stupid and can’t speak, only a simple sentence I want to protect others", but I paid a huge price because of this sentence. "Only the integrity that pays the price can be called true integrity", thinking of what Al Pacino said in "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman", I Knowing that the path of integrity is the right one, but I choose not to take it because it is too damn hard to walk. Jewell has been scorned by people for half his life. He loves his country, loves his family, is dedicated to his job, and has a mission to protect others. He is a true civilian hero and fulfills Watson's words "Don't be a jerk"

    "15:17" is a miss, "The Mule" is a return to courage, and "Lamentation" is powerless.

    【A-】There is no doubt that Mr. Dongmu is already an unquestionable legend in Hollywood, and this "Richard Jewell's Lamentation" adds another glorious stroke to this legend. Dongmu's shots are so calm and gentle, like a sympathetic recorder rather than a hype creator. All events revolve around the characters to unfold smoothly. Under its old-fashioned style, all emotions are inadvertently hidden, leaving the audience to dig out the moving under the scenes. For such a story, the 89-year-old Dongmu showed his usual simplicity and sincerity. He left his emotions to the audience and praise to the characters, and he himself was only responsible for the purest narration. This spirit is what makes him great.
