An unethical movie review

In fact, I watched this movie for Dan Niu, and ended up in two pits - Dai Hanhan and Beat Generation.

Regarding Hanhan, I wrote the following two paragraphs two days after watching the movie.

"Although I want to try my best to watch ordinary movies, it's fine, but these two days there will always be those bright eyes in my mind.

"A pair of eyes that reminds me of the clear blue sky and sea I saw on the opposite side of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge that year."

About the Beat Generation, I don't have a good opinion. First, I am not very familiar with this literary genre; second, in the film-related interview, the director also mentioned that he did not want the actors to be unable to perform well because they were restricted by historical characters. But if I'm judging by the Beats, maybe I can only give this movie three stars.

The reason for giving four stars is of course because of Hanhan!
