The love life of a liar

Regarding this film, I found that I really can’t tell why, I know it, I don’t know why, I don’t understand what the theme is. After watching it, I don’t have any clues in my mind. This is in the movies I have watched. It's the first time here.

The film’s starring actors are the famous John Cusack, the famous Angelica Houston, and the less famous (in my opinion) Annette Bening, among which Benin has a bold omission. Click on the show, her figure is very charming.

The film tells the story of three swindlers, three crappy swindlers, an old girl swindler who is eager to quit the rivers and lakes, a little swindler with Oedipus complex, and a little girl who is always betraying her lust, coquettish, and extremely enjoying the process of fraud. fraud. The three people were entangled in emotions and money, hurt each other, and finally became bloody and messed up. They are the most embarrassed liars in the movie I have seen with the protagonist of the liar.

The film did not overly exaggerate the deception technique, but focused on the description of the dangerous life of three people, not in front of the village and behind in the shop, which made the film jump out of the framework of commercial films, to the literature and art. The film is close, which gives the actors a lot of performance space. The performances of the three actors are all in place, especially the innocent smile of the little liar played by Annette Bening, which forms a strong contrast with her deeds. It's creepy.

At the end of the film, John Cusack's death was abrupt and inexplicable. He died at once. I don't know why the director arranged this way. In addition, the word "Phoenix" appeared in the movie, which made me discover that my domain name was spelled incorrectly. I spelled phoenix to pheonix. Just as I created a word of my own, it was as if the Beatles were "beatles" instead of The same as "beetles". Haha, nonsense, people did it on purpose, and mine is a big mistake.

There is not much to say and I have said a lot. It seems that the text is like water in a sponge. As long as you squeeze it, there is always something. Mr. Lu Xun also made a contribution.

    Stephen Freys, the British director’s film is full of genius temperament. His definition of crime thriller reminds people of David Fincher. He combines suspense and eroticism with a unique style. At the same time, in terms of humor, he is naturally British. People's unique black humor, which makes "Deadly Gamble" a unique Hollywood movie. Not an impeccable work, but an excellent transformation of Hollywood genre films.

    Although John Kusack is an actor I like very much, but this only brings the film to an average level...
