This story is awesome

You must love the ending of La La Land. If I were a screenwriter, the ending would be that the hero and heroine finally achieved nothing, met after many years, and found that the breakup that year was actually meaningless. Because with everyone is a lifetime, it is better to spend the rest of your life with the person you fell in love with back then. But this will definitely affect the box office. Everyone likes to watch the American Dream, to see success, and to see fate. In fact, the whole story of Aile is relatively general, even old-fashioned, and the reasons for the conflicts in the design of some of the previous bridges are not very convincing. To be fair, the last 10 minutes saved the drama. By comparison, the Texas bank robbery story we were talking about yesterday was a lot better. The more I look back, the more I find that the story is well-conceived, the relationship between the two groups of characters is properly constructed, the plot is deduced step by step, and the tragedy erupts at the end, which is natural and smooth. Sufficient foreshadowing in the front justifies the final irreconciliation. The politically incorrect jokes, the Texas granny's ordering, and finally the sudden death of Indians all have a consistent narrative tone, absurd and realistic. Later, it was revealed that the younger brother abused his wife and elder brother to kill his father, which gave the core of the film, the bank robbery, there is an inevitable reason, that is, atonement. Therefore, the death of my brother can be a little tragic and calm, and this death also puts a stop to the contradictions in the whole film, which is clean and beautiful. The ending of the film is also a satisfying type. It is not clear whether to choose another day to die or live in peace. One is his own blood feud for killing his brother, and the other is the behind-the-scenes plan for the murder of his partner. The two surviving people will always suffer from the other. The inner torment of being alive. I feel that this film will become more and more popular in a few years, and it may even be pushed to the altar of genre films. Some people start saying it's the best bank robbery movie after a hot afternoon, but I think it's better than the afternoon.

    You rob the bank and you die, the bank robs you and you die. The Lone Hero End Fighter always lives in another era and always passes you by. Persuade the male protagonist to watch more of To Qifeng's movies, people can't fight against the sky.

    It’s kind of old and helpless, even the kind of mourning the past and lamenting the confusion of the present world is the same. The difference is that this sense of powerlessness in life also infects a series of declining western towns in the background of the story. "Poverty is a family disease." In the end, it is actually a fable about capital. The performances of several Texas men are very good, rough and earthy enough, not good at words and tender (?), the acting skills of Paipai do not lose a few old dramas at all.
