presence or absence

Insomnia and zero stress on weekends, watching "The Absentee" in the middle of the night, it's just so casual, and the night rain is dense, which brings me great enjoyment.

Men who talk less are always more attractive to women, and compare themselves to vulgar people who are noisy. The male protagonist played by Billy Bob is too stylish in this film. He always has a cigarette in his mouth. The smell of smoke penetrates the screen directly. The soul that has never wandered outside the body is pretentious by silence, or is considered by his wife to be attractive and powerful at first, or is considered cowardly and honest by his brother-in-law Dave, or is considered by Lolita as a salty and wet uncle in the film. Silence is golden or scum, too deceptive, maybe it's natural, it's just random speculation by others. Under the appearance of a peaceful life, undercurrents are surging. In the end, he was driven by the trend of his heart and desires, and he took the road of no return by accident, and completed his regret-free life. It is precisely because he has no regrets that he is so miraculously confident, but he is lonely to the point of death and has never been understood. The pursuit of a career, the betrayal of his wife, and the admiration for the girl were all smashed by fate (the Coen brothers), and their heads were broken. Billy Bob hasn't had such a glamorous role since, with the style of an old-school star of the 1930s, as if it were tailor-made.

Francis is really Joel Cohen's love and actor, and she is indispensable in the works of the Coen brothers. In 1996, "Frozen" was a happy, sensitive and warm policewoman. Five years later, she was a thin, indifferent, hysterical poor wife. I love to watch her act, she is so perfect, she acts like what, and she has a talent for comedy. The Coen family are all in the circle. The eldest married the Oscar-winning actress, and the second wife's wife is also a movie editor. Really strong teamwork.

The sexy stunner Scarlett was still a 17-year-old immature girl, her face was smooth and full, and her limbs were still slender. The beauty gave the uncle a desperate blow. "Who asked you to interfere in my life and worry about my talents, don't you know that just your humble and wretched thoughts? It doesn't matter, I'm not the pure and beautiful girl you imagined at all, I just want a pear tree. Is it Haitang? Come on!" The moment the car rolled over, the uncle finally panicked, and the huge disappointment might as well lie down in the grave and grow a few inches of hair. Scarlett's performance in this film was sharp, and two years later, it broke out in "Lost in Translation" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring".

The 2001 book "The Absentee" is beautiful in black and white light and shadow. I am more and more fascinated by the Coen brothers. I have seen "Frozen", "No Country for Old Men", "Burn After Reading", "The Absentee", "Drunk Town Folk Ballad"... The black style is distinctive, and the drunken town is a good crime. The subject matter, but also don't have feelings. I can't stop wanting to see their "Blood Labyrinth," "Barton Funk," and "Thunderbolt."

It's dawn. Good morning.
