It is one of the pleasures of movie fans to look at the Hong Kong translation titles of various movies.

No matter how nice the movie's name is, once you arrive in Hong Kong, it's like entering a refrigerator full of leeks, and sooner or later you'll have to smell it. Hong Kong has its unique...

 "Imagine a man born without a heart. He's kind, he's upright, he's polite, but he just doesn't have that heart." (Conscance Fonimore Woolson) To me, Miller's Crossing seems like an alternative version of chaos Casablanca. That's right, it's the 42-year war love story between Humphrey Bogart and...

The Coen brothers made a gangster movie about loyal ministers in their own way. The intention and will of the protagonist Tom successfully suppressed all involuntary and accidental factors, and finally he achieved his will, but also lost love and fame. It can be said that he chose to be alone from...

The films of the Coen brothers, as always, are low-key and have no climax. The title is a place name, Tom's life creed, a turning point in love and later life. The meaning of Tom's hat is also very obscure. One point is lucky, three points are clever, three points are calculated, and the rest of...

Great movie, the opening 7+ minutes of dialogue have already set the tone, and the shots of that conversation are brilliant. I plan to imitate the application ~ replace it with courtship. The hat has always been unclear about the metaphors~~ I think the director may not really know exactly what it...

It is undeniable that everything went according to his own ideas in terms of the ups and downs of the plot. From the time Tom said that he had sex with the heroine and was beaten by Leo from his office, he couldn't find himself, and I always saw the [Hongmen Banquet] I felt. Of course, in addition...

The central character of the film is Tom, and Tom's life center is the hat. What does the hat represent? My understanding is money and beauty (career and love if you want a more dramatic explanation). Some critics think that Tom finally gave up his career and love for chivalry, and I laughed when I...

After watching it for the second time, the feeling of the first time has been irreversibly shaken. So much so that I'm not sure if the film is about the American version of brotherhood or another Brokeback Mountain story. Although these two statements can coexist in the Hong Kong movies we are...

Walking on the forest path called the crossroads, looking up at the dense branches lost in the sky, I dreamed that one of my hats was blown away by the wind, blowing far, far away. "Then you go after this hat and go into the depths of the forest, and although you don't find the hat, do you find...

"Miller's Crossroads" seems to be the second feature film of the Coen brothers. The previous one was the lesser-known "Blood Labyrinth", and the second one was "Barton Funk" that made the brothers shine. This movie tells the story of American gangsters in the early 1930s, reminiscent of...
