    Animators are magicians

    Being a feature-length film, being able to outline a full story without the aid of dialogue is a feat in itself.
    On the back of the successful interpretation, it reflects a huge project. This is due to the subtlety of the film. This delicacy permeates every background, foreground, or characters in every imperceptible movement and mesmerizing music.
    I don’t know if it’s because the film focuses on the environment of Edinburgh. The French seem to have absorbed the cultural atmosphere of...

    Why didn't "The Tai Chi Flag Fly" change its name?

    As a Chinese, watching "The Tai Chi Flag Flying" may be a little awkward. .

    Some of the comments from the audience under the player are also vicious. . .

    Things like "red bandits" and "communist dogs",

    especially "the South Korean flag will be planted on Mount Paektu in China" do sound very unpleasant. . .

    But if you really integrate and comprehend the real emotions that the whole film wants to express. . .

    It is really easy to ignore the...

    Goal: Freedom!

    Peter Fonda: I just want to be myself all my life. (I never wanted to be anyone else), but the mind struggles to be myself and can't, (not to the world). That's why he can feel how happy a farmer's life is. (Being able to live according to one's own beliefs).

    This time we don't care about the plot, just look at the special effects...

    After watching this movie, I realized how important Jobs' quality of "turning himself into an idiot in an instant" is not only applicable to being a product manager, but also to ordinary moviegoers: don't complain, Don't expose it, ignore the logic, ignore the loopholes, treat yourself as an idiot, just enjoy the special effects quietly...

    This guy, Luc Besson, always feels a little obsessed. After he first gained a reputation for being a not-so-cold killer, this alternative director...

    Day can be break

    Disclaimer: The following content contains sociological and anthropological elements and may not be suitable for audiences who use "Blood Dawn" as entertainment.

    The story of the movie itself is relatively simple, and many plots are procrastinated, boring, and even brain-dead. But without discussing it here, the following is the worldview setting of the movie.

    Just like the agricultural civilization that originated in the river, I think it is more appropriate to use the...

    Appreciation of Venus in Fur

    Male and female, S and M, director/writer and actor/audience, reality and imaginary, these elements run through this film with the theme of sex, power, and theatrical art, and they are intertwined and merged for the audience. Provide a very rich interpretation angle, which is also the consistent practice of the film's director Polanski.

    In this adaptation of the original book of the same name, which is famous for its sadomasochistic...

    crazy love

    (The source of the film is the English subtitled version. Considering the two loss of context during the translation process, please forgive me for the deviation of the lines in the play; I have not read the original work, and I only judged many motives in the story based on the lens, and I misunderstood the place. Please forgive me too.)

    The Mi Rabbit Movement should have been launched a year earlier

    Let me first say that this is just a feeling of personal writing in a mess, 0 writing, 0 thinking depth, 0 logic, 0 reference.

    In addition, the front row confesses to the emperor! too strong! Temperament eats me to death!

    If justice is a wolf

    Under the thick night, incendiary bombs streaked like meteors, burning the streets of commuting in the past, and people screamed in anger to express their desire for the so-called "freedom".

    This is the opening scene of the Japanese movie "Wolf".

    The chaotic scenes like the end of the world seem to echo every hidden history, but this is an overhead...

    A short review of "Flying Tigers on the Railway", a film that revisits Jackie Chan's funny style

    A lot of people think this movie is bad, but I don't think so. Jackie Chan's films in the 1980s and 1990s were quite funny, and they seemed to be a lot more than his current films, so suddenly there is such a film that is similar to the previous one. I think I can still give high marks to it. The plot is of course a very funny brainless anti-Japanese movie, but this movie is funny so it is not a big problem, but it is still a bit strange that everyone sacrifices at the end. But it's really...

    a thoughtful film

    This is a very fresh work with a style that is different from most animations. The whole film is full of strong Mexican characteristics and customs, and the joy cannot be stopped. At the beginning, I was attracted by the fat old man in the museum who looked like a pig and a fat monkey. He wore a blue suit and a white top hat. The white hair that was upturned on both sides looked like a witty mustache. With a huge nose like a pig and a plump body, such a character image makes people...

    So many of us live while clinging to the immortality of the beloved,

    Like throwing a rock into a fire, and the flame would grow higher,

    Even just for an instant, and things go on. It's life,

    and being nomad has been the norm.

    We've looked at the world through wrong lenses.

    Watching huge landscapes with microscopes, zoom into just a rock or a statue,

    The ultimate question, does the old tower want to answer you?

    I admit that the title has nothing to do with the content, here are some trivial points.

    1. No name

    The two avoided names and used professional titles (in fact, none of the three had names). The movie clearly reminds us that the three of them are not just individuals, but derived from their professions.

    Writer: Then let me introduce myself first, my name is...
    Stalker: Your name is a...

    Our Herd, Our Family

    This one looks a lot better~~ It's
    just that there is still a tight plot, a sense of rhythm, etc. on the screen~
    Although there is no particularly beautiful scenery, I still think it is very good!
    The characters that appear in this one are also richer than the previous one. The work 4 years later has matured in terms of technology and plot design!
    Compared with the second one, the first one feels a bit like a first try. .
    My favorite is Diego, hehe! Righteous and evil...

    Typical American entertainment

    Take one sentence for this play: "I'm not very impressed after watching it once, because it's no different from other American films, and it's too entertaining."

    This film by the director of Fight Club seems to make fighting. The club's fans were shocked and disappointed, but in my opinion, I don't think it's very bad in it, and the story is novel, playing a chase game in a big house, fighting wits, is it a brain-dead thief and It's satirical swearing, so it's definitely not a...

    【Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Screening】The poet's escape and being chased are photographed in a poetic way, and the policeman who is the chaser either fell in love with Neruda, or his poems, or fell in love with him The pursuit of Neruda. All in all, it's a mystery, and it's gods and gods. I slept many times in between. At the end, the sun on the snowy mountain has too many light spots on the lens, but it destroys the smooth photography

    In fact, there is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​the whole film. The old ghost is in line with Rambo's Vietnam War veteran status, and also echoes the theme of the first part of this series. The Vietnam War veteran could not integrate into the peaceful society, and was forgotten and excluded by the peaceful society, "It's a Long Road", but he finally got home. The problem still lies in the design of the action scenes. Is the fighting style of a veteran really so unimaginable? And it is precisely because of the simplification of literary dramas that martial arts must not repeat the routine of Rambo in the prime of life, which Hideo Kojima saw clearly many years ago.

    Revisiting this old movie and gaining a deeper understanding. Stories are fictitious and phenomena are well-documented. From the book "Space Dwellers" can be confirmed. Behind the exuberant and manic burning of money, there are ugly politics and dirty transactions. Whether it is to attract people's attention or commercial production, the courage of filmmakers to expose the abuses is still admirable.

    After reading it, I feel that the judicial system in the United States is too crap. Xiao Tiantian is in a predicament, paying everyone - her own lawyer, Papa's lawyer, and the court's fee to maintain this endless cycle of conservatorship.

    Movies about the police are nothing more than money, power, and moral responsibilities. The clues and plots seem to be a bit complicated, but the trivial matters of murdering others for profit have been clarified. The best part was the shot in the restaurant toilet.

    At first, I thought that the hobbit had been playing a cowardly role recently, but when I saw it in the middle, it seemed that it was not so cowardly this time! The result was still a coward. At first, I thought that Mr. Ni had been doing some American dramas and movies recently. When I saw the middle, I felt that this turning point was a god. In the end, it was better to be sold by a pig teammate than a girl from the gang... "American drama disguised as a movie"
