Scarface (1983)

Comments on "Scarface"

[10/10 · 27 January 2024]

"Scarface" is an epoch-making gangster crime movie. The highlight of it is Alpacino who plays the protagonist Tony Montana; his performance is very good, and he makes Tony Montana's The fierce, cruel, cold-blooded style is mastered extremely well. This allowed the film to be "given life." In addition, the exaggerated influence of "Scarface" around the world has also influenced later generations of animations, movies, TV series, comics, novels, music, games, etc. You can even find it in Rockstar games.

It is undeniable that this is a very classic gangster crime movie. It can be ranked in the IMDB Top 250, which also proves that it is not a simple gangster crime movie.

Narcos (2015–2017)

"Narcos"

[10/10 · 6 May 2023]

"Narcos" is an American drama based on real historical events. It tells the story of the rise of Colombian drug cartels and the huge wealth accumulation of their leaders from the 1980s to the early 1990s. Violent, suspenseful and exciting, the drama also explores the relationship between power and money, and the conflict between the individual and family and society's moral norms.

My deepest feeling while watching "Narcos" is that it reveals to us the brutality and impact of the drug trade. Instead of trying to romanticize or beautify the industry, the series showcases the enormous negative impact it has brought, including the dangers to life, the depravity of humanity, and the decline of society. In addition, "Narcos" has many fascinating characters, each pursuing power and wealth, and catching up by various means. One of the main characters is the tycoon drug lord Pablo Escobar, played by actor Wagner Mara The superb acting is perfectly interpreted, and his complexity and variety are impressive.

However, I think this drama also has some shortcomings. For example, sometimes it relies too much on violent and bloody scenes to attract the audience's attention, while ignoring the in-depth depiction of the characters' psychology and emotions. In addition, "Narcos" sometimes changes or deletes historical events, which may lack respect for authenticity.

Overall, "Narcos" is an excellent TV series, a fascinating exploration of the relationship between power, money and morality through the struggle and struggle for power between Colombian drug lords and the government. The success of this TV series is that it is not only a story, but also a witness to a social and cultural phenomenon, which is worthy of every audience's deep thinking.

No Country for Old Men (2007)

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD

[10/10 · 5 April 2023]

"NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN" IS A MOVIE THAT MAKES PEOPLE "SMILE" AFTER THE FACT, ALTHOUGH THERE IS ACTUALLY NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT IT.

FRIENDS WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE COEN BROTHERS' PREVIOUS WORKS MAY FIND THAT THIS FILM SEEMS TO BE A COMPOSITE ENHANCED VERSION OF "BLOOD LABYRINTH" AND "FARGO". NO MATTER THE THEME OR THE STYLE, "NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN" HAS MAINTAINED THE CONSISTENT BLACK HUMOR SPIRIT OF THE COEN BROTHERS.

SOME PEOPLE MAY WANT TO STAND UP AND OBJECT: HOW CAN SUCH A HORROR AND BLOODY MOVIE BE FUNNY? WHERE IS THE HUMOR? AS FAR AS THE INTUITIVE FEELING IS CONCERNED, IT IS TRUE: WATCHING A GUY WITH A HIGH-PRESSURE GAS CYLINDER AND A LARGE-CALIBER SILENCER RIFLE COLLAPSE ALL OVER THE WORLD, NO ONE CAN LAUGH AT HIM.

HOWEVER, BLACK HUMOR IS HUMOROUS PRECISELY BECAUSE IT IS GOOD AT MAKING A FUSS ABOUT "BLACK". "BLACK" REPRESENTS DEATH, WHICH IS A TERRIBLE AND FUNNY REALITY, AND "HUMOR" IS THE MOCKERY OF THIS REALITY BY INDIVIDUALS WITH WILL.

WITH A SLIGHTLY "MALICIOUS" AND "CRUEL" ATTITUDE, THE COEN BROTHERS RIDICULED THE PLIGHT OF ALL THE CHARACTERS IN THE FILM INDISCRIMINATELY, EMPHASIZING THE ABSURDITY OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. IN SHORT, THE FILM DELIBERATELY FACES THE TRAGEDY OF THE CHARACTERS WITH A MOCKING ATTITUDE.

NOW THAT WE UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF BLACK HUMOR, LET'S ANALYZE IN DETAIL WHERE THE HUMOR IS IN THIS FILM AND WHAT THE DIRECTOR WANTS TO EXPRESS THROUGH THIS HUMOROUS MEANS.

(1) "HIS PRINCIPLES FAR OUTWEIGH MONEY AND DRUGS" THERE IS A JOKE ABOUT THE GOD OF DEATH THAT GOES LIKE THIS: HENRY IS THE FINANCE OF A COMPANY, AND HIS MEXICAN BOSS CALLED HIM TO THE OFFICE TO DISCUSS SOME AFFAIRS THAT DAY. BEFORE HE SAT DOWN AND SAID A FEW WORDS, THE GOD OF DEATH SUDDENLY KICKED IN THE DOOR AND SHOT THE BOSS IN THE THROAT.

JUST AS THE GOD OF DEATH WAS FASCINATED BY WATCHING THE BOSS'S THROAT CREAKING AND BLEEDING, HENRY BEHIND HIM ASKED TREMBLINGLY: "ARE YOU GOING TO KILL ME TOO?" THE GOD OF DEATH WOULD TURN HIS HEAD AND SAY, "IT DEPENDS. I JUST WANT TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE KILLED ME, HAVE YOU SEEN ME?"

EVERYONE MUST HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS COLD HUMOR COMES FROM THE PLOT OF THE COLD-BLOODED KILLER ANTON SEAGER SHOOTING AND KILLING THE BOSS WHO HIRED HIM IN THE FILM. ANTON SEAGER CAN ONLY BE SUMMED UP IN ONE SENTENCE: EVERYONE WHO SAW HIM DIED-HE WAS DEATH HIMSELF.

THE PERSON WHO KNOWS ANTON BEST IN THE WHOLE FILM IS CARSON WELLS, WHO MAKES HIM ALSO A KILLER. CARLSON, WHO WAS HIRED TO TRACK DOWN ANTON AND THE MONEY, WAS A CLEVER AND HILARIOUS CHARACTER WHO BYPASSED ANTON AND WENT STRAIGHT TO LLEWELLYN MOSS, WHO WAS LYING IN THE HOSPITAL.

CARLSON COMMENTED ON ANTON IN THE HOSPITAL: "HE WILL NOT MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU. EVEN IF YOU GIVE HIM THE MONEY, HE WILL STILL KILL YOU BECAUSE YOU MAKE HIM SPEND A LOT OF TIME. HE IS AN ALTERNATIVE, AND YOU CAN EVEN SAY THAT HE VERY PRINCIPLED, HIS PRINCIPLES ARE WAY ABOVE MONEY OR DRUGS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, UNLIKE YOU. NOT EVEN ME."

IT IS NECESSARY TO SAY IN FAIRNESS THAT THE TITLE "REAPER" WAS NOT COINED BY ME, BUT BY ANTON SEAGER HIMSELF. ANTON REGARDS HIMSELF AS THE MASTER OF OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES. HE KILLS PEOPLE, BUT HE ALSO FREES THEM - AS LONG AS YOU GUESS THE HEADS AND TAILS OF THE COIN CORRECTLY, YOU CAN STILL SAVE YOUR LIFE.

THE LOGIC BEHIND ANTON'S COIN TRICK IS OBVIOUS: DON'T ASK HIM IF YOU WANT TO LIVE, IT'S NOT THAT HE WANTS TO KILL YOU, BUT GOD WANTS TO KILL YOU. ANTON BELIEVES THAT HE IS THE EXECUTOR OF NATURAL WILL, AND IF THE PREY IS UNLUCKY AND GUESSES WRONG, HE CAN'T BLAME HIM FOR DOING IT.

FACING SUCH A KILLER, ANYONE WOULD BE HYSTERICAL, BECAUSE NO ONE CAN ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THEY ARE BOUND TO DIE. CARLSON AND LLEW AILIN REFUSED TO GIVE UP THE IDEA THAT THEY STILL HAD A CHANCE TO SURVIVE WHEN THEY WERE DYING. ONE SAID THAT THEY WOULD GIVE MONEY TO ANTON, AND THE OTHER SAID THAT THEY WOULD KILL ANTON IN TURN.

BUT ANTON LAUGHED AT THEIR ABSURDITY: "PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY THE SAME THING, THEY SAY: 'YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS'". ANTON'S TASK IS TO DISPEL THEIR "UNREALISTIC" THOUGHTS AND TELL THEM: ONCE YOU HAVE A PREMONITION THAT YOU MAY DIE, THEN YOU WILL DEFINITELY DIE.

THIS FEELING IS A BIT LIKE WHEN YOUR GIRLFRIEND TELLS YOU "BREAK UP! GIVE UP!" YOU JUST DENY IT IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY, UNWILLING TO ACCEPT IT, AND ALWAYS THINK THAT SHE WILL COME BACK. THIS EXAMPLE IS NOT GOOD, BUT THE POINT IS THAT WHEN PEOPLE DENY THE FACT THAT THEY ARE MORTAL, IT IS SUCH A HYSTERICAL STATE.

THEREFORE, ANTON ALWAYS "KINDLY" COMFORTED HIS PREY. HE SAID TO CARLSON: "YOU SHOULD ACCEPT YOUR CURRENT SITUATION, THEN YOU WILL HAVE SOME DIGNITY." CAN WIN EVERYTHING."

THIS KIND OF ARROGANT SELF-CONFIDENCE MADE HIM FINALLY FOLDED ON LLEWELLYN'S WIFE CARLA KING, WHICH WE WILL ELABORATE ON LATER.

(2) "COINS DON'T MAKE DECISIONS, YOU MAKE DECISIONS" WHEN THE OLD SHERIFF INSPECTED THE SCENE OF THE DRUG DEALER'S FIRE, HE SAID: "THIS KIND OF PLACE WILL HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER." WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS KIND OF PLACE? WHAT IS THIS KIND OF THING? TO FIGURE OUT THESE TWO POINTS IS TO STUDY THE COLD-BLOODED KILLER ANTON SEAGER THOROUGHLY.

THE CALM COMMENT OF THE OLD SHERIFF AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FILM, IT IS HARD NOT TO REMIND PEOPLE OF THE VERY SIMILAR OPENING OF "BLOOD MAZE". THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE SYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE DESOLATE SCENE IN TEXAS SHOWN IN THE OPENING SCREEN IS AMBIGUOUS IN "BLOOD LABYRINTH".

"BLOOD LABYRINTH" IS THE COEN BROTHERS' VIRGO, AND IT IS INEVITABLE THAT THERE WILL BE MORE OR LESS FLAWS AND REGRETS WHEN DIRECTING FOR THE FIRST TIME. SO IN "NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN", THEY SAID EVERYTHING THAT WAS NOT CLEAR IN "BLOOD LABYRINTH".

IN THIS FILM, THE GEOGRAPHICAL ENVIRONMENT IS A VERY IMPORTANT BACKGROUND ELEMENT. IN LITERATURE AND FILM, GEOGRAPHY CANNOT SIMPLY BE UNDERSTOOD AS MOUNTAINS AND RIVERS, IT ACTUALLY ENCOMPASSES EVERYTHING THAT SHAPES THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE-MATERIAL, CULTURAL, ECONOMIC, PSYCHOLOGICAL.

NOW LOOK BACK AND THINK ABOUT THE DESOLATE SCENE OF TEXAS IN THE FILM: THE YELLOW AND VAST PLAINS AND HILLS ARE LIFELESS, THIS IS THE TERRITORY OF HUNTERS, AND IT IS A WORLD OF BEASTS WHERE THE WEAK AND THE STRONG PREY. THE PEOPLE WHO GREW UP FROM THIS LAND ARE NATURALLY STURDY AND CRAZY IN THEIR BONES.

REMEMBER WHAT LLEWELLYN MOSS WAS DOING WHEN HE FIRST CAME OUT? HE IS HUNTING. IF LU AILIN IS THE "WILD HUNTER", ANTON IS THE "CITY HUNTER". THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS THAT LLEWELLYN'S PREY ARE ANIMALS AND ANTON'S PREY ARE HUMANS.

SO FAR, WE CAN DRAW A CONCLUSION: WHAT THIS FILM DESCRIBES IS A CRUEL "NATURAL SYSTEM". IN THIS SYSTEM, LAW AND ORDER HAVE DISAPPEARED, AND HUMAN CIVILIZATION HAS RETREATED TO THE ERA OF THE WEAK AND THE STRONG, AND ONLY VIOLENCE RULES EVERYTHING.

THE BIGGEST BLACK HUMOR IN THE FILM IS: WHILE YOU ARE HUNTING PREY, YOU ARE ALSO THE PREY OF OTHERS. THE ANTELOPE WAS LLEWELLYN'S PREY, AND LLEWELLYN WAS ANTON'S PREY. THIS IS AN INTERLOCKING FOOD CHAIN WHERE BIG FISH EAT SMALL FISH AND SMALL FISH EAT SHRIMP.

SO IT'S NOT DIFFICULT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND THE OLD SHERIFF'S JOKES ABOUT THE MEXICANS KILLED BY ANTON: "IT SOUNDS LIKE THESE GUYS DIED OF 'NATURAL CAUSES'... WHICH IS VERY NATURAL FOR THEIR BUSINESS GONE."

THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE IS THE ONLY PRINCIPLE THAT ANTON SEAGER ABIDES BY, BUT IT IS A PITY THAT HE THINKS HE IS THE GOD OF DEATH, HE FORGOT SUCH A THING, HE IS NOT AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN. SO DURING THE RESISTANCE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FILM, ANTON WAS WOUNDED BY HIS "PREY", LU AILIN WHO WAS ALSO A HUNTER.

HOWEVER, IT WAS KARA KING WHO REALLY MADE ANTON REALIZE THIS. ANTON ASKED A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION FOR LU AILIN: EITHER YOU DIE; OR YOUR WIFE DIES PLUS YOU DIE. LLEW AILIN CHOSE THE LATTER, SO ANTON MUST FULFILL HIS PROMISE - KILL KARA KING.

KARA KING REJECTED ANTON'S COIN-GUESSING TRICK BEFORE SHE DIED. SHE SAID: "I KNOW VERY WELL WHAT IS IN YOUR HEAD. I WILL NOT GUESS. COINS DON'T MAKE DECISIONS. DECISIONS ARE MADE." YOU."

THIS SENTENCE IMMEDIATELY CLARIFIED ANTON, AND ANTON REALIZED THAT HE WAS NOT THE GOD OF DEATH, BUT HE WAS JUST "PLAYING" THE GOD OF DEATH. IN ESSENCE, HE IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE HE KILLED. HE IS ALSO THE PREY OF OTHERS, BUT THIS "OTHER" IS MORE ABSTRACT.

AS THE SAYING GOES, "GOOD AND EVIL WILL BE REWARDED IN THE END, AND THE WAY OF HEAVEN IS REINCARNATION. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, LOOK UP AND SEE WHO WILL BE SPARED BY HEAVEN." THIS TIME, ANTON FELL INTO THE HANDS OF "HEAVEN". AFTER COMING OUT OF KARAKIN'S HOUSE, ANTON DROVE ACROSS THE INTERSECTION AND WAS UNEXPECTEDLY KNOCKED OVER BY A CAR RUNNING A RED LIGHT.

ANTON, WHO WAS BLOODY AND BLOODY, CLIMBED OUT OF THE CAR, BOUGHT A SHIRT FROM TWO CHILDREN RIDING A BICYCLE, TIED IT UP, AND FLED THE SCENE IN A HURRY. AT THIS POINT, THE STORY WOULD BE MORE INTERESTING IF SOMEONE COULD RECALL THE BLOODY LLEWELLYN BUYING A COAT FROM SOME OF THE YOUNG MEN.

(3) "YOU CAN'T STOP WHAT'S COMING, AND THEY'RE NOT WAITING FOR YOU" THE THEME OF "NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN" IS THE DECLINE OF CIVILIZATION, WHICH IS ALREADY SO CLEARLY POINTED OUT IN THE OLD SHERIFF'S OPENING TITLE AND MANY LINES IN THE FILM THAT I DON'T EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN IT. SO HERE ARE SOME OF HIS ORIGINAL WORDS FOR REFERENCE:

I ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR THE STORIES OF THE OLDER GENERATION, AND I NEVER MISS THE OPPORTUNITY. YOU CAN'T HELP BUT COMPARE YOURSELF TO THE OLDER GENERATION AND WONDER HOW THEY KEPT ORDER IN THE PAST.

NOT LONG AGO I PUT A BOY IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR WHOM I ARRESTED AND TESTIFIED AGAINST. HE KILLED A FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL, AND THE PAPERS SAID IT WAS JUST A MOMENT OF LOSS OF CONTROL, BUT HE TOLD ME IT WASN'T A LOSS OF CONTROL. HE TOLD ME HE'D BEEN PLANNING TO KILL FOR AS LONG AS HE COULD REMEMBER, AND THAT IF THEY LET HIM OUT, HE'D KILL AGAIN. HE SAID HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO HELL AND STAYED THERE FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES. I REALLY DON'T UNDERST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THE WHOLE WORLD IS MESSED UP, AND I'M SPEECHLESS ABOUT THESE THINGS. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? LAST WEEK THEY FOUND A COUPLE IN CALIFORNIA WHO.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)

Ballad

[10/10 · 20 December 2022]

The Coen brothers' work strikes me as a white world of ice and snow, and characters who die suddenly and inexplicably all the time.

This is a very cruel world, not "bad people are so cruel, people are so vicious" kind of cruelty, but the higher level of "heaven and earth are unkind to all things for humble dogs" cruelty. There seems to be no God in this world; Or if anything, God seems neither concerned with human suffering nor interested in doing us justice. If this God has any intention for our human world, it is some cold and mysterious intention which is completely beyond our comprehension.

In "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs," the snow and ice of the Great Lakes are replaced by the heat and dust of New Mexico, and the story gets a lot livelier. The lively and free ranger sings a happy song at a word. Yet the coldness and cruelty remain, just as you can't really expect to sing and dance your way out of the emptiness of death.

In such a world, our human condition would probably be similar to that of the handless, footless performer in the third story. The performer had no control over his own body or circumstances; Are we not so powerless against fate? Yet, powerless and miserable as he was, this performer still painted and painted seriously, took center stage with the greatest seriousness, and recited the most heartfelt and moving poems over and over again; Isn't that what we've been doing, generation after generation?

The performer recited the poem repeatedly:

The first is Shelley's "Ozymandias", which tells the story of Ramses II, who was king of all Kings in life and achieved great success, but after his death, his statue was in tatters and nothing but yellow sand.

This is followed by Sonnets 29 and 30, which speak of the pains of human life and end with "But when I think of thee, my dear friend, my heart rises like a lark from a great earthquake of haze to the dawning sky."

And then the biblical story of Cain killing his brother, which foreshadows the end of the performer being killed by his brother.

Finally, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address: "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish in the earth."

The end of the story, however, was that the performer simply disappeared from the world and was perfectly replaced by a chicken who could count. The void is like the dust all over the sky, which is eroded by human's magnificent and world-renowned achievements. On the one hand, I think this performer is ridiculous and pathetic: he has to read Shelley and Shakespeare every night in the face of a poor country and a village fool. Maybe even a chicken is more useful than him. However, many people in human history pursue truth and progress, is not just like this performer? They work hard, but their "stupid compatriots" don't understand them, much less appreciate them. But who are we to blame our so-called "stupid compatriots"? Perhaps, like the brother in this story, they had to be cruel and numb just to get by in a desolate world; Perhaps, "casting pearls before swine, not cattle stupid is stupid" is also a kind of logic. So, on the other hand, I think this performer is very noble, he may be the "everyone lives in the gutter, I want to look at the stars" type of person. But ridiculous or noble, his life was meaningless. The audience doesn't even feel too sad about his death, because when we see him alive, we only feel the word "suffering".

This is the human condition in the Coen brothers' world. Some strike gold, some meet a lover, some shoot the best and sing the best, some master Shelley and Shakespeare. But dreams, ambitions, hopes, love -- nothing wins over chaos and nothingness. Not only are we helpless, we can't even find any way to fight back (even useless resistance), because the world doesn't mean us any harm, it just doesn't care about us.

So what are humans supposed to do in such a world?

In the world of the Coen brothers, the question might seem laughable. Do we have a choice?

"You see the cards, you have to finish the deck." "Sneered the stern-faced man. (Illustration for the first story)

The good news is that the world, though ruthless, is also, in some ways, remarkably fair. Total chaos and disorder, treating everyone the same. You and bad, how to choose, do not matter. Time moves at the same pace, and death comes creeping up on you in the same car. You have almost unlimited freedom. You can rob a bank on a whim, or you can fight robbers covered in POTS. You can be silent, you can talk, you can shout as loud as you can -- except that "the driver shows no intention of slowing down, whether he hears you or not." (Illustration for the 6th story)

Once you accept the ultimate meaninglessness, it means the ultimate freedom and indifference. Our choices don't matter anyway, and in the Coen brothers' world, human choices have almost no effect on how the story ends.

"But across the vast landscape, there is no sign of man, no trace of the human hand." (Illustration for the fourth story)

Maybe we should learn from the cowboy in Story 2, when the noose of fate is around his neck, and take a look at the pretty girls in the crowd.

Or maybe we should follow the example of the fat man in the last story, even though death is just walking on with his hat on.

So the Coen brothers' world is the ultimate indifference, but also the ultimate compassion.

Schindler's List (1993)

Schindler' List

[10/10 · 20 December 2022]

I dare not comment on this magnificent and great film. However, I felt that if I did not write something, it would be difficult to appease my coarse and sincere feelings about the movie I had been longing to see but had been afraid to see.

Oh, it's so confusing. Like every choice Mr. Schindler has made. I am glad that I watched the movie at this time. When I was a little younger, my meager patience would not allow me to spend more than 3 hours in front of the black and white film. I would surely do things like falling asleep and eating snacks to distract my attention.

Has always had an unspeakable affection for the Jewish nation. Their intelligence, diligence and achievements in various fields of the world have attracted the attention of the world. I even like their faces, especially the girls, most of whom have straight noses and deep big eyes, which always shine with tenderness and wisdom.

Such a nation, but has been suffering. Until now, Israel has never had a real peace, war has spread, and during the Second World War, it experienced a heinous massacre. The Nazi regime, led by Hitler, classified this intelligent and wealth-creating people as inferior, and extermination became the most common policy. A concentration camp stands, gunfire constantly, each shot, is the fall of an innocent Jew, there are strong men, there are beautiful women, there are young children.

Even with a less detailed memory of this history, watching "Schindler's List", or waves of anxiety. The struggle to recreate a realistic frame made me feel that the film lasted too long, even though it was a long history of humiliation and slaughter, More than three hours is just a drop in the ocean, isn't it?

Even so, still deeply impressed. Mr. Schindler's rescue, the Jews' tenacious, optimistic, intelligent and other beautiful characteristics, as well as the Nazi officers' cruelty, vividly recall, like taking a time machine, back to that unbearably dark time.

What I like most about Spielberg is that he does not deliberately emphasize the absolute beauty of the hero, but the truth of the documentary, so that what is presented in front of us is a real person. Mr. Schindler's speculative psychology, the treachery of a businessman, and the initial numbness towards the Jews can be easily seen at the beginning of the film, but these do not affect his greatness. Unlike many domestic biographical films, which always like to eulogize and praise the defects of great men, they will not give up until they are 100 percent perfect, but a good student who always takes 100 percent exam must be a boring student, and a person who has never conceived any small evil thoughts must also be a boring person.

I was struck by the wisdom and determination of Jewish women. When the Nazi officers were to perform medical examinations, leaving only healthy Jews as workers, the thin and pale women pricked their fingers to squeeze out the bright red blood, perhaps as rouge, and then rubbed it on everyone's face to make every woman look ruddy and create the illusion of good health. The longing for life is so strong, it makes me SOB. Living people, why want to despise their own life? However, I felt that I was too preachy to rise to the level of true value of life after seeing such a scene. In such a difficult situation, it is not easy to choose to live or die, but in the worst era, every Jew broke out infinite courage and the unity that can destroy everything, even in the limited hiding space, because of the narrow space, and refused to more people's selfishness and determination, it still seems with a trace of courage.

I suddenly realized that I almost regard the Jewish community as the main character of the film. In fact, every Jew is alive and real, which makes this film to express Mr. Schindler so deeply. I love that people's struggle, their courage to rebuild, and their flexibility to bend. There's no "City of Life and Death" in this movie. In Liu Ye as the representative of the patriotic tough guy role, the tenacity of the Jewish group is at a glance. By the way, after watching the film, I felt how clumsy the shooting technique of Nanjing was. I tried to present the Nanjing Massacre from different angles, but made the history of that period even more vague. I always think that movies that really respect history do not need too much foreshadowing and rendering, which is close to the fidelity of documentaries, will make movies more beautiful. Perhaps I have always preferred narrative to lyrical?

At the end of the film, when he receives a gold ring from the surviving Jews, it bears the Hebrew text: To save one person is to save the world. Mr. Schindler must have been in a state of emotional collapse. He thought that he had done a good job all the time, but his sense of justice and victory was lost to powerlessness and frustration. He broke down in tears, complaining that he had not worked hard enough to make more money, so that he could save only about 1,100 Jews. That scene, it really moved me. Mr. Schindler finally showed his greatness to the full before he lost all his money and was about to go into exile. I am sure he has a great love for all innocent human beings. At that moment, I wanted to cry. The truly great man is never proud of his achievements, but still in the review of his shortcomings as sin. In fact, as the ring says, Mr Schindler was the brightest light in the darkest of times. His love and dedication provided a foundation for the revival of the devastated Jewish nation. Seeing the description at the end of the film, Schindler's Jews had reached nearly 6,000 people, I felt deeply comforted. It's 1994 -- 15 years after that -- it's a long way from that, right? Would Mr. Schindler be smiling if he knew that?

His simple gravestone is filled with stones laid down in Jewish ritual by each actor and archetype, and the last mourner lays roses. It is Mr. Schindler's humanity that shines when the evil runs amuck and tries to cover the sky, so that we can wait in the dark without despair.

Downfall (2004)

AdolphAdolf HitlerAdolf Hitler's LastThe Last 12 Days of Adolf Hitler

[10/10 · 24 November 2022]

Beliefs and dreams are abstract, perhaps we should look at concrete people, concrete pain-bodies pierced by bullets-broken hands and feet-collapsed buildings, it seems that we can understand the feeling of failure, close at hand but hope for a miracle, the last sun is hope, although the ruins under the sun are also full of hope, children are hope. Children's hearts will not be covered by despair, the sun comes out, will guide us to find concrete happiness.

War, like the competitive gene in human nature, inevitably appears in the historical world before the emergence of destructive military forces. Hitler's law of the jungle is unreasonable, and the winner is the loser, and the disappearance of extreme power is the inevitable result. If we have the attitude of not being arrogant and humble and the awakening of judging the situation in war, will we guarantee the hegemony of the Western democratic system? Even so, once the war is opened, it will be difficult to recover. It is difficult to control the development of the situation if the king's orders are not accepted.

Apocalypse Now (1979)

Coppola's underrated masterpiece.

[10/10 · 22 November 2022]

Exhausted after watching the 192-minute version, there is no dilemma without an answer again, and even feel absurd ... First of all, the shooting skills and music are really excellent! The war killing game under Wagner's music adds a lot of color to the ridiculousness and absurdity. After finally seeing Koz, the music that renders the psychedelic and fearful atmosphere is also excellent. The use of warm light and shadow and montage, the rendering of blood red color, the illusion under the fog, and the background of that hell are quite alarming! Crosscutting of the killing of the cow and the slashing of Koz,Also increased the silk religion and the philosophy meaning, under the lie, the civilization hypocrisy, the barbaric essence, the fear conquest, manifests incisively and vividly! As for the front, the protagonist faces the helicopter killing game, the rabbit girl and the army's carnal lust, the disorder and panic of the border stronghold, the "machine shock" of two barrels of oil exchange helicopters, and enters the primitive and hell scene of Cambodia, not only the protagonist, but also w e fall into confusion with the director's "elaborate arrangement" and the murmur of literary and artistic preaching. Face the most direct animal desire and barbarism of human nature in extreme situations! Even fall into the despair of civilization and order, until the realm of nothingness!

Detective Conan (1996– )

How did the garbage broadcast since 1996?

[2/10 · 20 November 2022]

Although there are many pictures that are not suitable for children, it is a child oriented animation after all. The characterization and content are lack of depth and do not continue to dig deeply - this may not be a problem, but for more than 1000 episodes, all the characters are the same as they were when they first appeared, which is a serious problem. The drama is arranged purely to be able to drag on. 8.5 points is really outrageous, so let's play two stars.

Very speechless. In the first dozens of episodes, they were swimming. Later, when they came up, Conan suddenly remembered some clues in the investigation, and then ran out. Is it possible to go to primary school, or Japanese primary school, or to hang out with Xiaolan all day long? Doesn't he need to go to school? Even if he doesn't need Xiaolan, doesn't he? There is also the stem of the rotten man in black. The implementation of more than 1000 episodes, and nothing else. Conan really does not deserve the score of 8.5.

Liang jian (2005– )

Why is "Liang jian" a classic?

[10/10 · 6 November 2022]

"Bright Sword" is one of the best war films in the history of Chinese TV series. "Bright Sword" is the TV series that has been replayed the most times by China Central Television after "Journey to the West". It can be said that "bright sword" has left a strong mark in the history of Chinese TV series. In 2005, the TV series "Bright Sword" was born. At that time, many people watched classic TV series such as "Journey to the West", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Due to some well-known reasons, the play "Bright Sword" did not complete the original work, and the ending was included in the thesis defense and title conferment. However, the TV series has laid a lot of foreshadowing for the final fate of the characters. It can be seen that it is not that the director does not want to finish shooting. Li Yunlong committed suicide with Chu Yunfei's gift gun. There is no such plot in the play, but the experience of this important item is described in detail. Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei got the gun when they met for the first time, and then transferred it to Xiuqin, who was kidnapped. Died in Pingan County, but the gun was recovered. Li Yunlong lay on a stretcher. The deputy head of the regiment handed the gun to Li. Li looked at it for a moment without saying a word. The deputy head of the regiment began to talk about other things. Later, Li Yunlong reported to the Military Academy that he reluctantly handed over the gun and was told that he would return it as it was when he graduated. It can be seen that for more than ten years, Li Yunlong has been carrying this gun with him, and the relevant lines are only one, "You mean this?"? It's just a souvenir. Behind the superficial understatement is Li's cherishing of the gun. When the time comes to commit suicide, it is logical to use this gun. Zhang Dabiao died in Kinmen in the original story, and the TV series did not have this battle, but Zhang Dabiao did not appear again after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the hospital, Li Yunlong met Deputy Commander Wang, who wanted to pursue Tian Yu. He found that this man was an old acquaintance. He killed Li Yunlong's political commissar and two battalion commanders in the movement to eliminate counter-revolutionaries. "Whoever is not pleasing to the eye is the AB regiment, and killing people is red-eyed." Li Yunlong survived because "several comrades-in-arms did not bite indiscriminately until they died." Although the elimination of counter-revolutionaries was "corrected," this man's current official position is bigger than that of Li. Look at these two sentences again: "What is the AB group? I am engaged in it now."

The Godfather (1972)

THG GODFATHER (1972)

[10/10 · 5 November 2022]

In 1972, the film "The Godfather" was released in the United States, and once it was released, fans around the world were crazy about it. "The Godfather" grossed more than $200 million worldwide, or $2.7 billion today. The Godfather is based on Mario Puzo's novel of the same name. "The Godfather" still ranks second on the IMDB, behind "Shawshank Redemption.". The Godfather also won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. It's really a classic.

The Godfather's influence in the film industry is no less than that of the United States in the world.

"The Godfather" is currently in second place, with a score of 9.2, and is likely to surpass "Shawshank Redemption" to take the first place.

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)

All Quiet on the Western Front

[10/10 · 5 November 2022]

War seems to be a kind of social action that only human beings possess, which, in the final analysis, is only to plunder resources they do not need to satisfy their greedy nature. War is cruel, it makes human life as useless, life and death become so blurred that in many cases death is almost a kind of black humor (the soldier with the helmet hit in "Saving Raine"); War is ridiculous, it can break all the conventional law, break all the standard of value, break all the ethics, it can make a originally cynical capitalists to save the lives of angels (" schindler "), which can let the innocent children, are supposed to be idealistic youth become terrible killing machines (" paradise now "); War is a lie, the rulers of the country for their own interests, cooked up numerous beautiful lies to enslave innocent people as cannon fodder, and helpless civilians have to use the same beautiful but helpless lies to try to protect their cherished people (Beautiful Life); War is a sham. There are no heroes, no great victories, no pride, only the loss of home, the loss of family, the loss of self endless abyss.

I never have no opinion of the war, both the so-called "justice" and "evil", because no matter how, the benefits of the victory to come is always belongs to those who did not meeting the ruling class of the battlefield, they squeeze people's sweat in the war, after the victory and receptivity, with "winner" and "peaceful reshaping" continue to enslave the people. Out of nowhere, a fable popped into my head: Adjunct to the once upon a time there lived two farmers, children of a family pig JiaPin but less big strong, but more than a pig rich children ying weak, poor farmers decided to rob the rich farmers, all the pigs they rob to come over, the children of the rich farmers are no match for the children of the poor farmers, and to see their property will be the somebody else took, rich farmers parents just want to a note, he said to the home of the pig: "Others to rob us, is to want to kill you steal to eat, so everybody to want to stand up for your own life and the intruder resistance, the pigs a listen to, feel the truth, then rush out to help host resistance, finally with the advantages of number repelled the poor farmers of the robbery, the pigs are very happy, thought that from now on can live a happy and peaceful life. The family of rich pig farmers was also very happy, and in order to celebrate the victory, the family killed several of their pigs for the celebration party, and from now on they would kill pigs regularly to commemorate the hard-won victory.

At the end of the story of the Western Front, Katczinsky was shot dead by the enemy when he reached out to catch a butterfly in a trench. The hope of every civilian was as beautiful as that butterfly, but in the war, their fate could only be a pig.

The Godfather Part III (1990)

The failure of Godfather 3

[10/10 · 20 October 2022]

Godfather 3 is the last work of the Godfather series. When the film came out, the external evaluation was very low. It is true that Godfather 3 is a little worse than Godfather 2, but Godfather 3 focuses on the old age of the second generation godfather Michael Corleone.

I think the greatest achievement of Godfather 3 is that it tells the end of Godfather series. So far, some people still think Godfather 3 is rubbish. But as the last work of the Godfather series, it is very good to do so! After all, there is no What about the three movies that will last forever? Apart from Marvel movie, Godfather 3 is already very good. Don't talk about it anymore.

Modern Times (1936)

Modern Times

[10/10 · 20 October 2022]

Story summary:Modern Times A little tramp is finding it difficult to match his own sensibilities to the modern mechanized world. Failing as a worker on a factory assembly line, he gets into a series of adventures and misadventures, which leads to him meeting a young recently orphaned gamine who ran away rather than end up in an orphanage. They try to survive in the world together, both on the run from the law, although his previous stints behind bars were to him more comforting than life outside in the cold modern world. Beyond being wanted by the law, the question becomes whether they individually or together can find their proper place in the ever changing world which seems out to get them.

In addition, Modern Times has always ranked No. 78 among the greatest movies in the United States. This shows the greatness of the film.
