The Strange Journey of Young Spevie
This is a genre film that I have been admiring recently, and it tells the story of a gifted teenager who wins a science award and crosses the American continent alone to receive the award without his family. The director is the famous French Genet. He is also a typical French storyteller, although the background is set in the United States, but it is a beautiful landscape picture, with a slightly absurd story. But it is a surprising and bizarre story that has been completed. Although the absurd result leads to it, the story feels a little imperfect. But you will find that the scenery perfectly makes up for this lack, for every picture can be used as a poster movie. What else can we be picky about.
Shirley the GreyHound
It is also a French film, adapted from the famous Best-selling children's book in France. The book had been adapted to the screen many times by the French for television or film, and I don't know why "BELLE" was translated as "Shirley." So, I prefer its literal translation of the name, My Adventure with Babe.
Every Frenchman seems to have a strong sense of attachment and grasp of the landscape. They can always show the most beautiful side of a place in every shot they grasp without reservation.
For the group of fools who love it, the small fresh meat is enough to make it crazy, not to mention there is a big white-haired dog full of spirit.
I liked a couple of long shots in the film.
The Fairy
It is still a French film, which is an extremely absurd film, coupled with the ugly female pig's foot, so that many people do not have a high evaluation of this film. But it's also because of the absurdity that this film is one of my favorite movies. It is worth mentioning that the two main actors of this film are also the directors of this film, and they are husband and wife.
When the film is full of French comedy elements, full of romance, one by one unfolds. For a moment, the quality of the story seems to be really not so important, but the simple hope that love will continue like this is their third wish.
"Rental Boys"
A more sadistic film, for the Chinese, Switzerland is a perfect transition, but this film does describe a real history of Switzerland's darkest and most difficult to look back.
For those films that describe history, compared with the shooting method, lens language, story narrative, and dialogue refinement, it is more important whether a director can objectively and unreservedly show that moment. For this film, the director has succeeded. It has also been proved that the development of a country depends on the attitude they can face their own history.
Historical links: Between the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, about 150,000 children in Switzerland became such rental children, and in 1930 alone, 60,000 children worked in peasant homes. This is also a consequence of the social structure, when Switzerland was dominated by agriculture, and the peasants lacked labor, and the young children of the poor became the free labor of the peasants. Today, 10,000 rental children from the past are still alive in Switzerland.
Switzerland has never faced this historical "stain" for more than a hundred years, and now the film has attracted social attention, and the Swiss government has reacted accordingly, and the federal minister of justice, Simonetta Sommaruga, has seen the film and said that he is glad that the issue is now attracting the attention of society.
She said the federation will hold a commemorative event in 2012 for the rental children of that year, which is intended for moral compensation, not financial compensation.
These rental children made a huge contribution to switzerland's agricultural economy, but they never got a penny. The Swiss government has never given them any compensation, or even dared to calculate the cost, because the figures will be staggering.
Uncle Mower
A realistic story, but with a fairy tale ending. Who are the real freaks?
< the son of another>
There is a kind of movie that sneers at the soundtrack. They firmly believe that it expresses real life, and that there is no music behind you for no reason.
This is one of those films with no soundtrack. Filmed in 2002, the film tells the story of a carpenter's son who is killed by a teenager, and after five years of being released, he is transferred to the hands of carpenters, hoping to let carpenters teach him his craft. This ensued a strong ethical and moral conflict.
This should be regarded as a classic of handheld cameras, shaky shots and very textured pictures, coupled with the dane brothers are good at long shots and close-ups, it is easy to mistakenly think that this is a story that happens around us.
PS: The movie is a little dull, suitable for solo people to watch in extremely quiet conditions.
"Strange Her"
It was a small-budget comedy that cost only 3.6 billion won and ended up with a box office miracle of 62 billion won. The film tells the story of a seventy-year-old grandmother Who is disliked at home, Su Shun, who originally wanted to take a picture of herself, but found that she was actually fifty years younger.
The director of the film is the young South Korean talent Hwang Dong Hyuk, who has so far directed only three works, "My Father" and "The Melting Pot" and the rest is this warm comedy "Strange Her".
Others I don't want to comment on, the ending is too stupid to explain.
"We'll See You in Heaven"
This is an extremely simple film, every shot of the film, every soundtrack, every line can find the depth of the director and the screenwriter's intentions, the use of skill. However, in such a beautiful film, the director and screenwriter are both newcomers, and they are the same person. Her name is Jiang Wenli.
The film should contain the most turbulent emotion hidden in her heart. Such a film that can evoke the memories of generations of people cannot be expressed clearly in a few words, and can only be quietly tasted by themselves.
Upside Down Patma
This is an anime movie that can make people fall in love with Pig's Feet, and it is also a movie with a bizarre setting that makes people want to stop. When I watched < > against the world, I complained about this way of setting, and it was doomed to use a science fiction movie to make such a story. "Upside Down Patma" is an anime interpretation of such an idea. So that people feel the shock of real science fiction for the first time in the picture without any sense of violation. However, such a movie is doomed to be in-depth. We let ourselves be immersed in that beautiful piece of weaving.
PS: The soundtrack is really good
"The Communist Boy's Journey to the West"
A decent German road light comedy about two young men living under communism in East Germany, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, on their way to San Francisco, the United States.
I don't know why the translated name of "friendship" became "Journey to the West of the Communist Boy", but I think that such a slightly rustic name is more appropriate to such a theme, when two White people living under socialism go to the United States, the collision of various cultures and societies always produces an unexpected spark. But it always makes people wonder when our black American empire consciousness can be so easy to grasp.
Overall, the story of the film is complete, the emotions are sincere, there are no highlights, but there are no loopholes. Worth a look,
Star Wars FanDom
How to say, this is a tribute to Star Wars fans, and this is also a movie that belongs only to Star Wars fans. "Star Wars" is a sign of the times, and I can still vaguely remember the news full of Americans queuing up all night to see the "Star Wars" scene, when I was very young and I couldn't understand why a movie had such magic that people could sleep so much for it. I'm sure Star Wars Fandom gave me the answer, following a few lines from the movie that "anything has to leave a little imperfection, crappy special effects, real puppets, but that's what makes it." "Actually, movies are just movies, but the difference is that we are outside the movies." It's the movies that make us the way we always are.
"If I Were True"
The film is from the famous Taiwanese director Wang Tong, adapted from Gogol's famous play "Chincha Minister". The film tells the story of a well-informed, ill-informed, yin and yang who is believed to be the son of the head of the central government after smashing the Gang of Four for three years. After enjoying a series of privileges, Li Xiaozhang decided to use his current status to transfer himself from the farm back to Shanghai.
This film is one of Wang Tong's early masterpieces, I don't know if it is due to the background of the film, the entire film is almost from South Korea and Taiwan, even the lead actor Tan Yonglin is also from Hong Kong. This is an excellent film work with laughter and tears, with a strong black comedy style, and the plot is extremely sarcastic, attacking the reality of contemporary society that emphasizes the power and the light of human feelings, and debunking the false mask of the hypocritical crowd. The story was originally adapted from a work of scarred literature published in the late 1970s in the mainland, but it was banned and banned due to its own touch on the Cultural Revolution and the current situation. The famous Hong Kong singer Tam Wing Lin, who starred in the hero in the film, won the Golden Horse Film Emperor of the year with this film, and the film itself became the best film at the Golden Horse Awards.
PS: Moutai wine and Teresa Teresa's ending song are the highlights.
"Goodbye Lenin"
Perhaps because of living in a socialist country, watching such films always makes it possible to read something thought-provoking. This film, like the "Journey to the West of the Communist Boy" mentioned earlier, is a light comedy about the period of German division and reunification.
The story begins with a mother who wholeheartedly supports socialist East Germany, her father's traitor, let her raise two children with hard work, and her son's parade was caught, but she had a heart attack and fainted. When she woke up, the country she knew had changed— the Berlin Wall had fallen and socialism in the GDR had collapsed. In order not to let her be hit again, the son tried to create a past world for his mother. The mother thus survived in the GDR.
Friends who have watched the movie will be familiar with the male lead Daniel Bruch, which is his famous work. The film uses a lot of fast shots, and a light soundtrack. Perhaps it is to alleviate the German people from being too heavy when watching this film. It's a story as touching and heart-wrenching as The Eavesdropping Storm. Even if the outside world changes, what remains unchanged is family affection. While people are still struggling with material needs and freedom of expression, socialist and communist ideals are nothing more than unrealistic fantasies. We should be grateful to Deng Xiaoping for his "reform and opening up", which saved us from going to the brink of extinction like the GDR.
When my mother walked out of the room and saw the helicopter dragging the statue of Lenin past her eyes, I didn't know why, and I couldn't help but clap my hands.
"The Way Home"
The film is based on a real case in South Korea, telling the story of a housewife who travels to Europe and mistakenly believes that her luggage full of drugs contains jewelry, but after landing in Europe, she is arrested by the local police as a drug smuggler.
The director is the famous Korean female director Fang Eun-jin, whose representative works are "Taebai Mountains" and "Recipient Unknown", but her most well-known works for domestic film fans should be the 2012 remake of the Japanese version of "The Dedication of Suspect X".
Back to the main topic, this film once again refreshed my understanding of Korean storytelling, the fluency of the whole film to a heinous point, generally speaking, this kind of real event adaptation of the film is easy to get high scores, but the difficulty is how to make the character emotions and story twists and turns to maintain unity, and then the protagonist's performance and event conflict to produce a perfect chemical reaction, I have to say that Fang Enzhen's handling in this film is enough to make people like her.
Perhaps because of the different national conditions, I personally admire this kind of anti-system film. I have to say that the South Korean government is really bold, so that these movies can take turns to bombard the nerves of the Korean people on the cinema line.
PS: At the end of the movie, the slap is loud.
Hidden Wall
This is an extremely dull movie, in the words of a fan who has seen this film, when watching this film, you will imagine yourself as a drowning fish, no matter how you struggle, how to move up, in the end, in vain, leaving yourself with only endless depression and the collapse of thoughts.
Plot: The protagonist of the film is a woman who does not give a name. She came to the foot of the Alps for a holiday with two friends and their dog. After settling down, a friend offered to go out for a walk, and she decided to go to bed early because she was tired of driving. When she woke up the next morning, she found her friends hadn't returned all night, with only her puppy Lucius by her side. Worried, she wanted to inquire about the news in the village next to her, but found that she was sealed here by an invisible barrier and could not leave at all. The radio is interrupted, the phone loses its signal, and she must decide whether to risk the mountain behind her to find contact with the outside world, or to stay here and avoid invisible dangers.
I copied the whole plot in its entirety, and the reason for doing so was to tell people who wanted to see the movie to think twice. The film has a fantasy background, but there are no special effects, no character dialogue, no reversal of the plot, no climax, and the only heroine of the film does not even have a name.
The film is based on the best-selling novel of the Austrian writer Marlen Haushofer, probably in order to highly restore the book, and the monologue and reflection of a lonely woman runs through the entire film, and I am afraid that this is exactly the case, such a very philosophical film, mixed reviews.
But in any case, this film has laid an unshakable point in my mind.
Some people see the loneliness and desolation, some people sullenly scold the mother, and some people appreciate the beautiful scenery. ----- is completely naked
King of Thorns in the Ancient City
This is a very brain-burning science fiction anime movie, the movie has been watched for nearly two years, probably the story is a little blurred, the only thing I remember is that the sleeping beauty fairy tale throughout the movie. I have to mention that it is such a movie that has completely reversed my adaptation of Japanese anime. It is also this movie that makes me feel that the original anime science fiction can be wonderful to this extent. However, the passion soon faded from the film from the mind and began to slowly fade. I have to say that compared to this kind of science fiction film with brain-burning philosophy, "Pleasant Goat" and "Bear Haunting" can attract me more.
But after such a long time, when I was ready to turn this movie again, I had a vague feeling of excitement.
The film is set in an era when the world was plagued by a petrified disease called "Medusa", and the infected people passed the incubation period of the virus, and it took only 12 days to die and there was no cure. At this time, the scientific research and development company Venus gate claimed to preserve the hope of life for human beings through frozen sleep, but only 160 people around the world were eligible to enter the cryocapsules, and the heroine was selected, and she would be forced to separate from her twin sisters. When the heroine wakes up, she finds herself in an extremely strange headquarters and is attacked by a group of unknown monsters.
PS: If you really can't understand it, you can search for the original comic of the movie first. Don't define a movie as a bad movie because you can't understand it, this is a very irresponsible behavior.
North Wall
This is one of the best mountaineering adventure movies I've ever seen, not one. The film is based on real events in the history of Germany in World War II, so much so that in the film's introduction, there is even a passage like this: "In 1936, the Nazis launched a national youth challenge to the back of the Alps, many people thought it was the wall of death, but there were still 2 German teenagers who challenged and finally failed." People found their bodies in the snow-capped mountains, and one of them clutched a small page of blood and wrote, "Give me a set of equipment." I can climb to China..." ”
As a film like this, I don't want to comment on it in depth. Because this is a good movie, it should be said that it is a very good movie. I would like to talk to you more about the story behind this film.
There is still a gap between the movie and the real story, and the real rescue is more complicated and tragic than in the movie.
Toni Kurz was suspended alone in a snowstorm all night after watching 2 companions fall, their lives and deaths unknown, and the rescue was forced to evacuate due to bad weather. The next day he miraculously woke up, but one of his arms was frozen and unable to move.
The rescue team could not reach him below, so they had to shout and ask him to find a way to put the rope down and bring it up. He was forced to cut the rope below, and then try to climb more than ten meters high to reach his companions who were unknown to life and death, then cut the rope between them, and then break the rope, divide it into small strands, and connect them to reach a sufficient length. When he climbed to his companion's place, he found that his companion had already died of suffocation due to the tightening of the rope.
It was such an almost insurmountable task that Toni took a full 5 hours to complete with only one hand left. When the rescue received the rope that was hanging down and connected to the thick rope, it was found that the length of the rope was not long enough, so it had to be connected again. After the rope is connected, let Toni pull it up and tie it up, and then slowly climb down on his own.
It was almost an almost impossible task again, and Toni spent a long time sliding down to a height just a few meters above the rescue team's head, where he encountered knots of two ropes that could not pass through his descender. After struggling desperately for a few minutes, he shouted out the last words of his life and gave up completely.
