Million Dollar Baby (2004)
Peace came to her when she stepped to the stage.
"Show me a fighter with nothing but heart," Frankie said,"And I will show you a man waiting for a beating."
Maggie used to be lack of confidence and look down at herself. She said, she already knew she was a garbage when she came to the world. Before her first match, Frankie sent her a boxing robe with words "Mo Cuishle" stitched on it. When she won in the middleweight match, cheers and applause burst out and audience were shouting her name together "Mo Cuishle", which is from Irish language, means " My darling, my baby." Peace came to her when she stepped to the stage. 🤜🤛
Tian mi mi (1996)
Meeting you are quiet an accidental event in my life, but the sweetest.
Peter Ho-sun Chan is a Hong Kong film director, his recently released comedy American Dream in China is well-known. But maybe less people know his early movies, such as Almost A Love Story.
Qiao has very strong adaptive capacity, just like a grass seed, she can survive no matter where the wind blows her into. She is a strong minded woman, she told Xiaojun, their relationship is not the reason they came and struggle a life in Hong Kong. They both came from inland China to build their wealth here and earn a better life. Although they love each other, they still maintain in friendship. However, this chance encountered experience dims all achievement Qiao gained. The expected sweet feeling and sense of satisfaction didn't come when Qin got the wealth she always wanted. Maybe our happiness is not from the result which we are pursuing all the way but from the unexpected experience or people we met during the way.
Date back to the period when they were selling tapes of Teresa Teng's songs, Xiaojun told Qiao, " I know you usually took advantage of me, but I am afraid you won't come to find me if I have no advantage to be taken. Because you are the only friend I have in Hong Kong." One is eager for success, another is down to earth. Maybe just like the saying goes that, Great wisdom appearing slow-witted.
By the arrangement of fate, they came across again in 1996. When they smiled at each other, it seems saying, " Meeting you are quiet an accidental event in my life, but the sweetest."
American Dharma (2018)
No comment on character but the movie is conducted well
A debut of American Dharma in North America was released in Toronto Film Festival when I firstly saw it. It's a great chance to to hear what the director's opinion about Bannon, the role of this documentary, who was the executive operator of an American media and famous for being Trump's advisor during his campaign. Although the movie describes Bannon objectively, the director seems has nothing in common with Bannon's stand points and feels some kind of unacceptable about some thoughts such as Bannon compare his departure from Trumps' team to Lucifer in Paradise Lost. Actually, this documentary is an epitome of 2016 Trump's presidential election period. What makes me feel curious is the reason why Bannon compares himself to honey badger.
Xiu xiu de tie quan (2017)
Absurdity but impressive
When people's destinies have been intertwined, after sharing weal and woe, we could have a better understanding that why some people pretend to be dissipated and indifferent, but actually even they went through unfair and sorrow, they still keep a pure heart and trust in sincere feelings. In this movie " Never Say Die", the heroin Maxiao used to think Edison is a self-bragging and pompous man. But when they have gone through storm together, in her view, these shortages are just Edison's optimism and generosity to all his sufferings from unfair and people's bias. When we learn not to be shallow and follow the stereotype, the shining things or person used to be in our eyes will gradually dim. We could understand that although someone shines like a sun, they are just passengers in our life. Some people seem ordinary currently but they are the one who can accompany us go through thick and thin, experience wind and rain and help us gradually glow the light of our souls and become better. Maybe it is the reason why some people can hold their love for a lifetime, the reason why some people said, "If only life was still as when we first met"
Creed II (2018)
Fight with hatred but for love and peace.
"It doesn't make sense, but it makes dollars. Remember why you climb on the stage." Loneliness of a monster is revealed in the view of Drago's shadow in his walk out show, especially with the background music. Fight with hatred but for love and peace.
The Favourite (2018)
Love has limit, being too emotional is dangerous for relationship
Sarah is a stunning character in this movie, a supportive friend and responsible minister. It is easy to reach a consensus that Abigail's purpose to approach queen is simple, she needs a strong support to survive in the court by playing the weak to gain sympathy. As Sarah said, "I have a sense for the weak", but this blinded sense finally became her weakness. It sufficiently illustrating a fact that there is no such thing as infallibility and never let guard down before game ending.
People doubt about whether Sarah's emotion to queen also has some intention. But just as the script said, love has limit. If there is no unconditional love in world, Sarah's emotion to queen is more sincere compared to others. Their daily life is so lovely even involve bicker. Exploration of love is expressed through a sense of absurdity in this movie. Anne and Sarah know each other so well and they have too much confidence in their relationship that they dared constantly challenging the other's bottom line, but forgot to maintain their good memories in mind. A real friendship can give you strength at last, but the relationship itself is fragile.
A sentence in a poem goes like that, "If I knew my thought of you would be like this so tangled, might as well we had never acquainted." Being emotional and subjective is dangerous, because love has limit.
