6, Demon Cat Biography
"Demon Cat Biography" is directed by Chen Kaige , Huang Xuan , Someya General , Zhang Yuqi , Qin Hao , Abe Kwan, 44z Liu Movies starring Ou Hao , Zhang Tianai , etc. The film is adapted from the Japanese magical novel "Samen Kukai: The Great Tang Ghost Banquet". It tells the story of a human-speaking demon cat stirring Chang'an City , poet Bai Letian and monk Kukai jointly explored, causing a section to be deliberately investigated. The story of the buried truth surfaced. I closed the door and watched this movie three times in a row, so I thought it was a rare good movie among Chinese movies in recent years.
In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, a series of demons and ghosts occurred in Chang'an City. The crazy poet Bai Letian (Huang Xuan) and the monk Kukai (Played Someya Masata) who admired the Tang style met Chang'an, and the two followed a human-spoken cat. , But accidentally triggered a shocking secret about the rise and fall of the dynasty spanning thirty years. With the appearance of various characters one by one, the prosperous and splendid scenes of the Tang Dynasty and the hidden pains of the times are revealed one by one, presenting a picture of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty intertwined with monsters, poets, emperors, and noble concubines. I have read a lot of film reviews and analysis, and think that many parts of the story are illogical and cannot be explained at all, such as the cat's body under the bed. But I think this is a nearly perfect Chinese film. The picture of the film, the cultural atmosphere, the presentation of the Tang Dynasty prosperous age, the imagination of the story, the interweaving of love stories and human nature, are all well-received in this film. Present. Many film reviews on the Internet and analysis of the plot have pointed out the flaws and some illogical aspects of the film, but I think the direction of their analysis is wrong. My understanding is that the whole story of this movie is the practice of a monk. Mage Huiguo, incarnation of Gua Weng, gave young Kukai a reminder, and then turned a series of scenes to guide Kukai to seek the truth. This is a huge test for Kukai and a process of psychological epiphany.

Everyone is familiar with the movie
. In 2019, this movie was remade into a Chinese movie "Manslaughter". The plot of this movie is not only full of twists and turns and logic, but also a speculative discussion and improvement. Through the display of human nature, family affection, and responsibility, it highlights the preciousness and sense of responsibility of family affection. It's worth seeing.

Everyone in the film is a normal person, only in the occasional abnormality, they are squeezed and continuously deformed, and new squeezing and fission are produced in the deformation-this kind of process makes people enjoy the reality of nerve-tightening Feeling, fear of lingering condition after producing. In the constant falsification and falsification of men and lawyers, the story is peeling off layer by layer, presenting one version after another. With the reversal of the narration, the viewer's understanding of the story continues to enter the next level.

10, Mask Hotel

There were three murders in Tokyo. The police deduced from the unexplainable series left in all the crime scenes that this was a series of serial homicides with pre-announced information, and launched an investigation in this regard. The elite detective Kosuke Nitta (played by Takuya Kimura) of the Metropolitan Police Department’s search section deciphered the number to indicate the location of the next crime, and he speculated that the Cortesia Hotel in Tokyo would be the fourth scene of the murder. However, there is no clue as to who the murderer was. The police therefore decided to sneak into Tokyo Cortesia to investigate, and Nitta had to pretend to be a front desk officer to track down the murderer. He was ordered to instruct him by the excellent front desk employee Yamagishi Naomi (Nagazawa Masami) from Tokyo Cortesia. Faced with the successive emergence of guests of unknown origins, Nitta, as a criminal policeman, "takes arresting criminals as the first priority", trying to strip off the "mask" of the guests, while Shangmei, as a hotel staff, has tried to "make sure the guests' Proceeding from the principle of "safety is the first priority", hoping to protect the "masks" of the visitors, the two are like water and fire. Nitta and Naomi clashed several times due to differences in their positions. However, as the latent investigation progressed, they gradually understood each other's values as professionals, and an incredible relationship of trust began to develop between the two.
There is nothing too bizarre in this movie, and the story is simple and easy to understand. The reason why I recommend this movie is because I personally like Nagasawa Masami, and I also like Nagasawa Masami's personal charm in this movie.
Many classic movies are worth recommending, such as Shawshank’s Redemption , Brave Heart, Farewell My Concubine, Confinement Island, Pirates of Dreams , Once Upon a Time in America, Fight Club, Forrest Gump , Scent of Women, etc. They are all movies that are worth watching. A good movie is like a dish that needs to be tasted carefully.
