Watching 95 movies in 2020 is probably the sum of the number of movies I have watched in my previous life.
I am a workplace mom, and after watching 95 movies this year, I really fell in love with watching movies.
In the past, watching a movie was just watching a movie, after watching a movie, I didn't even know what to say, and some movies were very enlightened when I watched it, but after a few days, I couldn't remember what the plot was. I now feel that watching movies is not only entertainment, in fact, watching movies can increase a lot of insights, deepen personal cultural heritage, understand the customs and customs of different regions, but also trigger thinking and understanding of life, change the original view of things, and even make themselves face the difficulties in life with a positive attitude.
The motivation for watching movies at the beginning of this year was to write film reviews to participate in today's headlines of the Qingyun Plan, but slowly, watching movies became an indispensable thing in my life.
I watch movies with a favorite theme for a while. For example, for a while, Kore-eda's films were particularly fascinated, so I found films such as "Thief Family", "Sea Street Diary", "No one knows", "Non-stop", "Deeper than the Sea", "Like Father Like Son" to savor. In the appearance of family life and slow pace, hirokazu Kore-eda always makes people feel the coldness of the real world, so he has been evaluated by Western film critics as "the most serious director".

Sometimes, I especially want to watch some beautiful and sweet movies about love, travel, and food, such as "Julie and Julia", "Food, Prayer and Love", "Caravan Trip", "Philharmonic City", "India Trip", "Every Day is a Good Day", "Happy Bread", "Love Before the Dawn Breaks", "Delicious Love", "Fake Marriage" and so on. If you want to be happier when you are particularly happy, or if you want to heal when you are particularly sad, you can watch a beautiful and warm movie.
I have to say that classic things are always classics, we always like to use art to seek resonance, and we also like to explore different worlds through movies. When I watched "The Pianist of the Sea" late at night, I couldn't help but cry, I think I fell in love with 1900, he seems to have never existed in this world, but for life itself, he has lived for decades. His loneliness, his talent, makes people crazy fascinated by this character.
People on the road like to go to the bottom of the matter and waste a lot of time. Winter worries about the late arrival of summer, and summer worries about the coming of winter, so you keep going around in search of a place that is out of reach and has four seasons like summer. I'm not envious.
—"The Seamount Pianist" said in 1900

In addition, there are many classic films that can always hit people's hearts, such as "Bucket List", "Smelling Women", "Pride and Prejudice", "Rain Man", "When Happiness Knocks", "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", "Beautiful Mind", etc. "Pride and Prejudice" There are several fragments of "Pride and Prejudice" I have brushed several times, some people say: Women all over the world love Mr. Darcy.
Classics are classics, and they are difficult to surpass.
Generally two films a week, 8 a month. Some people will say, you are so idle, am I idle? I usually read it at lunchtime on weekdays, and if I don't finish reading it at all, I go home at night and wait for the child to fall asleep before continuing to brush. My husband is a movie master, he has seen many movies, in his words, my sense of viewing the film is certainly not very good, but I can only arrange it this way. Without a whole block of time, make good use of fragmented time. In 2021 I will spend less time looking at my phone, and parenting is the focus. After work and weekends, they basically take their babies, so the movies still have to be watched, and the film reviews still have to be written.

The movies I watched this year are mainly Douban high-scoring movies, in fact, I found that some movies do not have high scores, but they are also very good-looking, and they also look at personal preferences. I admire people who write very well in film reviews, and strive to watch 100 movies and write more than 30 long reviews in 2021.
