176, "Pillow Whisper": The 1959 film, directed by Mike Gordon, starring Rock Hedson and Doles Day, is still the most popular genre of joy in Hollywood, but the story of this film is interesting, and although the performance seems to be slightly contrived today, it is very compatible with the overall style of the film, coupled with the exquisite scene design, making the film look relaxed and pleasant.

177. "Hardcore Henry": A 2016 film, self-directed and self-starred by Ilya Schuler. If you are a shooter fan, I believe that this film will make you excited, if you are just a simple fan, the 90-minute action scene of this film will be dizzying. However, the film is more devout than many Hollywood game adaptations, and the action scenes are designed to cover almost all the guns and combat modes that will appear in this type of game.

178 Wanted: A 2008 film directed by Timmer Beckman Batov and starring James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, and Morgan Freeman. Today, 8 years later, the action scenes such as bullet turns and flying cars picking up people in this film are still creative, and the world view setting of the League of Assassins also allows this film to have a mature narrative background, and the action style of this film is its own faction, which alone is stronger than many action movies in recent years.
Entertainment Index: ★★★★
179, "2012": 2009 film, directed by Roland Emmerich, starring John Cusack, Amanda Pitt, Chevat Edgar Ford, Sandy Newton and so on. Hollywood special effects disaster film benchmark; Emmerich shows the disaster scene vividly in his own area of expertise, and the magnificent special effects scene looks shocking; however, the large number of character portrayals cause the script to be not compact enough in rhythm to become the most criticized part of the film.
180, "Not Seen, Not Scattered": 1998 film, directed by Feng Xiaogang, starring Ge You and Xu Fan. Feng's romantic comedy, with three timelines as the main narrative line, this film is more coherent than "Party A and Party B", the sense of humor is comparable, and the overall sketch style is still prominent; the whole process of shooting in the United States will focus on the theme of the "immigration fever" of the Chinese people, both affirmation and certain ironic denial, compared to "Party A and Party B", more point-to-point.

181: The Snake's Embrace: A 2015 film directed by Herogueira. Recently, I have seen one of the most dreary films, this film has a high intention and unique performance techniques, gradually enlarging the civilization of the Amazon River through black and white images, and finally expressing the helplessness of the collapse and demise of primitive culture in a way similar to "Tree of Life". While the creative method is breathtaking, it also completely blocks the connection between the film and the general audience.
Entertainment Index: ☆
182, "Endless": 1999 film, directed by Feng Xiaogang, starring Ge You, Wu Qianlian and Fu Biao. Still sketch-style light comedy, laughter rhythm control is still in place, still full of Beijing flavor, the script is less satirical to the real society, but more attention is paid to the emotional interaction between the characters, Fu Biao's performance can be described as the biggest highlight of this film.
183. "Assembling Number": 2007 film, directed by Feng Xiaogang, starring Zhang Hanyu, Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang, Liao Fan. Review. To this day, this film can still be called one of the most successful films in the history of domestic war films; the war scenes are cruel, the characters are three-dimensional and plump, and Zhang Hanyu's performance is real and natural; although the film is rendered in place on the script, there are still some shortcomings of excessive sensationalism when you think about it.
184. "The Red Letter": A 2004 film directed by Bian He. An extremely embarrassing film, because if viewed as a crime suspense genre film, the narrative of the case can be described as a tiger's tail, and the large-scale love scene makes the case at the beginning of the film completely become a decoration; if it is an erotic film, the very limited fragrant scenes also make this film unable to attract enough attention.

185. "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit": 1992 film, directed by Zhang Yimou, starring Gong Li, Liu Peiqi and Lei Gesheng. A film that truly reflects the folk customs of northwest China in the early 90s, Gong Li perfectly interprets the image of a stubborn rural Chinese woman with an image of a soiled slag and a simple performance, and explains the legal concept of the time from point to point with a complaint of this role, playing a role in edutainment. With the advancement of film technology, perhaps even Zhang Yimou himself can no longer direct such a film that is truly narrative-centered, without special effects and sensationalism.

186 Human Purge Project 3: The Year of the Election: A 2016 film directed by James De Monak. This series comes to the third part, it can be said that the creative concept of "purge" has been completely exhausted, the scene display of the anarchic purge and massacre has been reduced to a slide show, and the design of the action scenes has become tedious and monotonous; and the practice of forcibly moving the film closer to politics in the script is not successful, and can only be called a "random fabrication" that conforms to it.
187, "The Hunt for the Barbarians": 2016 film, directed by Taiga Viditti, starring Julian Dinissen and Sam Neil. A very interesting film, the rhythm is relaxed and humorous, the photography is picturesque, the performance is real and natural, the soundtrack is fresh and melodious, and the hunt of a wolf before and a tiger is interpreted as easy and healing, making the cost a great family fun film.
188. "Jack the Man 2: Never Look Back": Released in October 2016, directed by Edward zwick, starring Tom Cruise, Kobi Smudges, and Danika Yarosh. Compared with the previous work, this film is extremely mediocre; although it is reasonable to add the concept of "family" to the lone hero Jack Richard in the narrative, it becomes extremely awkward under the cooperation of the three main actors who have no chemical reaction at all, and does not provide effective assistance for the main line of the story "solving the case", which ultimately leads to a more messy narrative that is not rigorous enough; and as an action type film, although the action scenes are more dense, it lacks the exquisitely designed drama code like the previous valley sniper battle, just blindly chasing and fighting, Today, when aesthetic fatigue is serious, it seems extremely mediocre.
189 Bad Mama: A 2016 film co-directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. Although it is a "mother" film, the first hour of the film is full of all kinds of jokes and there is no lack of "yellow riot" paragraphs, which can be described as all-encompassing; and the next 40 minutes are like most similar films with family, family affection, and friendship as the ink point, and in the end, it is nothing more than a popular bridge that makes a loser a winner in life.
190 Midnight Escape: A 2016 film directed by Jeff Nichols. Typical Nichols style film, a very common children's science fiction adventure theme into religious beliefs, and then with a literary approach to tell his best father-son relationship, it can be said that after "Seeking Asylum", Nichols once again achieved a breakthrough genre film, and in the climax part created his first visual spectacle of watching this year's film.
191: A 2013 film directed by Paul Figg and starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. Typical comic comedy, the use of dual protagonists and the fusion of action crime elements are not new, but the biggest advantage of the film is also reflected in the living treasure of Brock and McCarthy, the strong contrast and difference in the personality of the two characters is extremely well interpreted by the two, after winning the Oscar, Bullock once again turned back into "Silly Big Sister" is also no sense of violation, the two super chemical reaction has become the biggest guarantee in the film's perception. However, too much focus on comedy elements on the mouth cannon is still a certain degree of fatigue.
192 Avril and the Fictional World: A 2015 film directed by Kristen DanMills and Frank Yegengi. Both the style and the script of this film are more adult, and the theme of ecological balance and equality is still wrapped under the background of the steampunk world view; fortunately, the relaxed and bright atmosphere makes the viewing rhythm of this film seem more relaxed.
193 Angels and Devils: A 2009 film directed by Lon Howard and starring Tom Hanks, Ivan McGregor, and Ayellet Zuyer. The genre of this series (religion + suspense puzzle) is a personal favorite genre; as a prequel to the Da Vinci Code, although the film also focuses on the puzzle solving process, it lacks a sense of historical heaviness, which eventually reduces the film to a sightseeing film that listens to Hans Zimmer's magnificent and exciting soundtrack and looks at the appearance of The Cathedrals in Rome.
194: The Da Vinci Code: A 2006 film directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks, Audrey Tato, Ian McLean, Paul Bethany, and Jean Renault. A film that I like quite a lot, the interlocking puzzles and the history of the story make the film very fascinating, and the final ending in Hans Zimmer's very fatalistic soundtrack and Tom Hanks' excellent performance are quite touching, and also draw a perfect end to the beginning and end of the film.
195: "Dante's Code": Released on October 28, 2016, directed by Lon Howard, starring Tom Hanks, Felicity Jones and Ben Foster. The film is still very good in terms of entertainment, and the European humanistic history and places of interest run through the main line of the film, providing both visual enjoyment and decryption services for the main line; however, the more and more grand theme of the film script (finally began to save global human beings) is becoming more and more stingy in the narrative, lacking the original depth of thinking of the original series; another groove that has to be mentioned is that Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is unoriginal, and it is completely using the theme soundtrack of the first two works and "Interstellar" to this film, and even the most basic sincerity is not paid.
196 After the Lights Off: A 2016 film directed by David F. Sandberg. Although the setting of the film "Ghost Fear of Light" is not novel, it is reasonable to say that the "Ghost Fighting" link can still play tricks and novelties through this setting. Unfortunately, although the film unveils all kinds of lights like eighteen martial arts, it is basically disappointing to use the "illumination" trick, and it also makes individuals wonder about the film's praise and high box office in North America.
197: A 2010 film directed by James Mangold and starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. Easy and witty plus love element "Mission Impossible" film, whether it is Cruise or Diaz's role is their own interpretation of the career of the routine type of character, the action scene design is not tense and exciting, but the overall is quite relaxed.
198: The Outcast: A 2014 film directed by Edwardswick. As a biopic, this film is remarkable in character shaping, but it is too straightforward and realistic in the narrative of the film's theme chess, if it can be as smart as "The Big Short", the look and feel of this film will inevitably improve a lot.
199. Doctor Strange: Released on November 4, 2016, directed by Scott Drikson, Benedict Cumberbatch, TildaSventon, Chevat Edgar Ford, etc. Typical Marvel assembly line films, including visual effects, humor elements, easy rhythm and many other advantages, but also has the most fatal shortcomings of this series to today - routines; almost unchanged framework and structure make the film even if it has very magnificent special effects still have a lack of look and feel in the action scene, fortunately, the final decisive battle scene of the film does not paranoidly continue to use "hand-to-hand combat", but uses the "wisdom" that is very consistent with the protagonist character settings, so that the film has a little serendipity.
200: Dance of the Death Row: A 2001 film directed by Mark Foster and starring Billy Bobsonton, Harry Berry, and Heath Ledger. The themes of loneliness, confusion and despair have made the film always in repression, coupled with the exploration of human and moral issues such as race, family, society and other people, making the film style appear more cold, and even the passionate scenes have been evolved by the style to be extremely painful, depressed and helpless. It is also under the tone of this film style that Harry Berry played the best performance of his career, several crying scenes were expressed in place, and the psychology of the character's pain to despair was really expressed, which became the biggest attraction of the film.
201 Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: A 2001 film directed by Chris Columbus and starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, etc. As the first work in the series, it can be described as a pure children's film in terms of style, whether it is a Quidditch game or the final puzzle pass, it pays more attention to fun and gameplay; and the sophisticated scene layout and excellent special effects and soundtrack highlight the advantages of the film in hardware technology, and also objectively shows warner's emphasis on this series; however, the film still has the drawbacks of the long and protracted narrative of the first part of the series, and the editing connection of some scenes is also too blunt, affecting the coherence of the film's viewing.
202 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: A 2002 film directed by Chris Columbus. It still has excellent special effects and sophisticated scenes, and the puzzle solving process with suspense elements in the narrative makes the film more attractive than the previous game.
203 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: A 2004 film directed by Alfonso Caron. The most obvious improvement in the look and feel, the discovery of Ron and He's sensitive love line and other small details is a surprise, coupled with Alfonso's strong control and scheduling ability to make this film the key to the beginning and end of the series (embodied in the film's image style processing, dark tone processing makes the film look heavier), supplemented by the growth of the characters in the script (such as Harry who was very angry at the beginning, Ron and Hermione who opened at the beginning), so that the film's look and feel have been significantly improved.
204 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: A 2005 film directed by Mike Neville. The film with the "Triwizard Tournament" as the main line can be described as the most interesting one in the series, and the exquisite and excellent scene design can also be called the most artistic one in the series; however, the 157-minute length does not better make a more three-dimensional and plump character portrayal of the many newly added characters, and also makes this film the weakest story in the series; fortunately, at the end, voldemort played by Ralph Fiennes is full of aura for the first time, successfully leading the series into darkness.
205 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: In 2007, Directed by David Yates, the series director changed hands again, but David Yates eventually directed the last four in its entirety, which also maintained the film's stylistic integrity. Speaking of this film, the overall structure of the script framework has not changed much, but the role of the female teacher played by the newly added Staunton is more eye-catching, but even so, it still does not change the common problem of too loose and protracted in the narrative of the series; fortunately, the last big battle gives full play to Yates's advantage in directing action scenes, making this bridge section the best action scene in the series so far.
206, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince": In 2009, the film, which is still directed by Yates, is darker and heavier in story and style, and also makes the film completely move towards adulthood. The script also returns to the process of slightly suspenseful reasoning in the first three parts of the series, always holding suspense about the true identity of the character of "Half-Blood Prince". It is worth mentioning that Yates's excellent control of the action scenes, the Death Eater Night Raid Leslie's house is extremely tense in terms of camera scheduling, editing and soundtrack, and at the same time, it also has a full preparation for the future combination of Harry and Ginny. Unfortunately, the shortcomings of the loose and procrastinating narrative of the series still make the overall look and feel of the film discounted.
207. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1): A 2010 film directed by David Yates, this film is the opening of the now popular finale split and the best one. As the previous episode, the film uses a large narrative to really alleviate the narrative burden for the next episode, of course, which also makes this film the most stable rhythm in the series; however, the opening and closing chase scenes Yates still maintain a high standard, the former showing a high-speed battle through special effects, while the latter highlights the sense of reality through handheld photography and excellent end scheduling and zero soundtrack, the look and feel are very smooth and excellent, and Dis pratt's first series soundtrack also adds a lot to the film.
208 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows :Part 2: A 2011 film directed by David Yates. Personally watched the second only one in the series finale after "The Lord of the Rings 3". Through the reasonable preparation of the upper part, the film really has enough space to show the final battle of good and evil magic, and also allows Yates to successfully abandon the shortcomings of his narrative, apply his best action processing to the fullest, and then with the best soundtrack of the series to set off the atmosphere of the film's decisive battle to the extreme, and finally show the audience an epic duel.
209. "Mountains and Rivers of the Past": 2015 film, directed by Jia Zhangke, starring Zhao Tao, Zhang Yi, Liang Jingdong, Dong Zijian and Zhang Aijia. Compared with "Destiny of Heaven", Jaco Chang weakened the social criticism this time, and the narrative sequence also adopted direct narration, completely diverging his feelings for the homeland and the deceased, unfolding the past, present and future three eras through three different frames and different main languages, and the film used the two theme music of "GoWest" and "Cherished" is also very compatible, coupled with Zhao Tao's consistent high-quality performance, the film is still within the normal level of the section chief.
210: Original Sin: A 2001 film directed by Michael Christopher and starring Antonio Banderas, Angelina Jolie, and Thomas Jane. The narrative rhythm of this film is extremely broken due to the blunt editing, coupled with the lack of rigorous script logic itself, resulting in an extremely boring viewing process, but fortunately, the three main performances are extremely outstanding.
211. "Donkey Got Water": Released on October 28, 2016, co-directed by Zhou Shen and Liu Lu, starring Ren Suxi, Dali, Liu Shuailiang, Pei Kuishan, and Aruna. Under the strong amway of many friends, I still went into the theater to watch this film. The script and performance of this film are undoubtedly the most outstanding among many domestic films this year, borrowing ancient irony and the excavation of human nature are very in place, and the performance of comedy can also make the audience better bring in, and the performance of a group of actors led by Ren Suxi is also very tense; however, the second half of the script still has a common common disease of domestic films - excessive sensationalism eventually gives people in order to incite and incite, and there is a performance, although it is relatively excellent, but it is still very dramatic, so that this film lacks the texture that the film should have.
212, "Waltz with Bashir": A 2008 film directed by Ali Foreman. The animation to recreate the massacre in the Lebanese refugee camp in 1982 redefines the documentary genre in form; the film is full of strong anti-war atmosphere from beginning to end, with excellent pictures and excellent soundtrack; the animation form seems to beautify the massacre scene that should be like a purgatory version, but in fact, this reality is more directly impacted by the audience's hearts, and the real picture of the last 50 seconds completely sublimates this emotion, so that the film finally has a high degree of symmetry.
213 "Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle": Released on November 11, 2016, directed by Ang Lee, starring Joe Erwin, Kristen Stewart, Garnett Hedland, Van Dissel, steve Martin. The most topical film of the year, 120 frames of new technology to enhance the viewing experience to an unprecedented new era, although the film in the script into the anti-war, reality show and other common elements, but the real core theme is still Ang Lee's "divinity" of "life exploration" of the discussion, unfortunately too many flashbacks lead to the script is fragmented and scattered, the overall impact on the film's perception.
214: "The Heroine": A 1970 film. Taiwan's classic martial arts films, 180 minutes of narrative smooth and orderly, rhythm control is appropriate, truly achieve wit and courage, and it is still not outdated to watch movies today; and this film truly has epoch-making achievements can be described as photographic pictures, and the exquisite composition makes every frame of the film worth remembering. It's just that the film script adds too many Buddhist elements to make the individual not very like it.
215, "King Arthur": 2006 film, this film proves that Fuquia is not suitable for directing large-scene films, the opening and final two big scuffles in the film are edited in the scene, the picture connection is obviously broken, fortunately, the ice sniper and the final battle are more enduring, and the action scenes can be described as mixed; many of the main supporting characters, including Arthur, are extremely facial, lack of the most fundamental character emotional preparation, resulting in the lack of the most fundamental persuasiveness of the actions of these characters, and also make the script theme "freedom" compared to " Braveheart is 100 beats Gladiator.
216: A 2003 film directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bakken, Lawrence Oliver, etc. The film can be described as an extremely vivid and standard acting class, the standard of group drama can be described as textbook level; the script is extremely dark and depressing, the excellent editing makes the narrative of the film always maintain full of tension, and the final ending invisibly superimposes the dark temperament of the film while making people sigh, because no matter how important life continues.
217 Goodbye Lenin: A 2003 film directed by Wolfgang Beck and starring Daniel Bruch, Katharine Sass, and Chupan Hammatova. The film's script sets the historical background in the 90th year of the merger of East and West Germany, telling a "mother-child relationship" with a story that is very similar to "A Beautiful Life", but the film is still very creative in its own relaxed and humorous way, so that the entire society that has died out continues to continue in a small room, which makes people feel a lot of feelings at the same time, but also moved by the love of the film and weeps, and the smile of the mother at the end is really unforgettable.
218, "When Each Boy" is a 2016 film directed by Richard Linklater and starring Wilbright, Zoedage, Ryan Guzman and others. The film script is alive and artistic version of "American Pie", which can be said to fully display the most restrained and unexpressed side of american teenagers in the whole "Boyhood", and sports, studies, etc. are ultimately all for the purpose of "pampering sisters".
219, "Full of Golden Armor": 2006 film, directed by Zhang Yimou, starring Zhou Runfa, Gong Li, Jay Chou and Liu Ye. The biggest advantage of this film can be said to be the luxurious scene design and the blinding golden costume, the script portrays several characters as a whole, but the details in the key rebellion link are insufficient, resulting in the final rebellion climax Part of the empty scene, lack of support, typical gold and jade outside the defeat. However, the performances of several leading actors are still quite standard, and they are not as bad as online reviews.
220, "I am not Pan Jinlian": Released on November 18, 2016, directed by Feng Xiaogang, starring Fan Bingbing, Guo Tao, Zhang Jiayi, Dapeng and so on. The script of this film is very positive energy, just like the code of conduct of leading cadres who are rooted in Miao Hong, fortunately, Xiao Gang cannon is still in place this time, and the film is relatively balanced through quite dense black humor; the overall format of Fang Heyuan is in line with the tone of the film, and successfully covers up fan Bingbing's acting skills; overall, it is still the best standard of Feng Xiaogang in recent years.
221: Released on November 15, 2016, Peterberg directed by Peterberg, based on the worst oil spill in U.S. history. This film can be said to be the most watchable of the films released in recent times, the thrilling and exciting rhythm after the disaster, with the excellent texture of the flame special effects and the excellent soundtrack of the rendering atmosphere, make this film full of appeal, but the accident cause of the first half with a lot of "drilling" technical terms is slightly boring and tedious compared with the second half.
222: A 2004 film directed by Richard Al and starring Billy Crudup and Claire Denise. A typical British film, luxurious costumes and scenes are in stark contrast to the dark and deep script, but the key changes in the historical background of social reform and women's independence are not deeply excavated in this film, and can only be said to be the point; but also let the real focus of the film stay in the theme "performance", fortunately, Crudup can be said to dedicate the most wonderful performance of his actor's career.
223. "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu": A 1990 film co-directed by Hu Jinquan and Xu Ke, starring Xu Guanjie, Ye Tong, Jacky Cheung, Zhang Min and so on. This film is known as the opening work of the new martial arts movie, but the personal perception is more in form than substance, the film script adaptation is slightly scattered, the overall bias is chapter-oriented, the continuity is not strong, and the perception is much worse than the sequel; but Xu Guanjie's jianghu atmosphere and the city atmosphere of The fusion of Ling Huchong is indeed the most successful interpretation of this role on the big screen; of course, Huang Xia's "A Laugh in the Sea" is more like the soul of the film itself. Not only does the film have an indelible mark, but also allows the film as a whole to be buried in the classic singing.
224. "Smiling Proud of jianghu 2: Undefeated in the East": A 1992 film directed by Cheng Xiaodong, one of the pinnacle works of Hong Kong-style martial arts films, and the beautiful Kasi is a leader in this genre. This film leaves the audience with the most perfect oriental undefeated in the image, and also leaves a classic soundtrack for the audience; and the many classic lines added after the reasonable adaptation of the original work push the fate of the film to the peak, so that the film can be literate and martial, and also let the viewer deeply feel that the best era of martial arts movies is gone.
225, "Oriental Undefeated 2: The Rise of the Storm": A 1993 film, co-directed by Cheng Xiaodong and Li Huimin, starring Lin Qingxia, Wang Zuxian and Yu Rongguang. After the advent of the previous work, Hong Kong martial arts movies set off a "oriental undefeated" wind, countless films starring Lin Qingxia male and female as the main actors have come out, a group of creators to create this film as the theme of the script to emphasize their orthodox identity, but unfortunately the script of this film finally completely out of control, reduced to a strange chaos out of the nest of farce, and finally only left the classic song "Laughing Red Dust".
226 Cat and Mouse Game: A 2002 film directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, and Amy Adams. The retro style of the 60s itself is pleasing to the eye with the dark yellow picture sense, and several of the main actors have also given extremely wonderful performances, especially Leonardo and Amy Adams, who were still very young; as for the script of this film, the smooth look and feel proves that Laos is definitely one of the most storytelling directors.
227 Vanilla Sky: A 2001 film directed by Cameron Crowe and starring Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, and Kurtrazel. A science fiction philosophical film wrapped in elements such as suspense, thriller, and love, the theme is still the philosophical thinking of dreams and reality, and the success of science on dreams to achieve the ideal of life to enhance the depth of the script, the integration of love elements also makes the film a little more romantic. The performances of several leading actors are also outstanding, especially Cameron Diaz once again subverted the personal image of a vase that is completely silly and sweet to her, and dedicates a very good performance standard.
228 Love is Dog Food: A 2000 film directed by Alessandro Gonzalez Iñárritu. Iñárritu's directorial debut, which is also the first of his "Destiny Trilogy"; adopts a multi-line narrative approach, through three small stories about homeless people, working-class people, and white-collar people at different levels, truly reflecting Mexico's social problems, and through the dog will eventually be three stories in tandem, it seemed very novel at the time.
229: A 2002 film directed by Martin Circuss and starring Daniel De Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Cameron Diaz. Scorsese's best street gangster film, integrated into the 19th century New York City from the decline of the historical background, so that the overall film script is thicker, but unfortunately the 3-hour length is still unable to build a complete number of characters in the film, some of the characters are like a sloppy flower; fortunately, the hardware technology of this film is quite strong, under Martin's scheduling, whether the cinematography, editing, soundtrack, costumes, scenes have reached a certain level, but also let the fluency of the film's narrative be guaranteed; of course, no one can deny the true soul of this film - Lewis's performance, whether it is eyes, voice, or expression, is showing his talent for the audience, and he is worthy of being the first film emperor in film history.
230, "Ocean's Edge": Released on November 25, 2016, co-directed by Ron Clements and John Musk. Disney's second animation work of the year, the story structure adopts its own best "princess mode", the excellent picture is still the most lethal weapon to please the audience's eyeballs, and the overall rhythm is also a lively family fun. However, the biggest drawback of the film is its lack of creativity, but it is put on the market in the most decent and conservative way.
231. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: Released on November 26, 2016, directed by David Yates, starring Eddie Redmayne, Catherine Waterston, Dan Fowler, Alison Sadore and others. Yates continues to direct Aunt Rowling's new wizarding world, and the film inherits the fine production of the Harry Potter series, gorgeous and elegant; however, the film also retains the drawbacks of Yates's loose narrative, which makes the pace of the film unable to remain smooth, but the magic battles he is good at still maintain a certain level.
232, "All the Time": A 2002 film directed by Stephen Dadley and starring Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Julian Moore, and Ed Harris. In the personal film record, the actress performs the strongest group drama, the rich inner drama is complex and moving under the interpretation of the three "goddesses", and the performance of Nicole Kidman stands is more unforgettable; and the script promoted by such a powerful performance digs deeply and explores the "life and death" at the same time, it also represents the liberation of women's minds in an era, compared with last year's "Women In Politics Theorists", which can be regarded as a liberation and sublimation of the soul on the same theme.
Viewing index: ★★★★ ☆
233 Training Day: A 2001 film directed by Anthony Fawquia and starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawk. If it were not for the Oscar-level performances of the two leading actors, this film would be as cheesy and uninteresting as other films directed by Fukuiah, such as the same street crime story, and the familiar black police routines make the film have no more highlights except for the performance, which can only be said to be decent.
234. "Ghost of Qiannu": 1987 film, directed by Cheng Xiaodong, starring Zhang Guorong, Wang Zuxian and Wu Ma. Relive the works of the peak era of Hong Kong films. With the theme of "Human Ghost Love", it has provided the audience with unforgettable characters, shapes, soundtracks, and theme songs, creating a generation of classics.
Entertainment Index: ★★★★ ☆
235. "Ghost of Qiannu 2: The Road to Man": A 1990 film directed by Cheng Xiaodong and starring Zhang Guorong, Wang Zuxian, Jacky Cheung, Li Jiaxin and Wu Ma. Revisiting, as a sequel, this film is the favorite of the personal trilogy; compared with the first one, it has a more imaginative martial arts design and more humorous and witty elements, which makes the film's perception more relaxed; and this revisit has another view of the story, borrowing the political metaphor of the past and the special era of 1990 to make the depth of the script thicker.
236. "Qiannu Ghost 3: Dao Dao": A 1991 film directed by Cheng Xiaodong and starring Liang Chaowei, Wang Zuxian and Jacky Cheung. As the third part of the series, this film still can't escape the routine that the Hong Kong classic series must end every 3, the repetitive script settings and character settings are not new, and the only thing to watch can only be that the performances of a few actors are still very good, so that the film as a whole maintains a relaxed atmosphere.
237: A 1983 film directed by Jean Baker and starring Isabelle Adjani, Alain Sushuang, Suzanne Froen, etc. The goddess Adjani has given an extremely exquisite performance in this film, playing a complex woman who hovers in fiery fever and anger and fragility to be extremely perfect; the monologue narrative method on the script divides the film into several chapters at the same time, but also makes the character shaping more diversified, three-dimensional and plump at the same time, but also for the film's complex character relationship vein is clear, but also makes the final ending of the film logically clear and convincing.
238, "Lady Pepper's Fantasy Castle": Released on December 2, 2016, directed by Tim Burton, starring Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Samuel Jackson and others. Although the film still retains Bolton's visual whimsy, it can still not be denied that this film is an atypical "Tim Burton" movie, and the whimsical setting did not grab the script this time, resulting in "gold and jade outside and failure" like the previous works; the setting of the film's dark fairy tale allows the film to maintain a certain appeal in the narrative part, while also making the film script more comprehensive, but after the villain really appears, the audience's long-awaited "Strange War" is quite surprising to the "Little Devil Is Home" mode. It also makes the film the most balanced commercial film in Bolton's nearly decade.
239. "The Sword of the Three Young Masters": Released on December 2, 2016, directed by Er Dongsheng and starring Lin Xinxin, He Rundong, Jiang Yiyan, and Jiang Mengjie. This film once again confirms the decline of Chinese martial arts films, even though the film is extremely sophisticated in terms of costumes, props, etc., but too many special effects and the use of slow motions are still extremely destructive of the coherence of martial arts actions; another big failure of this film is casting, and the blunt line skills make the film's dialogue modern. Throughout the film, although the film still leaves a few good fight scenes, it still cannot change the essence of this film with "martial" and no "hero".
240. "The League of Spies": Released on November 30, 2016, directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillardio. As a love film in the context of war, this film as a whole is not lost.
241, "Ten Faces Ambush": 2004 film, directed by Zhang Yimou, starring Zhang Ziyi, Andy Lau, Jin Chengwu and Song Dandan. As a grand martial arts giant production after the old man's "Hero", the script of this film is really not a success, and the film dominated by love scenes eventually appears to be narrow in pattern, and it also lacks the "chivalry" of martial arts films; however, the film is still very ornamental in martial arts design, photography, costumes, soundtracks and other aspects; as for the performance, Zhang Ziyi's performance still maintains a good standard, and the complex emotional psychological struggle of the characters is transmitted extremely well through the eyes, but the performance of the two Heavenly Kings male protagonists personally feels that it is even more dramatic than Song Dandan.
242: A 2010 film directed by Toniscott and starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, and Rosali o Dawson. As a real event adaptation of the disaster theme, the small pattern of disaster accidents is destined not to have too many big scenes, but TonisCotte's last work in life will play the advantages of the small pattern to the fullest, through the rapid editing and soundtrack of the cooperation, so that the film from beginning to end in a tense and exciting high-speed operation, the viewing rhythm is very smooth.
243: "China Syndrome": 1979 film directed by James Bridges. A film with extremely thoughtful narrative methods, the script is based on the TV reporter's disclosure of the truth of the hidden accident of the nuclear power plant, which actually has a serious political implication, but Bridges is very clever in the narrative of the entire script to completely hide this point, so that the film presents a relatively entertaining way, which can be called a successful combination of entertainment and art. The three leading actors also contributed extremely successful performances, injecting soul into the main bone of the film.
244. "Your Name": Released on December 2, 2016, directed by Makoto Shinkai. After the release of this film, it triggered a phenomenon-level movie viewing boom, and the word-of-mouth and box office were both harvested. The film itself inherits the excellent painting style and soundtrack of Makoto Shinkai's works, and the expression of emotion is also its best routine; but it is this routine that exposes Makoto Shinkai's shortcomings in narrative, and the setting of "soft science fiction time and space travel" in the second half of the story makes the film lose the novelty created in the first half, and finally falls into the cliché.
245. "Captain Sully": Released on December 9, 2016. Directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks, Alan Eckhart and Laura Linney. The 86-year-old old cowboy followed "American Sniper" and once again presented a realistic American hero movie, compared to the previous film, this film presents a disaster event in a multi-angle narrative manner, which not only enriches the shaping of the characters but also makes the film appear more objective, and truly shapes a story about ordinary heroic characters; and Lao Tang's calm and delicate performance method is found to be extremely highly restored after the appearance of the prototype characters at the end of the film, and the grasp of tone and subtle expressions is very in place, injecting an indispensable soul into the most important character shaping of the film.
246 Hacksaw Ridge: Released on December 8, 2016, directed by Mel Gibson and starring Andrew Garfield, Sam Worthington, Vince Vaughan, Hugo Viven, and Teresa Palmer. Another phenomenon-level film that has triggered a boom in domestic movie-watching word-of-mouth. After many years, Mel Gibson returned with this film, providing the audience with the most real and cruel battlefield scene after "Saving Private Ryan", and using his own small budget to build a hacksaw ridge like purgatory; however, the script was too thin for the character shaping, and the addition of some original scenes (the opening love scene was particularly obvious) failed to add icing on the cake to the film, but appeared to be snake-like, which eventually led to the imbalance of the film story, and also made the atmosphere of the film's climax part extremely outstanding, and the aftertaste was not high. Moreover, Garfield's performance, which has high hopes, can only be said to be no lost, compared to Hugo Vivian's performance, it is too childish.
247 Winter Lion: A 1968 film directed by Anthony Harvey and starring Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, and Anthony Hopkins. Typical British court drama, the script is driven by complex character inner fluctuations, so that the progress of the film maintains suspense and tension from beginning to end; the performances of Peter O'Toole and Catherine Hepburn in this film are the supreme realm of performance and become the real highlight of the film.
248, "Confused Detective": 2008 film, peter siegel directed, as an action comedy genre, the overall atmosphere of this film is lively and cheerful, Carrell's silly and cute performance style is also very suitable for this role, overall is a very good family film to pass the time.
249 Shadow Troops: A 1969 film directed by Pierre Melville. A calm, restrained, and heavy World War II drama film that depicts the combat life of the French underground resistance in a more realistic and straightforward way, and successfully portrays several simple and unpretentious national heroes, and finally deepens the humanity of the ending through the script, both criticizing the brutality of the Nazis and causing the viewer to think deeply about the helplessness of the members of the resistance organization.
Entertainment Index: ★ ☆
250, "Captain Marvel": 2016 film, directed by Matt Ross, starring Vigo Mortensen, George McKay, Frank Langgra and others. Matros's more stunning debut, the script maintains a high balance through the criticism of both modern society and idealists, and also improves the degree of completion of the script. The group performances of the four generations of actors, young and old are extremely outstanding, especially Mortensen's correct grasp of the change of the character's psychological state, and he dedicated his most outstanding performance after "Oriental Promise".
251, "The Great Wall": Released on December 16, 2016, directed by Zhang Yimou, starring Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Andy Lau and so on. This film can be said to be the closest to the "Hollywood commercial assembly line" in the true sense of Chinese films, but in view of the fact that the benchmark line of today's "Hollywood commercial assembly line" itself is already very low, so the overall standard of Zhang Yimou's "Great Wall" can be imagined, under the premise of having a good setting, this film can not be said to dig deeply, it can be said that even the most basic settings have not been filmed, even if the five armies of their own "shadowless forbidden army" can not be done in different ways on the battlefield; in the end, the film is empty and boring.
252, "The Demise of Romanticism": Released on December 16, 2016, directed by Cheng Er, starring Ge You, Zhang Ziyi, Asano Tadanobu, Yan Ni and so on. This year's rare Chinese masterpiece, Cheng Er through the neat composition, exquisite narrative, unique soundtrack to make this film a unique style of author film, the control between business and art is also very in place, a number of stars excellent acting skills to make the film's group drama quite brilliant; disrupting the narrative order of the script is quite interpretative, and personally representing the theme of the entire era at that time is also very excavatory; to say the shortcomings, that is, a few unnecessary narratives how much drag the film's hind legs.
253, "Busan Trip": 2016 film, directed by Yeon Sang-ho, starring Kong You, Jeong Youmei, Ma Dong-seok, Kim So-an and so on. As the box office champion of Korean movies this year, this film can be said to be a successful copy of the Hollywood assembly line production, with most of the advantages of "Zombie World War", the overall shooting and production have a certain level, and the script is still South Korea's own portrayal of human nature. It is extremely good in terms of ornamentation; however, the film is too casual in the treatment of many key details, resulting in more slots, and also makes the film lack the motivation to watch repeatedly, which does not reach the level of really good korean films.
254: A 1996 film directed by Pierre Dane and Luc Dane, starring Jerry Mirelière and Oliver Goulmayer. The early works of the Dane brothers are very realistic as a whole (there is no soundtrack in the whole film), and the description of the protagonist's inner moral struggles and emotional changes is extremely delicate, reflecting social problems in a very calm and restrained way, and driving the smooth viewing experience of the film with a very tense rhythm.
255: A 1993 film directed by Chris Columbus and starring Robin Williams, SallyField, and Pierce Brosnan. Chris Columbus is good at family parent-child themes, and Robin Williams is extremely good at playing such roles as a generation of laughers; the pace of the film is relaxed and pleasant, especially the treatment of the ending is different from the same type of film, so that the film does not fall into the cliché.
256, "50 First Loves": 2004 film, directed by Peter Siegel, starring Adam Sandler and Dru Barrymore. Since this film is a romantic comedy type film starring Adam Sandler, there is no need to entangle the script, perform this kind, relax and amuse is the most correct choice, and this film is a valuable balance between the three vulgar amusing and love scenes in the film starring him.
257 Italian Mission: 1969 film directed by Pete Collinson and starring Michael Kane. The original version of "Stealing the Day" is integrated into the Italian city with exquisite design, which shows irony and humor in giving british films a unique comedic atmosphere, especially the handling of the ending; Mr. Kane is handsome and dashing in the film, which makes people feel that the "old butler" was also "young master".
258 Love Holiday: A 2006 film directed by Nancy Meyers. In the very suitable Christmas holiday genre, Nancy Meyers continued to play to her advantages in the relaxed and cheerful viewing rhythm of romantic comedy films; however, the film was too long, and the script was not balanced enough in the emotional development of the two couples, making the overall look and feel of the film inferior to that of several other films directed by her.
259: The Seven Dragons: A 1960 film directed by John Sturges. As a Western produced in the Golden Age of Hollywood, the character modeling cannot be done in all aspects to make the script appear insufficient, and the practice of inexplicably forcing several main characters in the final battle part to take the bento is also too childish. Of course, the soundtrack of the film is really brilliant.
260 The Bridge: A 1959 film directed by Bohatwich. With the German young soldiers as the main perspective of the World War II film, with the simplicity and frankness of the teenagers and the reality and coldness of the adults constituting a strong conflict contrast, supplemented by the palace-level photographic composition, it shows the audience a cruel World War II offensive and defensive battle, truly achieving the simplest story and the most profound reflection.
261 Kubo and the Two Strings: A 2016 film directed by Travis Knight. Through this film, Laika Studio once again showed its unshakable position in the field of stop-motion animation, and the sophisticated oriental style of painting, rock and ancient style mixing and matching music made the film extremely enjoyable in audiovisual; unfortunately, Laika still could not long be the shortcomings of her own works in the script, and the obvious bias towards attracting adults with an overly childlike script is still obvious.
262, "Things to Come": A 2016 film directed by Mia Hansenlov and starring Isabelle Hupel. The film is like a prose poem, telling an absolutely unromantic story in a very romantic way, plain and philosophical, not critical or praised; and what injects the soul into the film is Hupel's performance, and it is her very evocative performance that injects vitality into the film's bland narrative.
Entertainment Index: ★★
263, "Hold Your Breath": In 2016, the rare quality of American thriller films, not with bloody and sexy beauties as the selling point, in a limited confined space through a very regular rhythm control for the audience to create a rather exciting viewing journey; the simple script provides the most powerful motivation for several protagonists of the film through limited line design, but unfortunately, the excessive reversal of the story weakens the logic of the film and reduces the pleasure of repeated viewing of the film.
264: A 2016 film directed by David Mackenz and starring Chris Pine, Ben Foster, and Jeff Bridges. The script of this film is the most solid of my 2016 new films, through the dialogue to make the film characters plump, the portrayal of the relationship between the characters is also extremely brilliant, giving people a very capable look; as a modern Western, this film inherits the tradition of traditional Western magnificent photography, melodious soundtrack, and gives itself a "old no one" style of perception, is my favorite English film in the new film in 2016.
265 Tony Erdmann: A 2016 film directed by Maren-Ard and starring Peter Simonesheck and Sandra Wheeler. A film without audiovisual ornamentation, it gives a feeling of extreme simplicity and unpretentiousness; Maren-Ader makes all elements of the film serve the script, and the description of the sweetness and bitterness of life is very balanced in this film.
266 Love and Friendship: A 2016 film directed by Whit Stillman. Light and witty romantic comedy, the film script is mainly supported by dialogue, in order to satirize the British social atmosphere at that time, aristocratic living habits, and the concise dialogue makes this "mouth cannon" type of film very unique, did not fall into the same type of literature, small and fresh routine, became a rare good film last year.
267, "Blood Labyrinth": In 1984, the Coen brothers became famous, the film portrayed human nature more brilliantly, and the suspicion between people became the key element to promote the direction of the story, so that the film formed a interlocking tension, making the audience feel like entering the maze; however, too many coincidences and accidents made the story more than exquisite and insufficiently neat.
268, "Rampage and Great Escape": In the 1974 film, Spielberg's early works, the style gradually moved closer to the late mature Si style, and the film's cinematography and soundtrack were more brilliant, compared to the overall rhythm control, the script was also neat. But the script process is too conformist and impatient.
269, "Riding with the Devil": A 1999 film directed by Ang Lee. Lee uses Germans and blacks as the narrative center to tell the story of the Civil War. The film is excellent in terms of cinematography, soundtrack, etc., especially several gunfights have the feeling of a classic Western movie with the soundtrack. However, it is insufficient in the shaping of key characters, which eventually makes the film show a state of mental powerlessness.
270. "Star Wars: Rogue One": Released on January 6, 2017, directed by Gary Edwards, starring Felicity Jones, Diego Runa, Jiang Wen, Zhen Zidan, Ben Mendelson and others. As the first non-Star Wars film, there is no lightsaber duel, no father-son cannibalism, not so Star Wars has become the most refreshing and touching Star Wars; the film has many deficiencies in the shaping of key characters and psychological transformation, but the film's good control of the rhythm, as well as the two-line promotion of the final battle context are scarce in last year's commercial popcorn movies, and another advantage of the film is the rendering of emotions, tragic and not indiscriminate, and the appearance of a classic character at the end of the film will push the mood to the peak. The treatment of the ending can also be described as a stroke of genius.
271 The Rhythm of My Heart's Forgetting: A 2005 film directed by Jacques Odia and starring Roman Durris, Van Lindan and Nils Ales-Thoap. A film that embraces family affection, love, and real dreams. The film is based on gangsters as the main entry point, supplemented by the realization of his dream of becoming a pianist to form a stark contrast between violence and music, as always, the typical Odia realistic style is close to the theme of the film, and the treatment of the climactic part of the ending is the finishing touch of the script.
272 Snowden: A 2016 film directed by Oliver Stone and starring Joseph Gordon Levitt and Sherlyn Woodley. The film is mainly based on Snowden's life and love in narrative, supplemented by work, and does not successfully show the key to the whole event, but under oliver Stone's dispatch, the character shaping has a distinct personality, and the two main actors also give extremely good performances, which is still a film worth watching overall.
273 Stoker: 2013 film directed by Park Chan-wook. As Park Chan-wook's first English film, this film exudes a strange "beauty" from beginning to end, and the composition, editing and soundtrack are perfect; however, the script created by "Mi Shuai" lacks surprises as a whole and is slightly routine.
274 The Girl on the Train: A 2016 film directed by Tate Taylor. The highly anticipated film, unfortunately, the actual viewing of the film is quite disappointing; as a suspense film, the narrative structure of the film is chaotic, the sufficient space has not completed the shaping of the characters, and the creation of a suspenseful atmosphere is also unsatisfactory.
275 A Man Named Ovie Decides to Die: A 2015 film directed by Hannes Helm. A touching story of gain-loss-gain, narrative, acting, cinematography, and soundtrack all have a certain level; however, the problems of lack of detail and over-idealization of the script that cannot be solved in the same type of film are still not handled very well in this film.
276 BJ's Single Diary 3: BJ's Child: A 2016 film directed by Sharon Maguire and starring Renee Zelweg, Colin Fiss, and Patrick Demsi. The script is still a routine of the series of "two men and one woman", and the story process cannot talk about the novel film in the same type of film, but it is better than the tacit chemical reaction between the three leading actors, which makes many of the laugh points in this film very comedic.
277, "Tiger Brother Tiger Brother": In 2004, the film, let Jacques Arno direct, let Jacques Arno is extremely good at animal themes, the main purpose of the script is still to protect animals back to nature, coupled with its ability to make tigers cute, so that this film as a whole is more suitable for children to watch.
278. "Passenger": Released on January 13, 2017, directed by Morten Tedum. The love film cloaked in a science fiction shell is also a tiger-tailed film, and the suspense tension created in the first half of the film is finally turned into a necessity under the impact of love, which is a pity; and the film as a whole is also like a film edited from multiple movies, and you can see the foundation of many classic films such as "Wall-E"; overall, the film looks and feels good, lacks creativity and courage.
279: A 1997 film directed by David Lynch. The film can be seen as an experimental work by Lynch before "Mulholland Road", integrating a murder into dream and reality, and the script structure is scattered and not chaotic, withstanding repeated viewing and scrutiny.
280: 1961 film directed by Luis Buñuel and starring Silvia Pinar and Francisco Laval. The theme of the film's script is the contradiction between religious idealism and reality, which profoundly satirizes the hypocrisy of religion, and the expression method seems to be secret, but it is actually straightforward and easy to understand.
281: "Spy Next Door": A 2016 film directed by Greg Mottola. Family fun type films, the film plot, the setting of jokes is monotonous, and the laughter points basically have to rely on the performances of Zach and Ella Fischer, which can still be seen.
282 Julieta: A 2016 film directed by Pedro Almodóvar. With a fluid narrative, precise composition, a soothing soundtrack with bright colors, and appropriate lust, Almodóvar once again showed his directing ability as the first master of contemporary Spanish cinema.
283: Released on January 20, 2017, directed by Dennis Villeneuve and starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Rainer, and Forrest Whitaker. As one of the most anticipated films in 2016, indeed living up to expectations, Villeneuve once again showed his talent as a director, integrating a short science fiction novel into more of its own style, making the film very ornamental in both cinematography and soundtrack, especially the expression of alien text and its worth exploring, Amy Adams also dedicated a very emotional performance, perfectly showing the glory of motherhood, showing a story with a deep philosophical meaning with the theme of "communication", and finally echoing the "loop" at the beginning and end. The theme brings the film to a climax, and also allows me to experience a handful of shocks and emotions in the nearly one-year viewing process.
284 Boys Don't Cry: A 1999 film directed by Kimberly Pierce and starring Hilary Wanke, Kolosevini, and Peter Sassgaard. The overall depressive and dark film, the script's portrayal of the characters is extremely plump under the performance of Hilary Wanke, and the slightly gentle rhythm ushers in the final rogue and repressed ending driven by the gradual story, which belongs to the typical "sadistic" film.
285: A 2002 film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and starring Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, and Philip Seymer hoffman. A very interesting romantic comedy film, Adam Sandler accurately grasped the characteristics of the character, dedicated to the most outstanding performance of his acting career; the seemingly chaotic script is actually orderly, the rhythm is properly controlled, and the dialogue design is exquisite to make the film extremely entertaining; finally, it has to be mentioned that the photography and soundtrack, the long shot and the well-composed picture are amazing, and the soundtrack is sometimes tense, sometimes joyful, sometimes romantic, ensuring the pleasure of the film's listening.
286, "Swiss Army Knife Man": 2016 film, danguan, Daniel Schnett co-directed, paul Dano, Daniel Radcliffe, Mary Elizabeth Wensted starring. The film shows the inner monologue of a lonely man, and unfolds with the "corpse" as the protagonist, which can be described as the first brain hole in 2016, with a series of whimsical yellow strips and small freshness to promote the film process, the rhythm is relaxed and pleasant, and finally the film ending is pushed to the climax by sensational means, although popular, it is extremely effective; finally, although Paul Dano is not proud, but after years of polishing, he has become a well-deserved post-80s actor acting in the author's heart.
