This week's two popular theatrical films have actually been previewed before, so I feel quite confident about the films.

However, have you watched all the movies that were previously previewed in theaters?

On the other hand, Douban’s weekly movie reputation list has also been updated, and there are also several new films worth paying attention to on the list this week.

Of course, let’s first take a look at the theater films.

Decryption

August 3

Another candidate for a hit summer movie, it has been screened in previews recently. Before it was officially released, the box office has already reached 50 million. At the same time, the reviews of the previews are also good.

The film is adapted from Mai Jia's novel of the same name, and the cast is also very good, with Liu Haoran, Chen Daoming, Daniel Wu and others co-starring, and John Cusack also joining.

Liu Haoran’s styling is also very impressive.

So, you can also learn about the plot summary from Douban official:

The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Mao Dun Literature Prize winner Mai Jia. The story is about the turbulent world situation in the 1940s, and it is crucial to decipher the enemy's communication codes in a timely and accurate manner.

Rong Jinzhen (Liu Haoran) has shown amazing mathematical talent since childhood and was raised by Xiao Lili (Daniel Wu), the then president of the university, and his wife Ye Xiaoning (Yu Feihong). When Rong Jinzhen entered the university, he was noticed by more people because he solved the difficult problems assigned by mathematics teacher Shees (John Cusack), including Zheng (Chen Daoming), the director of the mysterious department 701. Rong Jinzhen has since entered the door of code decryption.

Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century

August 2

This film has been screened for a longer period of time, and has been screened for a long time.

Although, I feel that this film is still a bit niche, even if the preview reviews are good, the film company is very confident in the quality of the film. However, the preview box office is just average. I feel that the final box office performance will not be particularly explosive.

However, this film itself is a niche movie, and there will definitely be a group of viewers who love it, which is fine.

The characteristic of Li Yang's films is that they are particularly fancy, with all kinds of imaginative and creative ideas, including this one, which is also a big difference in the summer season.

You can also learn about the plot summary from Douban:

On the unknown planet K, three boys chosen by fate can travel back and forth twenty years into the future by sneezing. Faced with a terrifying conspiracy to destroy the world, they have nothing but pure stupidity and single-digit combat power. How can they become heroes to fight against the super-bad villains who intend to destroy the world? The "Wang Zha" brothers, who look like adults but have extraordinary minds, represent the planet K to save the future!

Take a look.

Slam Dunk

August 3

Slam Dunk is here again.

I took it last year and I took it again this year.

It seems that there are indeed no new movies in the summer season.

Of course, there is no problem with the quality of the film itself, and it can be uploaded and watched over and over again.

Friends who are interested can also go and have a look.

We Are Always Us

August 3

I don't know much about it, but judging from the introduction, it should be a romance movie.

You can also learn about the plot summary from Douban:

Is there someone who has always been by your side and supported you? Lu Meili (played by Mimi), who has always been surrounded by flowers, is a coward who never believes in love. After experiencing a major change in her life, she met Si Tianyi (played by Chen Xinwei), who was deeply hurt by love and could not let it go. Even though they were already scarred, they were still willing to accompany each other and give it a try for love. The two of them had a bumpy road, but no matter how many setbacks there were, we must be brave to love! "Then it's settled, the seasons rotate, we don't change, people come and go around us, we will always be us...

Probably, this is basically what the movies in theaters this week are like.

At the same time, you can also check out the Douban reputation list for the week. Let's take a look at what new movies have made the list this week.

【Weekly Word of Mouth Ranking】

1."poetry"

Many friends have been waiting for this film for a long time. It is a documentary directed by Ann Hui. The film was screened at the Hong Kong International Film Festival last year and received very good reviews.

Especially friends who like poetry and literature can pay more attention to it.

From Douban's plot synopsis:

Director Ann Hui majored in poetry when she studied literature in college. She felt that poetry could relieve her worries and difficulties, so she fulfilled her long-cherished wish and took good care of the poetic scenery of Hong Kong.

The film is mainly divided into three parts. The first part records the director Xu Anhua's personal visits to many Hong Kong poet friends, such as Huaiyuan, Yinjiang, Deng Alan, Ma Ruo, etc., and uses archive images and photos to remember the deceased Xixi and Ye Si. The focus of the whole film is on the second part, the free-spirited poet Huang Canran who has moved to Shenzhen, and the third part, the poet Liao Weitang who is busy lecturing and taking care of his family in Taiwan and actively involved in the world. Hong Kong poetry or Hong Kong poets are like grass on the edge, showing tenacious vitality while struggling under the oppression of life.

2.Everything at Dawn

This is a new film by Utsumi Miyake, and it is one that many friends have been looking forward to for a long time. The film was shown at the Beijing International Film Festival last year and received very good reviews.

Now more people can see it and the ratings remain the same, which is good.

This film is very good in terms of atmosphere, state description, and images.

You can also learn about the plot summary from Douban:

The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Maiko Seo. It tells the story of two colleagues who have diseases and troubles that are difficult for ordinary people to understand and help each other to overcome their respective traumas. Fujisawa Misa, who suffers from premenstrual syndrome, explodes in anger because of something done by Yamazoe Takatoshi, who has just transferred to the company. Misa, who is in self-loathing, learns that Takatoshi actually suffers from panic disorder. Gradually, in order to gain the understanding of other colleagues, the two of them become comrades who are neither friends nor lovers. Even if their symptoms have not improved, they will still think about whether they can help each other.

6."The End of the Old Lady"

June Squibb, who is 94 years old this year, made a new film last year that was shortlisted for the Sundance Film Festival and received good reviews.

Especially, it is amazing that she can still star in this movie at such an old age.

The film itself is also a story about the elderly, so it can be considered a film that cares for the elderly.

From Douban's plot synopsis:

Thelma Post (June Squibb) is a 93-year-old grandmother who is the victim of a phone scam. Thelma lost a lot of money, but...the scammers picked the wrong guy. With the help of a reluctant friend and his mobility scooter, Thelma sets out to find the scammers.

Based on the experiences of writer-director Josh Margolin’s own grandmother and June Squibb’s first starring role in a career spanning more than 70 years, the film is a celebration and playful subversion of the action genre, as well as a profound exploration of aging and autonomy.

7.Cabrini

This kind of movie is very traditional and good-looking. From the movie itself, in fact, none of the aspects are particularly outstanding and it is very old-fashioned, but because the plot itself is still attractive and traditional, it is also watchable, so it is worth recommending.

From Douban's plot synopsis:

The film is adapted from the true story of Francesca Cabrini (Cristiana Dell'Anna)'s struggle for equality and happiness. At the end of the 18th century, Italian nun Cabrini arrived in New York and found that the local foreign ethnic groups suffered from government persecution, church indifference and social prejudice. Cabrini therefore decided to devote herself to helping these disadvantaged ethnic groups and vowed to fill everyone with hope.

Cabrini not only confronted the local government and religious orders, but also had to deal with discrimination from the upper class. Facing all kinds of arduous challenges, she never gave up, and overcame difficulties again and again with courage and tenacity to change the world.

10.On Set

It is also a movie about movies. It was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival and received good reviews.

From Douban's plot synopsis:

Renowned French director Simon begins filming a movie about workers protesting a factory relocation, but nothing goes as planned. The producers want to rewrite the ending and threaten to cut the budget; the crew goes on strike; and his personal life is in shambles. Extra Joseph agrees to direct a behind-the-scenes documentary and begins following the crew to document the chaos...

That’s about it, probably.

Friends who are interested can still find one of the videos to watch, maybe there will be a surprise.
