五月值得一看的3部海外新片推荐

This May, we can watch a lot of exciting movies. Next, I will tell you some information about 3 movies.

Hypnotic

Ben Affleck stars as a police detective (警探) in this movie. He is sad because of the disappearance of his daughter. He is finding out the truth about some bank robberies when a mystery woman (Alice Braga) tells him about “hypnotics”: people who have the power to make others believe and do anything they want by using a sentence.

Released (上映) on 11 May in Australia, 12 May in the US & 26 May in the UK

The Little Mermaid

This one is very special. Why? Because a black actress, Halle Bailey, is playing the main character, who was white in the 1989 cartoon. The film’s director, Rob Marshall (Chicago, Mary Poppins Returns) said she and Prince Eric, played by Jonah Hauer-King, “really teach the world about prejudice (偏见) and about breaking down walls between these two worlds.”

On general release from 24 May

The Eight Mountains

All of the mountains in The Eight Mountains are clean and beautiful. Some of them are in the Himalayas, but most are in the Italian Alps. There Pietro (Luca Marinelli), a city boy from Turin, becomes friends with Bruno (Alessandro Borghi), the only child left in a village. The movie records their friendship.
