"The Godson" combines the elements of American gangster movies in the 1940s with the French subculture of the 1960s, and adds the spirit of Japanese Bushido, contrary to the past style of director Jean-Pierre Grumbach, creating a precedent for violent aesthetics and killer aesthetics. , Has also become an important work in his creative career. Melville portrays a world where there is no trust at all and where murderous intent is everywhere, and he gives Alain Delon's character a kind of "existentialism" color. The film uses a very stylized minimalist approach. The scenes, lighting, performances, dialogues, etc. are very streamlined. The overall tone is also a glimmering ice blue. From the time of filming, it reflects The loneliness and suspicion prevailing in French society at that time. After the film was released, it was almost equated with violent aesthetics. Whether it was the film’s narrative technique, image style, classic segments, or even Alain Delon’s outfits, it became the object of tribute and imitation of later films and filmmakers. From Hollywood to Hong Kong, from Wu Yusen to Quentin Tarantino, as long as there is a killer, you can see the film's figure, as long as there is a noir film, you can see the film's bridge segment

The opening long shot set the cold tone. DeLonghi has become a classic killer in film history with a trench coat and a top hat. Melville's control is so powerful that it is terrible, and he often photographed simple scenes for three days. Charm. How to exercise the camera? How to choose lighting? This kind of technical indiscretion allows a straightforward story to enter the category of palace-level movies

A movie full of details and cool can't help but love it, it's so addicting. But don't lose the windbreaker after committing the crime, this "vest" and so many people of this size, only the bartender can identify the murderer, these plots cannot be explained. Other details such as some garbage bags with bandages thrown around and picked up by the police are also dispensable, but it may be that the director level is far higher than me, and I think more, after all, it is still Melville.

Superintendant: I don't like forcing the pace to extract confessions or get information. I'm very liberal, a great believer in the liberty of the individual... in people's right to live as they choose. Provided that the way of life they choose harms no one else... and is contrary to neither law and order nor public decency.
