"Miller's Crossroads" is a noir hero movie dressed in a gangster coat. The beginning of the film borrows from the opening scene of the movie "The Godfather", the dialogue between the characters, the hand throwing ice into the cup, etc. It highlights Tom's position as the right-hand man of the gang boss, and reveals the complex relationships that run through the film. But the most impressive thing in the film is the hat Tom wore and the soundtrack interspersed with it. The hat is a very flexible prop in the film. It not only highlights the "coolness" of the gangster, but also uses the hat to express the character's situation. For example, the hat tumbling at the intersection of Miller expresses Tom's hesitation. Mentality. The film soundtrack created by Carter Bulville is an indispensable creator of powerful music space. Although the film is full of violent killing scenes, with the excellent soundtrack, it shows a touch of sadness. The layering of the film is very expressive. The forest, which is an important scene of the film, is also beautiful and charming under the photographer's lens

The common gun battle scenes in black films are handled simply or even ironically, and the Coen brothers focus on the psychological portrayal of the characters. Verna's character traits are dealt with very vaguely, and all rumors about her cannot be proven by actual actions. Equally obscure is the reason for Tom's switch to Caspar, framing Eddie can be understood as helping Leo and weakening Caspar, or it can be interpreted as the obstacle Tom must remove Eddie in order to gain a higher status in Caspar's gang. .

Johnny Caspar: It's gettin' so a businessman can't expect no return from a fixed fight. Now, if you can't trust a fix, what can you trust? For a good return, you gotta go bettin' on chance - and then you're back with anarchy, right back in the jungle.
