    The last shot is shocking. The male lead reminds me of Capote, but luckily there is at least one person in the farce who really cares about the poor...

    8/10. What idiot would say this is a comedy. . . I like to watch the twists and turns of the film noir, the characters with morally depraved characters, and the sharp criticism. The above points are all well done, but they are not interesting enough for Wilder's work. The structure and audio-visual There is nothing outstanding, especially the first half is quite boring, such a high rating is completely overrated. ....

    The hero is smug and cheeky, so the first half is particularly good-looking (use the typewriter to move the pole to light a cigarette! A 9-point man is not moved by a 6-point woman, eh). The impeccable language of the film is the character arc... the supporting roles are also...

    The world is full of interests, and they put on the cloak of morality only to pursue people's desire to spy. The interior of the cave was photographed three times, and only reporters, doctors, and priests saw the victims—the conscience of the secular, scientific, and religious. Public opinion can continue without the life and death of the characters, and whether the poor people live or die is only entangled with the reporter's personal conscience. Quite an open scene, the story develops very...

    9/10 Billy Wilder, the master of prophecy 65 years ago, who seemed absurd at the time is now insane. The dawn of human nature is the director's beautiful hope, but the expansion of interests and desires makes reality more magical (even the victims in the film may be fictional today), and the real victims have become blind followers. Even more terrifying is the momentum that fuels the...

    Very satirical movie. Billy Wilder wrote each main character as very selfish. They are a group of creatures who have no feelings for profit. A reporter's report caused so many things, which suddenly led to tourism, journalism, etc. Wait, the sense of design is very strong, including the role of the passerby who sells insurance for a long time, and it feels like the film was carefully designed by the director to criticize these reporters (or public opinion). Billy Wilder's movie ends It's always...

    People love bad news, because good news is no news. Another day when you want to print the script, draw wavy lines, and recite the...

    As ruthless and tough, Charles was as vivid and terrifying. He is eloquent, manipulating people's hearts, eating people without spitting out bones. The film uses him to play a psychological game with people inside and outside the play. They stood on the boat and the others could only call for help in the water. The most wonderful thing about the movie is that Charles also follows this black farce, showing his distorted inner shadow, his weakness and despair. His violence against Rowling is like...

    Good news equals no news, bad news equals good news, a black fable about journalism ethics, which still wakes up future generations after 70 years, and is almost perfect in every...

    The planned news, which sharply satirizes the professional ethics of media people and the popular taste of entertainment to death, is still not outdated even...

Ace in the Hole quotes

  • Charles Tatum: It's a good story today. Tomorrow, they'll wrap a fish in it.

  • Charles Tatum: Mr. Boot, I was passing through Albuquerque; had breakfast here. I read your paper and thought you might be interested in my reaction.

    Jacob Q. Boot: Indeed I am.

    Charles Tatum: Well, to be honest, it made me throw up. I don't mean to tell you I was expecting the New York Times, but even for Albuquerque, this is pretty Albuquerque.

    Jacob Q. Boot: Alright, here's your nickel back.
