8.6 The failure of "Upside Down Ace" seems to be a matter of course. It exposes and satirizes the media industry, slaps the media in the face and is slapped in the face by the media, so it has been criticized and criticized; and it does everything possible to portray a group of stupid people at the mercy of the media. , the disaster of others became a carnival for the audience, so the box office failed, and Billy Wilder never made a noir film again, but after watching it, no one can forget the...

The loss of one person was quickly developed as a tourist value under the media planning, and evolved into a nationwide entertainment event. Driven by interests, the characters of all parties entered the scene one after another, entered the role, and formed a conspiracy relationship. In the modern spectacle society criticized by Susan Sontag, the blood, tears and pain of others, and even the privacy of life, have become the objects of public entertainment, and are mass-produced and consumed....

Although it is exaggerated, it is full of deep thinking about the issue of journalism...

The mercenary news mechanism turned a simple rescue into a spectacle, "murdered" a man and pitted the American dream against the American spirit. Billy Wilder turns a film with a near-film noir beginning to Capra-esque questioning, and the Playground sequence even reminds me of...

1. The weakness of human nature; 2. The responsibilities and desires of news and reporters; 3. The screenwriter is excellent; 4. The trapped person, you died at the right time; In the end, it will not be able to be put into action, and the goodness of human nature will eventually be...

It's hard to imagine that this is a movie from 60 years ago, and what happened in the film is still happening now. This is what makes the plot attractive. It's hard to say whether this immutability stems from society or the essence of human nature. The media is the eye that examines the world. What kind of society is there, what kind of media is produced and what kind of human nature it sees. Billy Wilder's classic noir film, written and directed by himself, has a wonderful ending, with...

"The last minute was terrific. The camera shot from the height of a normal man, lowered to the height of the table and chairs, and then lowered to the height of the floor, and then the male protagonist fell like a mountain in front of the camera. It is definitely the most awesome shot in film history."...

This is one of the most outrageous Wilders I've seen so far. It's a film noir, let alone nonfiction. Five years, ten years, fifty years, the relationship between media public knowledge and society has never changed. They boast, inflate, and bury themselves. Have you ever witnessed a moral collapse? That should be what Kirk Douglas looked like when he suddenly fell to the...

Billy Wilder has always been ambiguous about his protagonist's position, but this time it was unusually clear. Maybe Douglas is too "righteous"? At first, I hoped that they could let the satire end in a farce, but this ending with such a positive outlook was so natural and unpretentious. This is much stronger than the later HE of The...

Kirk Douglas's role as the awakened prodigal complements each other perfectly, and such a role is also more lovable; these real tragedies happen every day in reality, but unfortunately not a fallen reporter...
