    [Screening at China Film Archive] Although the story is not complicated, the film is excellent in every aspect. The editing is great, and the photography and sound effects are even better. Especially the long shot that rotates nine full circles, it's so cool! The suspense is mixed with elements of love and comedy, and it is a parody of B-level horror films. Really icing on the cake. nice! Four and a half...

    An imitation and tribute to Hitchcock. A visual representation of the sound. The legendary long shot of the circle is amazing, and the scheduling explodes. The people behind the scenes showed up too early, which weakened the sense of suspense (similar to the look and feel of the hot hand destroying flowers ↓). The final...

    This plot is too lively. . . The effect of expressionism is also quite inconsistent with the core of the...

    The script isn't great, but John Travolta's acting is great, beautiful shots and a nice soundtrack. I only sigh that Uncle Ta was handsome when he was...

    The beginning is the main perspective long shot, giallo+Slasher, and a little tribute to "Black Christmas", and then there is the split shot, and one of the dazzling skills is indispensable. Although it is a remake of "Zoom", the level of brilliance is not inferior. Although this style, like "Razor's Edge", is still imitating some of the old ways of Xifa and giallo, it is still my...

    I can't stand the old soundtrack, the old colors, the occasional stupid western plot, the plot without any suspense, or something, but I'm a movie watcher, not a movie student. I'm really grateful for the progress of the film...

    I didn't expect to be made to cry by a suspense thriller, this is an absolutely underrated masterpiece. The elements of sound, the use of camera and the choreography of the story are all exciting. Everyone's talking about zooming in, but I think it's more like dialogue and Chinatown combined. I wandered between 4.5 and 5 for a long time, and finally decided to give 4.5 stars because the characters were not penetrated enough (compared to the later Dawn of Love Owl, which was too...

    It's a complete remake of "Blow Up," but it doesn't feature anything. Brian DePalma's old problem has been committed again. The story has too many flaws and too much foreshadowing. He made such an exciting film that was not exciting at...

    Political conspiracy + Xiezhige thriller + serial killer, many elements are independent and govern together, no matter the narrative technique, photography, and editing, they have shocked four people in the past, Palma's sturdy and fat Zun's youth, "Blow Out" " is definitely a classic that has been ignored, especially the suppressed emotions at the end can't be vented, the bones are stuck in the throat, and it's hard to let...

    The suspenseful commercial version of "Zoom in" is anticlimactic, mere formality, the script is not refined enough, the rhythm is too poor, and the camera is used very well, but it imitates Hitchcock. The sound engineer, played by John Travolta, mocks the sound of the bathroom murder for being fake, but the heroine's voice makes her cry at the end, questioning the sound of the film. A lot of moving shots, subjective shots of the murder process, close-ups of details, 9 consecutive 360° shots,...
