    Sister=Daughter This terrible was later used in Kislovsky's [Ten Commandments], but it was not as tangled as this one. The film has a casual classic black tone, although the performance is now very exaggerated, but the play is really...

    Alas, awesome. Hollywood really has some unsurpassed classics. Old Nicholson seems to be a diehard...

    The horror cycle of Chinatown. Before the story, Jack lost his lover once in Alameda Street. At the end of the story, he lost again; sister=daughter’s dark setting; the dialogue scene at 110 minutes was written too much Well, after reading Polanski’s third draft script, from the inside to the outside, the inner drama of the characters is shown in the script without any detail, and only a few dialogues on the screen retell the whole...

    [2] Most of the film is under the sun, but the dark night at the end of the film covers everything; the audience is no longer a bystander, but follows the protagonist into a pile of evidence, making inferences, a bit of a hard-line detective style. The film is extremely interactive and...

    By coincidence, I saw two masterpieces in 1974 in a row. As the title of Chinatown, it has not become a clue to the movie, and its scenes only appeared at the end of life and burst into climax. The textbook script of the long admiration of the name did not bring much shock. It was nothing more than an orderly questioning. It was the so-called Chinese essence: Sacrificing the individual to make the greater self, and not tolerating American heroes, was thoroughly analyzed. Good film, but not...

    The United States at the beginning of the twentieth century is really like China today. It monopolized water and competed for resources, which led to various conspiracy suspense. The plot of father and daughter was a bit redundant and too fancy, but everything else was very...

    A group of people represented by McGee admired the script very much, and maybe they can afford such praise, but the problem is that the genre's own genre charm has a lot of...

    The perfect noir film in my mind should be so. The outstanding OST brings melancholy temperament, as well as unpredictable women, men who are both evil and righteous, the ending of a black one, justice is a symbol of stupidity. The details of this film are great, especially the car horn. She touched her head lightly in a panic, and my heart...

    When Nicholson followed the heroine and saw what was happening in the house through the window, he walked from one window to the other. This was a fundamental change from the hero in "Rear Window", the latter being The metaphor of the cinema, and the former is a representation of viewing in the art gallery! Here, the luminous body seen through the window is essentially a...

    Polanski is a good driver. He drives steadily and can deliver passengers to their destinations in time. Passengers can also enjoy the scenery along the way. Unlike the current drivers who slam on the gas pedal, they just want to quickly send the passengers to the destination, and then collect the money to take the next order. They don't care whether the passengers are sick or...
