The works of the 1940s seem to have nothing new in structure now, but they are complete and not convoluted. The plots are classic or old-fashioned, but they are still beautiful. Yan Kong is not interested in the first two stories, so it is a little boring, but the actors in the mirror are very good. Well, the golf ghost is very funny~ The puppet master is michael redgrave, what can I say~ I want two puppet...

A few short stories, some are very interesting, some are okay, but it was not until the end that the classic of this film was really shown~ I was shocked! It will be used in various future...

Pioneer of infinite loop, the main storyline consists of five independent short stories (103-minute version), similar to the look and feel of the old American drama "Yin and Yang Demon Realm". ps: The story of golf is a bit redundant and destroys the rhythm of the film. The last series of plots does not seem to see the elements of this story. Should the other length version be deleted? It feels more fluid this...

Schizophrenia, deadly dolls, evil spirits in the mirror, reincarnation of fate, secret rooms in another world, and even horror comedies, it is hard to imagine how many films the subject matter and narrative structure have influenced later generations. The escape scene of the protagonist at the end can be reminiscent of "Puppet Life", "Inception", "Red Pepper" and "Weima's House". I like the story of the funny golf brothers in...

On September 4, 1945, just two days after the end of World War II, this film containing the following elements was released: circular narrative, segmented horror, comedy horror, doll horror, multiple narrators, continuous clues, dreams Dreams, (narrative) tricks, split personality, sense of sight... The fifth puppet master is a reasoning story with multiple answers that can only be written with the pen of today's people, reminiscent of the theme of the film and the era of creation,...

A masterpiece forgotten by film history. A circular narrative like falling into hell, a nightmare that will never wake up. The setting of Jingfen predates "Psycho", and has been paid tribute to and imitated by countless directors in later generations ("Terror Cruise", "Deadly ID", "Death Illusion", etc.). Since it was taken in 1945, I give it 10...

The pioneering work of a segmented suspense thriller, a main story strung together five unrelated thriller stories, and the ring structure is really eye-opening. Beginning and ending, ending and beginning. British-style strange talk around the stove, the five stories have their own emphasis and style, and they are connected end to end. It is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, which makes the film full of mystery. The segmented loop structure reminds me of a horror cruise ship,...

A few clumps of cotton, which may not seem very exciting now, hold up an amazing skeleton, but both the whole (segment, loop, nightmare) and the core elements of each story have been borrowed by countless people!...

Organic fusion of ring structure and type elements
The film is based on the fact that the protagonist Craig visits a country house and has a sense of deja vu in the house, so that the guests in the house narrate their own experiences to form a film that is both independent and not lacking in commonality. I don't know if it is the first film work...

id ego and superego
After watching "Night of the Dead", I found out that it is the originator of the suspense and thriller movies I have watched over the years. A main story is strung with five short stories, and the five short stories can be made into a good-looking suspense thriller movie if they are taken out...

Dr. van Straaten: Mr. Craig, can you describe what happens in your dream?
Walter Craig: Well, not in detail. But it always starts exactly the same as when I arrived, just now. I turn off the main road into the lane. At the bend in the lane, the house comes into view, and I stop as I recognize it. Then I drive on again. And Foley meets me at the front door. I recognize him, too. And then, while I'm taking off my coat, I have the most extraordinary feeling. I nearly turn and run for it, because I know I'm going to come face-to-face with the six...
Sally O'Hara: Well, you've only come face-to-face with five of us so far, not counting Eliot.
Walter Craig: That's right, five of you. There is a sixth person who comes in later.
Dr. van Straaten: Can you describe this late arrival?
Walter Craig: It's an attractive girl with dark hair.
Dr. van Straaten: [laughing] Is that all you can tell us about her?
Walter Craig: She comes in quite unexpectedly and says something about not having any money.
Eliot Foley: A penniless brunette, eh?
Sally O'Hara: How romantic! Do you fall madly in love with her, Mr. Craig?

Hugh Grainger: Let's get this straight, Doctor. You won't for a moment admit the possibility of foreseeing the future?
Dr. van Straaten: Not for a moment.
Hugh Grainger: Well, you'd say I'm a pretty ordinary, down-to-the-earth sort of person, wouldn't you?
Dr. van Straaten: I refuse to commit myself. Why?
Hugh Grainger: Well, when it comes to foreseeing the future, something once happened to me that knocks your theories into a cocked hat. Something I'll not forget to my dying day. As a matter of fact, it very nearly was my dying day.
