    Alain Delon doesn't have a single line that is superfluous, because he has so few lines. There's no better adjective in this world to describe this movie and Alain Delon than cool. Even stealing cars, stealing hearts, stealing women is so cool, and it's even cooler when you're caught. The movie came to an abrupt end with the killing of Alain Delon, and everything was just right. A lone wolf can never be caught unless he himself is caught in a...

    I thought this piece was stupid, I took out a bunch of keys and slowly tried driving the car, trying to open the door... I installed a bug, the big one was replaced by a small one, but the clothes were so conspicuous... me too I think the killer is stupid. Every district in a metropolis of ten million people randomly grabs 20 indicators who are wearing trench coats and top hats. How can they catch you...I also asked my sister why you didn't point me out, shit, it's not because of you, Alan De...

    After watching [Lone Killer] after many years, I suddenly understand why I don't like [The Party at South Station]. The former is extremely restrained and does not overplay the drama and the emotions of the characters, while the latter is the exact opposite, striving to construct and describe. The actions of the characters we see in [Lonely Killer] are very dry. During the viewing process, we cannot clearly judge the purpose of the characters at the first time, and the potential hidden suspense...

    The opening long shot set the cold tone. DeLonghi has become a classic killer in film history with a trench coat and a top hat. Melville's control is so powerful that it is terrible, and he often photographed simple scenes for three days. Charm. How to exercise the camera? How to choose lighting? This kind of technical indiscretion allows a straightforward story to enter the category of palace-level...

    I think Melville’s greatest strength has always been his calmness in his movies. He has never seen those emotional and "direct expressions" in his movies, as well as his rich lens language, using very few lines or even no words. It is necessary for the lines to express all the plots, characters, emotions, and information in place using only pictures. In later generations of the same type of film, I have only seen such a powerful director's control in Cohen's Old...

    91/100, classic, elegant, cold, gloomy, handsome. Minimalist narrative, but still has exquisite plot settings, rather textured expressionist lighting, and the long-drive zoom lens is too explosive, and the montage of the combination of virtual and real. And the so handsome Alan Delong's windbreaker show, so it is no longer a question of why women show her favor. The rhythm is still a little slow, but the ending is really long, and the lone killer is always...

    [A-] How the sense of form replaces the content, or how the sense of form becomes the content, "Lone Killer" gives the most classic answer. The first mirror has fully revealed the visual motif of the film: coldness. With the blessing of minimalism, this cold atmosphere seems to be stagnant in the image. Light is like magic, giving a unique texture to the space. But the colder the picture and the stiffer the face, the more surging the emotions it hides. Until the end, the overflow of emotions is...

    C / I liked it at the beginning, but the most direct impression from looking at Cheng Cheng is: Can't feel the existence of characters? On the one hand, the selection of characters has almost no perceptual situational establishment, mostly relying on straightforward text splicing. Therefore, most characters only have strong psychological momentum at certain specific moments and lack continuity. On the other hand, there are some thick lines in the portrayal of the characters' actions, too many...

    5.0 The shots, music and hints are beautiful. The feathers of the bird, the eyes of his girlfriend, and the turn of events are all dramatic. From the beginning until the first line of dialogue, there is not a second that makes people feel boring. Many films have borrowed from this one. It could be done like this in 1967, too...

    The cool Bushido quote of "The Lonely Warrior and the Jungle Tiger" is actually made up by the director himself; the sound and rhythm of the caged bird in the protagonist's existential bedroom is like Dongying's startled deer water bamboo; if it weren't equipped with a very catching killer at the back As for the story of assassination and the wits of the police and bandits, Melville estimated that he would not dare to let Alain Delon lie down for two and a half minutes when he came up; the...
