    The third film of the Coen Brothers has already made the black and humorous elements quite in place, and it has formed a Coen Brothers-style rhythm that I am very fascinated by. In the film, many queen actors of the Coen brothers play together, coupled with the unique violent movie style of the Coen brothers, it is absolutely fun to watch. There are many clues in the film, and the plot is also turbulent, but it is not...

    As a Coen Brothers movie, the character relationship and plot development are too complicated and deliberate. The title is called "Miller's Crossroads", but it implies "Tom's Crossroads". The play is full of choices Tom needs to make, as well as various coincidences that he can control and cannot control. It is a pity that these coincidences cannot highlight the abruptness of fate, but they are full of the artificial design of the...

    Detective? pulp Fiction? Two big smokers? The roots are here. Among similar themes, this movie is underestimated in the works of the Coen...

    Tommy in this film is definitely a unique Cohen-type classic character. His cynicism is also deeply rooted but tangled and introverted, and the surface is a desperately active approach to the world. Similarly, among the so-called Cohen-type determined female characters, I think Vina in this film is the most attractive....

    A good book with Cohen's superb tactics can not be too much to score six points. Killing the Three Kingdoms, the two masters, one stupid and the other pure, two loyalty and one traitor, have always been the fuse of the third party. In fact, Casper is a good man with principles. Failure is too simple and the gangsters are taboo; Dan is also a very loyal and smart person, who loses blindly and lacks communication with his master. The soundtrack, like the thunder of the earth, made me realize that...

    Don't see the corpse when you kill. . . . Later I learned that this was deliberately designed. . . The two brothers are awesome. . It's a screenwriter and a director. . The screenwriter of this film is very cool. . . It’s kind of like an American comic adapted into a movie. . . . In the two scripts, the men in control of the overall situation became halved because of the women. ....

    "Look in your heart!", "What heart?" The child and the puppy found the dead in the alley and the villa shootout, these two are...

    8.5 The complexity and hugeness of the script has reached the level of weirdness...Information-intensive is of course a common feature of excellent dramas, which makes the creators' pursuit of storytelling often implemented in "what to say". In Cohen's case, the blank and fracture space contributed by "don't say anything" are in the same position as the former; what he really wants to say (the uncertainty in the inevitability, the dislocation of fate...) is hidden in the "don't say" In that...

    # Scene# #门口# Closed doorways are filled in almost every moment from scene a to scene b. Knocking is used as a means of permission to enter a space at the beginning of the scene, and slamming the door means punishment. If the characters frequently close the door when they leave and arrive, it creates a sharp boundary in the aesthetic sense. Characters can use scene boundaries to keep others out. Breaking in is another way to unfold the scene. There are many ways to use the gate in this film,...

    Nothingness exists. The Coen brothers seem to have said a lot in this film, but they don’t seem to say anything; a large number of images give people a great amount of information; wonderful photography, wonderful and deep dialogue, black engraved in every frame Picture; As for this complicated story, you will unconsciously think of Kurosawa Akira's "Intentional Stick". Of course, the positioning of the protagonist is completely different. Reagan is not a hero, just a person who insists on...

    Deconstructing Miller's Crossing

    The central character of the film is Tom, and Tom's life center is the hat. What does the hat represent? My understanding is money and beauty (career and love if you want a more dramatic explanation). Some critics think that Tom finally gave up his career and love for chivalry, and I laughed when I...

    Can't write short reviews

    The Coen brothers made a gangster movie about loyal ministers in their own way. The intention and will of the protagonist Tom successfully suppressed all involuntary and accidental factors, and finally he achieved his will, but also lost love and fame. It can be said that he chose to be alone from...
