    The noir visual style is prominent, and Johnny witnesses a flesh-and-blood group image. Those who approach Johnny with good intentions and implicit purpose, watch their tension-filled verticals and unanimous wishes come to nothing, while Johnny walks with single-mindedness like a saint. Why are puppies always a bad...

    The translation is a bit weird. . What do you want to express? I think everyone is selfish and has their own reasons for action. All kinds of people who seem to be powerful, but are actually very weak, all want to get something, absurd Ukiyo-e, unpredictable fate and full of reincarnation, sad and helpless lingering and greedy. The heavy rain and snow in the film, the dark light, the long night is like a long life, cold and helpless, sad and...

    The Chinese title directly took me in the wrong direction. At first I thought it was a fugitive suspense drama with deep brotherhood, but the more I watched it, the more wrong it became. Compared with the story director, the audio-visual photography is really strong. The photography of Yu Xue Ye is very black and white, cold and biting, and the use of the lens of the tavern scene is full of...

    Unexpectedly good looking. A story about the escape route, framed primarily by the various reactions of people related and unrelated to Johnny. The black humor reflects the characters, fates, feelings and good and evil of various people at that time. One round character after another is shown, which is real and...

    The setting of the female characters (I mean the heroine of course) makes the dirge become a dirge. The back light shines back in the beer froth, the microcosm of the sloping and neat...

    Another masterpiece of film noir at that time, a story about escape, but it was shot in a cool world. In the black and white light and shadow, there is an incomparable charm that color films can't match... "Tiger's Heart" (1947) "Fallen Idol" ( 1948) "The Third Man" (1949), Reed's three masterpieces for three consecutive...
