    The film's alias must be "Proletarian Punishment." The dialogue and characterization are still good, but the lens language is not very impressive. The awakening and resistance of personal consciousness, but the concept that unions are equal to gangs is still too simple. Brando’s performance in Hollywood is really a school of its...

    If you don't like Ilya Kazan, do you dare to have a stronger ideology? The appearance of the female protagonist is not the standard of the golden age aesthetics at all, but I like it very much; in the end, Li Kebu’s one-handed threatening action instantly crossed to the twelve angry men...

    The collective unconsciousness, the awakening and resistance of the oppressed class; the advancement of the story and the application of the soundtrack are excellent; the group performance is extremely...

    The lighting effects of photography are so awesome. After "The Third Man", I think the black-and-white film is very beautiful. Early bird is very dangerous, the best strategy is to develop the mass base in private, and the development of the mass base can use kind public figures or sad girls and other figures to unite the public. The conflict between beliefs and interests, individual and collective conflicts. To avoid responsibility is to pretend to be exactly like...

    Realistic style, location shooting, Marlon Brando method school template, blacklist incident, whistleblower defense. After Arthur Miller withdrew, Schuberg's new script showed strong criticism of New York Harbor and Catholic forces, and Kazan integrated the psychographic legacy of the 1930s into the depth of humanity in dramas on social issues. Some scholars believe that the film has traces of McCarthyism and unconscious...

    Marlon Brando’s method of assigning acting skills, from a boy to a man, I surprisingly think of Casey Affleck in [Death of the Sharpshooter]....

    The story is simple and tattered. Watching the show intentionally zooming in on various details and seemingly on the...

    Brando's performance name goes down in history, and the performances of the supporting actors are also full of tension. When I first watched the film, I realized that Bernstein made the soundtrack. How do you look at film noir, how...

    The film’s compact plot and rhythm are almost unnecessary, and the brilliant soundtrack makes the heart trembling. The character’s inner tragedy and awakening are like a sharp arrow penetrating the screen, piercing the audience’s heart and tear ducts, and perhaps a cigarette is needed. Calm down complex emotions that you can't control. In the solemn black and white scenes, this movie made the young Marlon Brando exude a fascinating charm, which he always...
