The beautiful camera movement, especially the scheduling in the small space, is very powerful. The opening pickpocketing scene can accurately guide the audience's sight in the crowded carriage and bring out the relationship between multiple characters. As a film noir in the context of McCarthyism, it inevitably brings too clear ideological color, which greatly weakens the complexity of the characters, and the concern for the bottom is also covered by a strong "patriotic brilliance". The only...

Atypical noir film, the beginning shows a sharp cut that is different from the conventional, inverting the infatuated man and the femme fatale, the images of the male and female protagonists are great, the most important thing is that this movie is black and full of elegance and love at the same time. Elegance, the grace of death, the elegance of the saxophone mixed in the...

From an ideological point of view, I had to give a low score, because I hated the McCarthyism of the year, and the director just endorsed...

A qualified combination of skill and various popular standards. A cold war background story that is easy for the general public to accept, several event arrangements related to the interaction of goals and difficulties, a charming sexy girl character, another romantic thief floating in the world, the patriotic attributes of the protagonist, no Shots and soundtracks that convey sexual innuendo to the audience every now and then. Despite the lack of memorable meaning, it can be regarded as a...

The wife is too sexy, or too erotic. Every time the hero and heroine meet, the teasing, aggression, kissing and dialogue have completely made me lose my resistance, which is more powerful than those scenes in the recognized "Lady Eve"! In the end, the happy ending won my heart. The plot is not complicated, and the theme is quite naive, but it is very enjoyable to...

Three and a half ~ The girl suddenly fell in love with the thief is really inexplicable, the two turned from a gangster to a patriot and rose to a high level ~ The grandmother and the murderer complained that life was hard, and it felt unnatural for the needs of the plot. The fight in the hotel and the subway station is very exciting, and it is not inferior to the current film. The scene of beating up the girl is very violent. In fact, I think this woman is really asking for it to deal with the...

The Impure "Film Noir" of "Black"

The characters in "film noir" each have their own moral bottom line, but their moral bottom line is different from that of ordinary people. Those who have no...

Moe Williams: Listen, Mister. When I come in here tonight, you seen an old clock runnin' down. I'm tired. I'm through. Happens to everybody sometime. It'll happen to you too, someday. With me it's a little bit of everything. Backaches and headaches. I can't sleep nights. It's so hard to get up in the morning, and get dressed and walk the streets. Climb the stairs. I go right on doin' it! Well, what am I gonna do, knock it? I have to go on makin' a livin'... so I can die. But even a fancy funeral ain't worth waitin' fer if I gotta do bus'ness with crumbs like you.
