This one is much stronger than Morocco! The lens language experiment in Morocco has basically matured. Standing behind it is again expressionism. And the most powerful is, of course, Sternberg's deification of Marlene Dudley. What is also unexpected is that this piece is so politically correct that the Chinese (contemporary) author's depersonalization of women is exposed by comparing Anna May Huang's prostitute role with Jinling's 13 o'clock. The story of the ball of suet is still beyond the...

Sternberg's level is very high, in all aspects. The photography/lighting is excellent, how to describe it: night like day, day like night. The lighting was high, but soft, which was a strange feeling; he "controlled" the function and use of the...

Dietrich Anna May is extremely beautiful, and her photography is often brilliant, but the rest is lackluster. The blame is that China is only used as an exotic prop, and the drama of the story is really not strong...

[China in the Eyes of Outsiders] In the early 30s, the photography style of the 20s was maintained. The film used a lot of soft gray tones and moved the mirror slowly to create a charming image of Dietrich. The scene of the train leaving the station is quite exciting, and the relative delay in the introduction of some plots is inevitably boring. ｜The editing method of multiple exposures was continued in Venus in the same year, and was learned by Yuan Muzhi....

The story of a woman in the dust, desperate to recall her old love, is an idol drama that is out of the bone of a romance novel. It's awkward to watch, but you can't ask too much from the old movies of the 1930s, right? And even after time, Dietrich's smile will still make you...

The perspective is still the white standard of the contemporary era, and the Chinese are basically villains, but they are not dirty; the mixed-race military officer even expressed ashamed of his white blood; the European director still has something. Anna May Wong is very aura and can indeed be regarded as a Chinese actor restricted by the times. Marlene Dietrich is the only foreigner to say "Shanghai" correctly instead of "Shane Hi", possibly because she is German rather than...
