The depiction of the urban environment is very flavorful, especially the whole outdoor scenes are night scenes, a kind of atmosphere and texture that desire breeds and spreads. There is another layer of expression of modern people living under the illusion of the media. In addition to the arbitrary distortion of facts by the media, the contrast between the photos on JJ's desk in the middle shot and the entity in the depths of the field, and the contrast between JJ's poster at the door of the...

The maggot-style life of early capitalism, and the later generations of the Internet age are carried forward. Black cities, black-and-white photography, and plenty of night scenes complement each other. What amazes me is that columnists have so much...

With reliable subtitles, the whole movie comes alive! JJ is really scary and charming in the dark. He is the epitome of power. He can be a columnist, a company boss, a high-ranking government official, a local gangster, his sister, his daughter, or the girl next door. It's not someone's hobby. , is formed layer by layer in a society, step by step, people lower or even give up their bottom line bit by bit. In the face of powerful individuals or groups, don't resist, don't make your own...

The emphasis on narrative rhythm and the dazzling feeling that is unique to the modern city can be shot so well in the black and white impression of the 1950s, which surprised me too much. The script is also quite good. Lancabot's characters are very interesting. The only pity is that the narrative and characters have not been better adjusted (I mean, of course, the psychological analysis is not enough), but it is definitely a black film. Good...

9.5/10. ①The well-known columnist male protagonist A and news agent male protagonist B provoke and break up the story of A's sister and her boyfriend (because A doesn't like her boyfriend). Although the two succeeded, in the end A's sister left A, and B was punished by law. The detailed introduction is well written. ②It has the characteristics of typical and high-level film noir, and uses a lot of low-key lighting (the specific role was written in "Languiyan Blood"), shadows, night scene...

The film is based on Ernst Lechmann's short story of the same name, and is written by Clifford Odets, a left-wing writer who is good at portraying social issues with grim style. On the basis of the novel, this film builds more complex scenarios and more dramatic character relationships, and projects the ugliest and darkest side of human nature through the show of the media industry's open and secret struggles. Famous Chinese photographer Huang Zongzhan used sharp chiaroscuro, unusual shooting...

4.0 doesn't belong in anything...

Absolutely classic lines. I really regret deleting it. The Chinese translation is attentive but fails to convey the spirit. Really free to revisit...

See the North Sea. The entanglement of this fourth power of the press and the conscience of society. Both actors are wonderful. Especially tony curtis! The cheap and handsome, completely defeated Alain Delon in Eclipse. Too bad I didn't like the ending. How can a silly sister/social conscience resist the control of the...

Such a big fight is not an impossible question, but a question of whether it is worth it or not. JJ obviously has a different value judgment than ordinary people. I miss Lao Huang's intoxicated and rotten street...
