This is a response and parody of modern European literature to American hard-boiled detective/film noir. The isolationism of postwar urban men in the United States led to the fear of European gay intellectuals that heterosexual life castrated their creativity. Although the eroticism of the instinctual director spills over to women and is inaccurate, this long-awaited film is still a lingering...

Temperament like a combination of Almodovar and Carpenter. The mystical rendering is very good, even when it comes to crime, there is a strong sense of difference, so many symbols, women's keys, bloody paintings, falling seagulls, cut-off younger brothers, endless images of death, the result is simple death fourth a man. At least there must be religious symbols like the Goddess of Sighs! Sacrifice a man to summon the evil god, what is the purpose! The same weakness as the male lead, and the...

Decathlon Paul Verhoeven made a leady suspense film. In the film, reality and fantasy are intertwined and parallel, and the repeated similarity of various feelings and the parallelism of various fates proves the regularity and universality of events and their deeper and mysterious meanings. The implication that can be felt in literary works is explained in the film by a parallel second...

Wow, the missionary film was made like this! Verhoeven was deeply influenced by Argento in the early...

A story that is completely pretending to be a ghost can last for 100 minutes, but it is not easy. Delusional writer or femme fatale. Although there is a hidden mystery like Don't Look Now, the decoration is more frivolous in terms of genre elements (film noir, vampires?), gender roles, religion (final cross and spider melting), etc....

This is so fucking wonderful, so talented, Verhoeven, there are innumerable subtle details in the audio-visual, and later filming [Instinct] is also logical, almost the same femme fatale setting and suspense creation; "Being Catholic means having imagination . Scientific discoveries are the product of imagination. So all science is...

If this woman is really Black Widow, it should look like this in the title, then the director's description of Black Widow is really lacking in strength, and more people think that there is something wrong with the writer's brain, delusional psychosis? Maybe this film is just a writer's fantasy about Black Widow? In addition, the relationship between religion and science discussed in the film is quite interesting, and this part of the content adds a lot to him. ....

.5 Hitchcockian. Power comes from wandering without cause. Simpleness is abstracted, and it does not have the mighty power of later...

Lenovo chain: steel sling - gallows - ring formed by apple skin - halo of the Holy Son; the male protagonist said there might be another war twice, does he mean the final judgment of Jesus' second coming? In the story, mary can only predict and shelter, Can't fight and punish, and yes, how can anything under the Christian system fight the Sphinx; wash your hair like an inquisition, hair dryers are like electric drills, haircuts - bible story - castration anxiety, scissors = instinct ice...

Shouldn't Verhoeven be a pervert? The movie is a collection of all sorts of outbursts of sexual fantasies, to the point of hallucinations. Kind of like a later instinctive plot plus a Hitchcock style. The male protagonist is a femme fatale, and he is obsessed with little fresh meat. His sexuality is like a needle in the sea. Forget it, his eroticism is still so straightforward, and some religious elements are added....
