    In this paper, Des's expression of mood uses a very externalized method, combining many details to express emotions such as impulsiveness, confusion and dizziness. Fatalism and Hitchcock, Red Green Yellow...

    The script is too thin, this Tom Ripley is so boring, it's better to spend all the pen and ink on Jonathan. Beautiful photography...

    The framer, the moment when he puts the frame on his head, is too metaphorical. Movies always make us jump into other people's lives and briefly escape for two hours while being...

    #Movie is not a tool for you to make money in the United States# On the surface, it is a middle-aged German sick and poor father who was framed by an American philistine man. On the inside, American capital is only trying to make money and hurt movies and other arts. It can be seen that the painting/animation that pays tribute to the train entering the station representing the birth of the movie In the son's room, in the turntable game played by the son and his friends using the principle of...

    There are a lot of retreating overhead shots, and Wenders only has a little attraction when combined with the...

    A casual contemptuous word offended this American friend. Jonathan, a picture framer who specializes in art, has embarked on this chaotic and thrilling end. The last part of his life is worth a visit. For his wife and children, there is a hint of sadness that he is about to die. The role of Cowboy Tom is more twisted, somewhat literary and neurotic. In fact, the friendship between them is more like Tom's wishful thinking, a deal or a helpless life-and-death relationship, but Tom still has a...

    If Melville handled it, he would not have made the story of the two men so straightforward and gentle, and a Melville-esque character would obviously not make several greasy, sticky action scenes, let alone In order to forcibly extract the ambiguity of "relationship" from a story of "exploitation", Wenders also added an overly bloated and functional family drama. Cancer and interest have become proof of Brapley's sympathetic drama. Emptiness and grief are no longer Wenders-esque inner order...

    Wenders actually brought in several great directors to make guest appearances. At that time, the United States was full of mystery and yearning for Germans, Coca-Cola and Marlboro, and of course noir movie plots such as gang assassination. The emotional portrayal also continues "King of the Highway". They understand each other's despair and helplessness, the desire for change that flows in the dark billiard room and dark workroom, so it's a big...

    Terminally ill craftsman hired to be a killer story so fiction cinematography blasts Wenders' iconic push in and nihilistic color fix terrific Hopper's lines are so cocky: Listen. I know rock musicians. I know lawyers . I know art dealers, pimps, politicians. But murder? I don't want to be involved....
