    9.1 has a very strong sense of smell of genre films, and also has internal appeal. The precise scheduling of the two assassination scenes seems to be watching DePalma, but at the same time, it belongs to Wenders completely, and the road film-style roaming drives the energy. It works, the ripples of emotion grow in the close-ups, and everything is unspoken. It's so interesting to change the text of a crime novel to this. Dennis Hopper carries a charming sense of mystery throughout, and Nicholas...

Set in the image of Tom Jonathan, the shrewd art dealer and the traditional framer, to refer to the United States and Europe, and between them is far from a simple contrast, but also a wonderful friendship between men (“Sexuality”). ” overtones).

    Wenders' version of Ripley is the most textured and human to me....Travel/exile, identity, Americanization, ambiguous masculinity, all the motifs he's interested in are packed into America "Friends" is gone, from now on practice the common sense without losing yourself, well done,...
