    【A-】Very pleasant surprise! Although it is essentially the "police to catch the thief" that is now rotten on the street 50 years later, this is definitely the pinnacle of insurmountable police and gangster films. The avant-garde audio-visual technique is amazing even 50 years later. Sure enough, it is a textbook that has influenced film history since then. The stalking scene does not lose to "The Bourne Bourne 3". That car chase scene can be regarded as one of the best in history I have ever...

    The speed of movement! In the Hollywood era of the big studios, the car scenes were boring due to a large number of synthetic backgrounds. With the practice of "Gone with the Wind" and the French New Wave, the camera was completely alive in this film, obtaining a kind of excitable movement. Speed ​​- the "impossible point of view" of the front of the car is an extreme experience that can only belong to the movie. Apart from the wonderful parallel editing, zoom lens and art design, as a sketch...

    A relatively successful criminal business film that won the Oscar that year. Today, when sci-fi and drama movies are flooded, action and crime genres are becoming less and less popular and lacking in class. While watching this half-century-old classic, it suddenly dawned on me why I had an unspeakable love for commercial films in the 70s and 80s. Its "rough", rough dialogue style is not accepted by the contemporary audience, but it is real and simple, and it depicts the group portrait of the...

    The chase scene is not the highlight of the film. The chase begins with Griffith... The interesting part is the tracking scene. If the classic stalking scene in Hitchcock's Vertigo turned New York into its giant stage installation, this film is a true discovery of urban space. The smell of the dirty mess and the shadows of the lack of light are really left in the picture. The last scene in the ruined factory is reminiscent of Kurosawa Kiyoshi's "CURE". It's hard to say it's a police and...

    A little retro film noir style, and sure enough, a more classic exorcist was shot later. As far as my personal impression of this movie is, I didn't like the storyline and style. I didn't expect to beat "A Clockwork Orange" to win multiple Oscars, probably because the old library is...

    An epoch-making masterpiece, various pioneering designs have been used to this day, and have a profound impact on the later Hollywood police and bandit action movies. What’s interesting is that the photographer used a wheelchair instead of professional rail equipment in the filming, which is exactly the same as Paul Greengrass joked that the hand-held style of his work stemmed from the lack of money to buy a tripod back...

    Genre is a constantly evolving thing

    I have to sigh about the progress of the times. This movie that seemed to be a sensation back then is very old now. It can be seen that the directors of the chase scenes without lines in the middle put a lot of effort into it, but in the following 46 years, there were too many movies to put this...

The French Connection quotes

  • Buddy "Cloudy" Russo: Pay attention, we're gonna ask questions later!

  • Walt Simonson: Brooklyn is loaded with guys that own candy stores, two cars, and like to go to nightclubs!

    Buddy "Cloudy" Russo: Yeah, but you put this little candy store hustler together with Joel Weinstock and maybe we got a big score!

    Walt Simonson: Score, my ass!
