Read Xiong's "Audio-visual" and come back to make up this one. The fog of Dublin, the light of expressionism, "The Third Man" + "M", John Ford's first best director, Sure enough, Steiner's soundtrack is a big plus, and the music theme is particularly...

The presence of the sets and sound effects is strong, and the music has a shadow of the silent film era. Tragedy of character, watching a person go to inevitable destruction, but also has a full arc. The atmosphere of the trial passage is reminiscent of...

Very pleasantly surprised, watching John Ford's second film, the first one is "The Missing Patrol", the scenes are very uniform, one is the endless desert, the other is the fog that never dissipates.

Before watching this movie I knew someone "pointed out" Ford as an IRA sympathizer and supporter (someone that Ford hated), so I didn't know how to deal with this story. But this effect is only shot in the studio, and only the awesome can describe the...

Katie Madden: Ah, Gypo, what's the use? I'm hungry, and I can't pay my room rent. Have you the price of a flop on you?
Gypo Nolan: No.
Katie Madden: What's the use? Ah. don't look at me like that, Gypo! You're all I got! You're the only one. You know that. But what chance do we have to escape? Money! Some people have all the luck!
[Indicating the ad in the travel agency window]
Katie Madden: Look at that thing handing us the ha-ha! Ten pounds to America! Twenty pounds and the world is ours?
Gypo Nolan: What are you saying that for?

Gypo Nolan: And now the British think I'm with the Irish, and the Irish think I'm with the British. The long and short of it is I'm walkin' around without a dog to lick my trousers!
