    My family Marlow is not so talkative!!! I simplified and edited a lot later, especially the last blow, I think Marlow in the book can't do it (´・ω・`) Well, and the image of this version is different from I don't think Marlowe is the same. The more I look at the male protagonist, the more familiar they are, I seem to have seen them somewhere, so I searched: Mardan!!!! Isn't this the father of ross and monica in Friends! !...

    Adapted from Chandler's novel of the same name, I prefer this version with a different ending, Arnold's set. ....

    8.7 was taken away by the scene of the man and the cat. A lip-smacking Marlowe who makes fun of the whole film noir. From the soundtrack to the photography, it's all my favorite tunes. It's intoxicating, with a touch of lingering...

    In fact, it is a story about a cat slave who was forced to enter the dog-loving world. After meeting the heroine for the first time, the cat disappeared. Compared with his younger generation, David Robert Mitchell, Altman focuses more on the weakening of events, the characters and narrative are completely liberated, and the audience is always pulled by trumped-up forces. "Enter" or not determines the understanding of it to the greatest...

    Brilliant cat-and-dog cinema, a remake of the "Third Man" story reinvented as a clash of two worlds. The traditional police detective is a dog figure: following the smell of creosote, looking for a tugboat or a barrel; Marlowe Instead, he has a cat, which disappears (we all know how it is), and he has to go with it into the world of hostile dogs - the latter of which is characterized by the ability to take the silly and funny to the greatest extent possible. Take it seriously. The witty Marlowe...

    My idea for telling the story like I did came from Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye. It's adapted from the book by Raymond Chandler, his best book in my opinion, and it's really about the last remaining detective with morals. The ones around him are all corrupt, falling prey to the darker side of things. Altman filmed the story in today's LA, but his protagonist wears clothes from 1942, drives a car from 1942, has the morals of a detective from 1942. He's surrounded by modern-day Hollywood,...

    PTA's adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's "Inherently Evil", like a nympho fan, Robert Altman's adaptation of Raymond Chandler's "The Long Goodbye", but was turned into by Philip Marlowe With another person, the two films have done a good job in breaking through the limitations of genres. I feel that the current Marlowe is quite likable, mixed with the social chaos of the 1970s, and still has the style of film noir in his...

    Complementing the second brush of Inherent Vice, the two have great similarities in character setting and overall style. PTA has stolen a lot from Ultraman. Similarly, the foundation of film noir has a drunken hippie tone. The tough-guy detective who had endured many problems in the past became a cynical and muttering explorer, stretching, panning, zooming, and the lightness of photography erased the last bit of toughness. The person who wakes up at 3am to feed the cat ends up losing the...

    Film Review Interview: Robert Oldman

    By Jan Dawson / Film Comment

    The translation was first published in "Iris"


    Translator's note: Robert Altman is an "outlier" in Hollywood, living under the industrial system of Hollywood, but his creations are closer to European art films. Ultraman has won the highest awards in Cannes, Berlin (West...

    Marlowe in the 70's

    It's really impossible to know what the considerations are in dragging Marlowe into the 1970s and assigning him a lot of female neighbors who like to do yoga and spiritual lessons half-naked.
    At the beginning, I interacted with the cat and dumped the cat food into the can that it likes to eat,...
