    Maybe the first Film Noir with sci-fi elements? The setting is very advanced, the filming makes people drowsy, or it is a problem of too strong...

    Thoughtful videos. But isn't the story itself brainwashing the audience? The triggering factor is just a code word and a poker card. It is too easy to use this as a switch. The espionage system at that time was not so low-level, right? It was as if none of those 500 subordinates existed, not even...

    During the Cold War, a product of McCarthyism, the films alluding to this period are much more "black and white" than the 2004 remake of the same...

    The first half is procrastinating, and the second half is gradually reaching a climax. The answer to the mystery is obvious. The highlight lies in the depiction of several...

    A good commercial film with the background of the Cold War stalemate, mind manipulation, and relatively novel settings, it is not outdated after 60 years, except that it is a little verbose. After reading the new version of the introduction, I thought it was a political preaching type, but I was not very interested, and I gradually entered Hong Kong. The male pig is stern and reserved, and looks quite like Jude Law; the ferocious-hearted politician's mother wants power over family, and has...

    The film makes a simple abstraction of the political environment, which makes the whole film cast a mysterious and absurd atmosphere. It is this atmosphere that makes one...

    Although ideology comes first, it is a movie full of fantasy. Different from other US-Soviet Cold War movies, Frankenheimer pays more attention to suppressing the atmosphere of terror, doubling and expanding the evil power of the Soviet Communist Party, which can be regarded as a very interesting thought...

The Manchurian Candidate quotes

  • Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: No evasions, Mister Secretary, no evasions if you please.

    Secretary of Defense: Evasions? What the hell are you talking about?

    Secretary of Defense: [whispering to Marco] What the hell is this nonsense?

    Marco: [covering the microphones] Mister Secretary, I'm kind of new at this job, but I don't think it's good public relations to speak that way to a US Senator, even if he is an idiot.

    Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: I am United States Senator John Yerkes Iselin, and I have here a list of two hundred seven persons who are known by the Secretary of Defense as being members of the Communist Party!

    Secretary of Defense: [amid shocked reaction from the crowd] What?

    Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: Who nevertheless are still shaping the policy of the Defense Department!

    Secretary of Defense: Senator who?

    Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: I demand an answer, Mister Secretary! There will be no covering up, sir! No covering up!

    Secretary of Defense: How did you get in here in the first place?

  • Mrs. Iselin: [at meal time] I'm sorry, hon'. Would it really make it easier for you if we settled on just one number?

    Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: Yeah. Just one, real, simple number that'd be easy for me to remember.

    [Mrs. Iselin watches her husband thump a bottle of Heinz Tomato Ketchup onto his plate]

    Sen. John Yerkes Iselin: [addressing the Senate] There are exactly 57 card-carrying members of the Communist Party in the Department of Defense at this time!
