    @2021 British Masters Exhibition. I didn't get the field journal again, hey... The one I liked and surprised the most among the several film festivals I watched. I have never been to Vienna, but I have never seen such a Vienna in other works. The wonderful space, shuttles through the ruins, and even extends to the sky and the ground. It reminds me of Rome in Fellini's film, but the dark sewers here are endless. End, the soundtrack is very Nino Rota. The richness of film elements is...

    Century Shanghai. As far as the viewing environment is concerned, it is the most uncomfortable one at SIFF this year. But this third person's beautiful rhythm and sexy musical composition is totally worth the price. Lighting is also...

    It is a suspenseful masterpiece that does not rely on editing and dazzling skills, but only relies on the story to advance. The setting of suspense points is simply admirable, the texture of black and white light and shadow is amazing, the appearance of a citizen and the sewer chase scene are...

    Although it is old, it is very good in all aspects. The soundtrack is especially interesting. Although it is a crime film, there are many highlights of British...

    The third person forever, he had two funerals. For the first time, I felt that black and white films can be shot so beautifully, and the scenery and lighting scheduling are...

    BFI 100 first place? The other two of the top three are more in my heart by comparison. If the ranking is according to my meaning, it should be Lawrence of Arabia, Hate to meet you, and the third person. The lighting and editing of the shots are excellent, the soundtrack is also good, and the ending is beautiful. Maybe the films of later generations have borrowed too much from it, resulting in aesthetic numbness when...

    When Orson Welles came on, I was like "wow", one of the best noir films. The pursuit of the underground is a classic. He received the final verdict in the underground of civilization, where the filth...

    Looking for the truth all the way, but in the dilapidated ruins, I saw a mysterious figure. I have been tracking down the clues, but in the flowers and tears, I found a feeling of being let down. The friendship of the past has vanished, and only iron evidence remains. Yesterday's old friends are not what they used to be, and only the souls of the dead survive. The black and white interlaced endless night, the bizarre and lonely journey, the truth finally flows into the urban labyrinth along...

    In fact, to be honest, this story is really boring, I want to fall asleep watching it, and the oblique composition and expressionist lighting are too deliberate. Anyway, I feel that the form is more than the content. But the final sewer chase and Orson Welles' performance were really powerful and shocking. Wells should really do a good job of acting. I can't say how good he is. When he just stands there and smiles, he is full of charm. This kind of aura is probably...

    "The Wasteland" doesn't provide a sloping and crumbling house, a super rhythm, a dark and chaotic world... TSElliot was only inspired by an experience of an Antarctic expedition and questioned "Who is the third person who always walks by your side?"...

    British black and white suspense film, excellent photography

    British suspense film, black and white, excellent photography, the music played by the zither runs through the whole film, which is very characteristic and very pleasant.

    The three protagonists are Joseph Cotton, Alida Vardy, and Orson. Wells did a great job.

    Harry's appearance, tracking in the...

    Suspense lover's little feeling

    It can be said that it is a suspenseful feature film that loves black and white movies very much. The wonderful composition of light and shadow, the use of various lens techniques, and the intense soundtrack complement each other, which is very enjoyable. The only thing I feel is a little...
