    @Ozubook|Mainly by chance to see Truffaut saying that the protagonists are in a gay relationship... Arranged immediately. This is not a hint but an explicit (especially the gesture at the end "They were pretty close." I'm afraid the audience won't understand). Mengdang's "high slit" vest and scarf are so flamboyant... but they can be a meal replacement with the young Bogart...

    Will the main line start after 40 minutes? The tramp inside is so...

    The introduction and foreshadowing of the background characters in the first hour was a bit too long, but after that it ushered in a suffocating hour and a half. Cruzo played too much with suspense, and the 53-year-old movie still looks so horrifying and beautiful today. In fact, I prefer the story of "The Crow", but this one is indeed more exciting. PS: The literal translation of the title should be "The Remuneration of...

    For such an old film and for such a long time, I can continue watching it, and for a long time I sweated for the four of them, which shows that the director's skill is good. I just don't like that...

    The one-hour road adventure real-life luxury is so nervous, the line of choosing friends always runs through twists and turns, the prodigal son hits the old rivers and lakes and immediately kicks off the fat roommate and the girlfriend, and the fat person quickly establishes friendship with the American tough guy while driving. It proves that he is also a tough guy, but the old rivers and lakes turn into a bear and even abandon his friends. He brings out the male protagonist's various...

    "You are responsible for driving, I am responsible for scaring half to death." This wonderful relationship is also a contest between the director and the audience. In the 152-minute DC repair version, the opening scene of the plane landing in the small town was amazing. The tension of the big turn and the bombing of the boulder is also perfect. Compared with the still photos, the repair effect of falling into the oil pit is more sticky and suffocating. The road turns straight, and the deepening...

    It is said that the "traffic suspense film" was the first to achieve a high level, but you must not regard this film as a suspense thriller, otherwise you will be disappointed. To be precise, this is a noir film that reflects human nature. The psychological portrayal of the film is wonderful. Although the ending accident is a bit abrupt, it is indeed the best ending. It is in line with the spirit of film noir. The montage is accompanied by the music of "Blue Danube". I took a beautiful picture...

    Thriller road movie! I remember seeing the remake of the color version but I can’t find the film. . . It is said that it is the source of the name of the protagonist in "Super Mario"? ?...

    Survival guide for dangerous jobs, fear of contempt and fear of being trapped are all symptoms that are about to be finished... It’s too long to prepare. It’s not easy to have such special effects and scenes in the 1950s, and it can make people breathe with wet palms. Hurry, of course this is largely due to the full truckload of...

    Le salaire de la peur

    S.O.C's oil well gas exploded. In order to put out the fire as quickly as possible, 900 liters of nitroglycerin had to be transported there. This is an extremely dangerous task. The truck has no safety equipment or corrective bumpers. Just the slightest bump, or a bit of heat, will destroy the...

The Wages of Fear quotes

  • Bill O'Brien: The Hell with the Union! There's plenty of tramps in town, all volunteers. I'm not worried. To get that bonus, they'll carry the entire charge on their backs.

    Bradley: You mean you're gonna put those bums to work?

    Bill O'Brien: Yes, Mr. Bradley, because those bums don't have any union, nor any families. And if they blow up, nobody'll come around bothering me for any contribution.

  • Dick: When I was a kid, I used to see men go off on this kind of jobs... and not come back. When they did, they were wrecks. Their hair had turned white and their hands were shaking like palsy! You don't know what fear is. But you'll see. It's catching, it's catching like small pox! And once you get it, it's for life! So long, boys, and good luck.
