    Orson Welles is certainly not without talent, but too talented. The vast majority of people film the string too loose, but Wells is too tight, or even broken. PS, maybe those men who are both actors and directors are a little narcissistic, such as Wells, such as Jiang Wen; PPS, directors before the 1970s in the United States, watching movies now, can be called masters or only majestic Leslie and...

    The dead fat man pretended to be intimidating, the story was extremely boring, and the shots were not aesthetically pleasing. After that, it's a little brighter at the back. The music and some of the supporting characters are also...

    I don't know what the original version looks like, but I feel that this version looks chaotic in structure, and some points appear abruptly. But the use of the lens is really...

    Good story, good means. Plays with light and shadow, and the angles are gorgeous. The first half was too...

    The OST of the film is great, the mambo's drums match the rhythm of the plot, and the Mexican music played by the proprietress's sonata; the scene at the beginning of the film on the border between the United States and Mexico is great, the chaotic feeling of the world; the black and white screen cuts The operation also gives people a compelling atmosphere. Although the film noir in the 1930s and 1940s was already using light and shadow cutting to express people's hearts, the picture cutting of...

    It's a version edited according to the director's original intention. The stunning long shot with more than three points in the opening scene spans a lot and the scheduling is complex. It is indeed a classic in film history. Many of the dialogues in the middle are long shots. There are many bright spots in photography and scheduling. Orson Welles wrote, directed, and acted brilliantly. But the dialogue and plot are a bit messy, and they are often cryptic and a little dull. Feeling Regrets and...

    So powerful. In the end, who will remember who blew up the car? But that's not the point. Speaking of how this film was translated into a beautiful woman, it is even more wrong to be wild and in love. Is this to attract the audience? Very misleading, okay? The protagonists are all heading for a strange life than before! The story is really...

    From a technical point of view alone, it is already a movie with advanced audiovisual language. The scheduling of the first long shot is still excellent even now, and combined with the suspense very well, it can be called a classic. Sheriff Hank was so good, I can't tell if Orson Welles was better as a director or better as an actor. Generally speaking, it is a noir film that is still smooth and full of suspense when seen now. It was definitely beyond the times to be able to make it in...

    beautiful woman
