Orson Welles is one of the directors I've been misunderstood for the longest time. Xu Ruofeng said when did you see Wells' goodness and when did you really start watching movies. 17 New Year's Eve at the...

The use of shot language, especially the extensive use of moving shots, was exploratory in early black-and-white films, especially the opening three-minute long shot. Overhead shots and slanted, cramped shots add to the film's unsettling and dark vibe, and the tracking at the end, coupled with sharp editing, is better than any action movie. The tit-for-tat dramatic conflict, Hank's frame-up is disgusting, but Vargas' local prejudice is also not...

Theorists call it the final chapter of film noir. After the shocking long shot of the opening, the photography becomes very weak, with a lot of low elevation and horizontal angle shots mixed with the desired effect and even a little incongruous. Although the whole film maintains a mysterious tone of lighting, it does not really excavate the real sense of Xiao Su from the social environment and the depth of the characters, and it is even a bit cheap....

I almost forgot how much I loved Orson Welles, and then I watched [All Time]; I almost forgot how much I loved film noir, and then I watched [All Time]. The unparalleled scheduling and composition of one shot after another is the well-deserved protagonist of the film. What is most tense in the shots is not the characters, but their shadows. I don't know if the film would be more rhythmic if it wasn't poisoned by the producers, especially the famous ending is the weakest and most...

110min re-cut. The technique is impeccable, the story still needs to be polished. The good and evil police detectives are juxtaposed in a conspiracy, referring to two attitudes in life, and the ability of the real villain in the film seems to be seriously blurred on purpose, replaced by functionality, which has an obvious effect on the advancement of the plot. The opening is thunderous, the ending is intriguing, not perfect but still a work of...

Orson Wells just made it another day. 1. The opening lift + long track push mirror reveals and hangs, after the explosion, Wu turns to chaotic handheld photography. 2. Multi-line narrative, Wells plays the arrogant and corrupting sheriff like Citizen Kane, Dietrich said: Your future is all used up, and the night watchman is the gods. 3. Dark-adjust and high-contrast lighting, and more close-ups with a tilted elevation angle to create an anxious atmosphere. 4. Advanced destructive music, noisy...

Look at the re-cut version. The story is really bad, but everything except the story is really awesome. The degree of cinematography is so breathtaking, picking a scene is as awesome as showing off...

The complex non-linear story structure is the earliest realism of the crimes on the US-Mexico border. The long shot at the beginning is really impressive, and almost jumped from the seat...Although the hero and the heroine are stupid, the end is full of humane compassion, which greatly enhances the style of the movie. I prefer English...

The Evil Universal tampered with Wells's personally edited version, and later re-edited it based on his more than 50 pages of posthumous manuscript before it was close to the original version. The film doesn't appeal to me in terms of narrative, especially a large segment of boring reasoning. The long shot of the first three minutes is simply a dazzling technique. It attracts the audience at the same time as the bomb. The shift of attention and the complicated scheduling of actors, the scene...
