Murder, hide corpses, and indoor furnishings

After watching this film, I feel Capra wins a point in my heart. The overall expressiveness of the film is very strong (although I don’t like the exaggerated acting of the handsome guy Gary Grant in it), in a residence, it contains a series of spaces for killing, hiding corpses, and "burial". The design of the scenes Very characteristic with layout. An unbelievable story, under Capra’s comic narration, always reminds me of Hitchcock. To be precise, it is reminded of Hitchcock’s two films:...

Poison and the old woman

A great black comedy, the character setting and performance are exceptionally in place. As a movie at the beginning of the last century, it still seems that there is still a strong sense of theatrical drama, and the character performance is also slightly exaggerated. The rhythm of the film is slow in the early stage, but the contradictions are concentrated in the middle and late stages, the characters appear one after another, and the climax continues. The fly in the ointment is that the...

Poison and the old woman

The old lady opened the cabinet and put her hats.

Helped a homeless man and ended his suffering in the world, just like the current euthanasia, but when I think about it, it feels even more terrifying. After all, the two old people's views are caused by the different views of good and evil under different...

Comedy conflict in a single scene

Since the several films directed by Capra I have come into contact with before are relatively themes, I thought that before watching "Poison and the Old Woman", I thought that this should continue the previous style. Sure enough, it started with an emotional scene between Grant and the girl, as well as an idiot's funny plot. So far, the atmosphere is more relaxed and lively. Although there is a reminder of a "homicidal case" in the beginning of the film, it is estimated to have been left behind...
