      Also male and female thieves

      Every time I go to Zhenyu, I always have a big head. Why more than 90% are European films that suffocate and kill people. Of course, there are also South American, Australian, Middle Eastern films, but that is not my style. Ask the standard middle-aged Wenqing boss, he often smiles helplessly, and then says meaningfully about American films. . . So I found a piece of "Cold-Blooded Torch", which is really lucky.

      The name of the cold-blooded Torch is very melon, the original name is...

      girl chasing the train

      It is very interesting to watch the early works of some well-known directors, such as Hitchcock's love triangle in his early years, Kurosawa also shot the propaganda film of World War II in his early years, and "The Human Torch" as Martin Scotia Sett's lesser-known work in his early years is indeed not as stunning as his later masterpieces, but some scenes are indeed worth recalling.

      Because the name "Cold-Blooded Torch" is too sloppy, so I want to change the title of this...

      The blood in 1972 was so fake, and the people in 1972 were so stupid. As a young Martin, he didn't know where he was going. . . This film tells us that crime has no good...

      It can be seen from this film that old Martin is not the kind of director who is at the peak of his debut, but a wine that keeps getting better and better. A lot of the scenes in this movie are good, but overall it's pretty...

      Also translated "Caravan Bosa" or "Bertha's Car", but all translations are as unsatisfactory as the movie. Martin Scorsese's first and second feature film in Hollywood. The type of story is very "Bonnie and Clyde", but it is much duller and the pace is fast and slow. Lao Ma really likes close-up shots of his body when he shoots erotic scenes. It can be regarded as a stylization. Although the editing is incoherent and the narrative is a little dragged and ugly, it is still understandable...

    Background creation

    The early works of film master Martin Scorsese are engraved with a distinct brand of the times. " Boxcar Bertha " sold well after its release, but Martin Scorsese didn't get the chance to direct a new film right away. He pitched his script, "Cruel Street," to others, but couldn't find an investor. Later, through a friend's introduction, he obtained $150,000 in funds from a young heir, and started work with the original crew of " Boxcar...

    Evaluation action

    The name Boxcar Bertha is incomparable. The original name is Boxcar Bertha, the carriage Bertha, which is the name of the heroine in the film (she is neither cold-blooded nor thunderbolt, the hero is a strange person with a strong sense of morality in a certain way, of course also Not a cold-blooded thunderbolt. Well, that's probably how that gang of cops are described). The introduction on the envelope is also very bloody, saying that...
