“Chinatown belongs to a genre whose basic plot structure fits perfectly into the archetypal Hollywood storyline of a hero who sets out on a quest in order to end a conflict or solve a mystery. But Chinatown departs from that paradigm in important ways, as well as embracing elements of other genres, notably the paranoid thriller or conspiracy film, and the horror film.” (Fitzmaurice 150) Noir films have an important form of a standard called "German expressionist light". And the new Hollywood...

This movie, as well as the three billboards, is a category that I haven't been able to type for nearly two months this year. From yesterday to today, I've been pretending to think about things, but what I'm thinking about is why I don't want to write a word. .
Three billboards I can't write because it's perfect in my mind. I don't deserve to make irresponsible remarks about what I have in my stomach at the moment. I am very optimistic about winning the best original screenplay. I can't...

Roman Polanski: I love shadows in movies
Just returned to Shenzhen to settle down, and I was exhausted. Half a month of vacation, it feels like a short while, eating, sleeping, visiting relatives and staying at home in a daze, while dealing with the bombardment of family members looking for girlfriends...
As soon as I left today, I found a sigh of relief. I am afraid to go home, there should be an embarrassed and polite smile here.
I don't know which of the four New Year's films you have watched. I watched...

Because of the movie "Story", I have to say that spoilers are devastating to the viewing experience of suspense movies, especially when you know the best turning point of this movie - She's my sister and my daughter.
Even so, the plot is fluid and interlocking, and each episode is so well-meaning that it's hard to find extra shots. I am still amazed by this classic script in the history of film while watching the movie. From the beginning of Jake's investigation into an extramarital...

Film noir: innocent faces half-hidden in the night and sinful hearts gleaming in the light; the art of lighting; the historical label of "Chinatown" (and even more ironic today. When can I take off this hat??? There is a long way to go, my friends. Bah, beside the point).
Excellent - The movement of the mirror is smooth, relatively few editing, and the sense of recording is strong. Subjective shot: beautiful composition and strong interaction. (Special に: The first 5 minutes. Quickly...

While watching the film, I always felt that the shadow writer of the driver a few years ago was very similar to the film, regardless of the structure or narrative style, and even felt that the latter was stronger than the rhythm and was better than the film. It wasn't until I watched the entire film that the powerful darkness seemed to grab my neck, making me want to cry but didn't dare to cry. Shadow writer instantly pediatrics in front of seniors. In the darkness and coldness deep down to the...

Probably Polanski's best film, Robert Downer's script design is perfect, but it does not obscure the director's brilliance, the use of shots is skillful and smooth, and the mise-en-scene is free and easy. Incomparably subtle, the combination of sublimation of viewpoint and authenticity, Chinatown is symbolized into a symbol of sin, and Polanski's film is essentially a raucous...

A movie should first tell the story well, then Chinatown can be a typical example. In addition, Nielsen's performance and the soundtrack of the film are also very...

Polanski's scheduling and Nicholson's performance, as well as photography that is too crowded and too loose, is not too suspenseful, but it is an attractive tone that has slowly formed, love it! ! !...

"Chinatown" itself is not directly related to "Chinatown". As for why it is named such a small creative skill, of course, this refers to the inspiration for Robert Downey to write this script. The ending is very tragic. The whole movie is impeccable in every aspect, from the script to the director, acting, photography, and soundtrack. I like Jack Nicholson more and more and watch a lot of his...
Lt. Escobar: How'd you get past the guard?
Jake Gittes: Well, to tell you the truth, I lied a little.
Jake Gittes: Son of a bitch! Goddamn Florsheim shoe!
Jake Gittes: What the hell is going on here, Lou?
Lt. Escobar: I don't know. What's going on? What's happening with you?
