      It's really hard to rate old movies

      There are many types of movies, romance, life, biography, horror, thriller and suspense. To rate a type of movie, the most basic requirement is that you have watched enough movies of this type before you are qualified to comment, just like a person's extreme food. Love, not to satisfy his stomach, then he will have a profound evaluation of food.
      This 1955 movie, if you look at it from the current point of view, has absolutely no surprises, because we have seen too many works of similar...

      The thriller of "a hundred turns and a thousand times" + some doubts about the ending

      This is my second scariest movie after The Shining. Although it is very long, every second is not wasted, especially the last corridor scene, which is absolutely wonderful (the part where the male protagonist picks his eyes is simply amazing). However, there are some doubts about the ending:

      Is the heroine dead?

      After just watching the movie, I tend to prefer that the heroine is not dead, then many plots in the movie can be explained. For example, the heroine is obviously afraid...

      [Spoiler alert] Personal understanding, refute the views of some comments

      In my opinion, the heroine must be dead.

      Some people think that the layout of the detective and the heroine is impossible. On the night when the heroine confessed to the detective, the detective replied "You should stop charging your nerves. You need a strong sedative. Tomorrow morning, you'll wake up acquitted." A post-collapse fantasy. Afterwards, he went to check the box that carried the "corpse" of the male protagonist. At this time, he may have just realized that the female...

      Who is the devil?

      ?"demon"

      Twice a day thriller, it's a bit overwhelming to watch it, but I still have to say that it's definitely a pity not to watch this thriller. Save the whole series +1 at the end (watched together with "The Price of Fear")

      55 years of film, many routines, such as heart disease, husband and wife tearing, mistress forcing the palace, husband and mistress kill the original partner with intent to make money and kill, suspended animation, "resurrection", fake eyeballs (contact...

      Suspense Master Hitchcock?

      Waited 2 days to rate. . . Be calm and objective. .
      There is only one problem with the film. . . Such a big thing, the heroine was half planned. . . The rest is perfect. . . . The development rhythm of the foreshadowing is also controlled at a leisurely pace. . The addition of private investigators is also good. . . . The climax of the film can compete for the best in film history. . . At least on the finals track. . . 9 stars to offer. . . The best French and suspense movie I've seen so...

      The final subtitle of this movie is "Don't be evil, don't spoil, don't ruin your friend's fun in this movie." Judging from the level of the year, it is really a good...

      The movie is getting more and more backwards. I really admire that such a creative film can be made in that...

      It's not bad~ I'm not stubborn about 3 stars or 4 stars. The last stroke is a bit superfluous, but the director's advice is a bit...

      It's hard to say that Hitchcock wasn't affected, the twist in the middle is too godlike. The ending is easy to guess, and similar themes have...

      It's great, from killing to hiding corpses, the handling of each paragraph is too NB! Jacques Baker and Henri-Georges Clouzot admire the almost harsh setting and foreshadowing of the details by the two French...

    • [repeated lines]

      Alfred Fichet, le commissaire: I'll find him.

    • Christina Delassalle: So it's a coincidence?

      Nicole Horner: A coincidence, yes.

      Christina Delassalle: And Fichet. Was his being at the morgue a coincidence? And the suit. And the hotel. And now the children! Is it a coincidence that it's getting closer and closer?
