Good work requires the director to take more courageous risks and trade-offs, even if it makes the movie deviate from logic

I have always felt that American movies are too heavy on the plot, the actors are too direct, the directors lack the artistic cells to leave the film blank, the screenwriters write the story too logically to the point of lifelessness, and the image level is even more superficial and terrifying, as if never Know what is the meaning of white space with endless aftertaste. Until I saw this work, I found that it changed my impression of most American movies. There is no doubt that it has obvious...

[Film Review] Gloria (1980) 7.5/10

Cassavetes's tenth feature, GLORIA is a Venice Golden Lion winner, an honor shared with Louis Malle's THE ATLANTIC CITY (1980), its skeletal storyline anachronistically reminds of late comers such as Luc Besson's LÉON: THE PROFESSIONAL and Eric Zonca's JULIA, Gena Rowlands plays an ex-moll Gloria Swenson (a nod to G. Swanson), who is press-ganged into protecting a young Puerto Rican tyke Phil Dawn...

A stress-free escape

"Female Shark Glory" has a certain status in film history. A similar plot can be seen in "This Killer Is Not So Cold", and in Wong Kar-wai's "Chongqing Forest", you can also see the role of tribute to Rowlands (Lin Qingxia) The blonde killer played). As far as the author is concerned, the film script is good enough to create various conflicts, but the author believes that the film is not as good as imagined.

In similar movie plots, the audience can concentrate on the plot of "This...

Charming Glory

"The Shameless Glory" has been produced in a modest manner. Whether it is mirroring, editing, or narrative, there are no highlights in this film. The most fascinating part of this movie is the plump characters and the wonderful chemical reaction between them.

Why is the heroine charming? First of all, "Girl Shark Glory" presents a decayed and dirty world. In this movie, we can see depressed streets, old buildings and slums everywhere, and even the...

It is almost the prototype of Leon, there are too many similar bridges, and the model is Lin Qingxia of Chongqing Forest, which shows the wide influence of this film and its unique and strong style. The story and characters are also very good, especially the female lead. Strong, yet fragile and humane, the performance is the best, and the interaction with the little boy is also quite realistic, it is worth...

Glory's roles are constantly changing: sister, friend, mother, lover, partner, representing her exploration of her own home; the little boy is not likable, and there is no foreshadowing at the beginning, and as a result, many scenes in the future cannot let her go. I have a love for him, which is not the same as Leon the Killer; John Cassavetes expresses his love for Gina somewhat in the plot, the little boy seems to be the embodiment of John; the film is a pioneer of this type of film...
