      Kiss Of Fire

      The second feature feature film directed by Ku Da, although the plot is not outstanding (so in the future to follow the path of adaptation of the script? 2333), but the whole film is a lot of brilliance, just cut the picture diligently, and share it with everyone.

      The boxer who lost the game again was shrouded in the darkness of the room, and the light of the hostess's house next door was suddenly turned on;

      As a film noir, it should end like this

      I saw that most of the comments here praised the film’s photographic standards, and many people were a little disappointed with the film’s plot, especially the final ending. Actually, I think the ending is very good, very black. So, here I just briefly talk about some of my views on the plot of the whole film, and I won’t discuss the technology or anything.
      First of all, the real protagonist of the film is the woman rather than the boxer, and this woman can be regarded as a femme fatale....

      I think the ending part is the essence

      In my opinion, most of Kubrick's films unanimously express the themes of reflection on human nature, satire, pity, and sarcasm. In this film, Kudao focuses on the object of reflection is love. The male and female protagonists who live in the same apartment, the male is strong, full of justice, the sense of family, the female is young and beautiful, and so on. The two hearts behind the two opposing glass windows unknowingly attract each other, falling in love by accident. This is the kind of...

      Black sweet dreams

      The benefits of tireless attempts [fear and desire] failed to pay the sponsor’s money, but this did not prevent Kubrick from continuing his filming plan. He still managed to make his second feature film [Killer [The Kiss] still got the old partner Howard Sackler to write the script, which became Kubrick’s last film with an original script. Dissatisfaction with [Fear and Desire] did not affect Kubrick’s exploration of form in the slightest. As he said, “A truly creative...

      The River of Tracing Style——The Echo of "Kiss of the Killer" in Laoku's Movies

      This article mainly puts some comparative pictures made by me. The film critics and Kubrick’s film poetics are often overwhelming. The narration of his early films shows the talents and talents commensurate with Shakespeare. Zai's voice is condensed into a more solid and profound silence, like a poetry that relies on the lens and atmosphere to express emotions.

      There is no need to say much about the cinematography skills and narrative structure. The earliest Ku’s films were technically very thoughtful, but the tension of the story was mediocre. Except for the exciting scenes in the last 20 minutes, other performances were...

      It's a good story. The setting of the plot is excellent, but unfortunately there is no further arrangement, so it looks immature; if the love factor is removed and the dancer is used as a clue-type character, this movie will be ahead of the curve...

      I confess, I fell asleep watching Kubrick's second work for a long time. So far, Kubrick has made a total of thirteen feature films, and I have finished watching twelve. The remaining one is his debut novel, which has been recycled and destroyed by him, so I will not look for it. This is really a great moment, what a pretentious and feasible move to see all twelve of Kubrick's living...

      Much improvement over the previous one. Suddenly from a crappy student work to a full-fledged film. At the end of the movie, the two men have a spear-versus-axe duel for a woman, in a room full of old models, which is very cult. . It can also be seen that Kubrick's love for axes has a long...
