      The end of eternity, the intersection of high latitudes

      #2017siff Melville's 100th birthday#.

      Escape and escape, original sin and original sin, time after time countless parallel circles intersect at higher latitudes.

      "When people are destined to meet, even if they don't know anything, no matter what happened to them, no matter how different the paths are. On that day, they will meet by chance in the red circle.

      In [End of Eternity] Asimov believes that the only reason we are trying to communicate with life in...

      Le cercle rouge

      The suspect Wei Gao (played by Gian Maria Volonté), who was escorted by Inspector Ma Di, escaped from the train. Ma Di immediately contacted the headquarters to set up roadblocks everywhere, and dispatched police forces to vigorously search for Wei Gao. Corey (Alain Delon) was released from prison ahead of schedule. That night, he found his old friend Rick to extort money and guns, and then bought a car and left here. Wei Gao escaped by coincidence and hid in Corey's trunk. Corey helps Weigao...

      man's love

      The rhythm is very slow, but the lines are few, but it can make people tense. After
      reading it, you will find that Mr. Du must have been deeply influenced by Melville. No wonder he has been carefully preparing for many years to remake the red circle
      . There is a kind of person in the world called a man. There is an indescribable subtle relationship between adultery and friendship. Even if you are a stranger, you can be born and die . I have
      seen dark battles, I have seen true...

      Red circle: fairness is not the truth of the world

      Wu Yanzu and Alain Delon, who is handsome?

      The answer to this question, exposure, age.

      Wu Yanzu, the least handsome movie, "De Violence";

      Alain Delon, the most handsome movie, "Red Circle";

      Both of them were sentenced to death by justice.

      Fairness is not the truth of the world. Being handsome and not handsome is dead.

      No matter how premeditated and brotherly...

      1. The commercial film is also so lengthy, it is a bit boring to watch, there is no need to be so procrastinating, is this a French type of commercial film? 2. Jewelry clips, speechless confrontation, eye contact, mutual assistance, full tacit understanding, great love, exquisiteness and tension; 3. A fateful encounter is a foreshadowing of death. Three and a...

      A cool movie to the extreme. Cold is the sternness of the atmosphere, and light is the emotion that is almost nonexistent, very cool. The amount of dialogue couldn't be less, the three people didn't say a word during the stealing of the treasure, and the security guard didn't snort when he was knocked down. Most of the clues in the plot are obscure, and the audience has to make their own connections. The influence of the theft plot on similar films in Hong Kong in the 1980s can be seen at a...

      The time is too long and it is not compact enough. I really like Corey letting Weigao, who was stuck in the trunk, come out to breathe, and at the end, Weigao desperately rushed to save Corey. In addition, the plot of Jenson finally found himself in the decadent is also great. The style of the movie is very cold and...

      Cold, stuffy, but very exciting! (I can't stand French so much I want to sleep when I hear it.) Everyone is guilty; Alain Delon and Melville are a perfect match. Who is Melville? In fact, he is the grandfather of John...

    "Le cercle rouge" is known as an extremely pure and almost perfect classic movie. It can be called a model for police and gangster movies and is the masterpiece of director Jean-Pierre Grumbach himself. The film has multiple levels of themes and rich connotations, so it can be simply regarded as a cop film, or it can be understood through deeper thinking to understand its subtle meaning. The film presents the themes such as desperate...
