      350 words more than one word is not enough

      At the end of the film, both the male and female protagonists died. This time there was no conspiracy, no betrayal or destruction, but only the poignant beauty of the persistence of love. This poignant beauty is even more moving in the falling snow. This is a "black" ending that is different from traditional noir films. In fact, the black tone of the film has been deflected since the male protagonist escaped from the gun.

      On the one hand, the male protagonist is like a symbolic prop,...

      Be brave and loyal

      Could this film be considered another antihero? Johnny does not have the bright, powerful, and fighting characteristics of traditional heroes, but he is in a trance most of the time; besides his wife, he lacks the supportive companions around traditional heroes. On the contrary, most people either want to abandon him, or want to betray him. But combined with the time background of the story, everything seems to transcend tradition, reflecting the reality of the lack of support for the IRA in...

      I don't understand why there are so many good reviews

      At the beginning, he reminded Johnny to stay at home for six months, looking for a reason for the chain to fall behind, which was a little deliberate; his companion suggested him not to go out, which was a little deliberate; he said that he must go out, which was a little deliberate; If the chain is dropped, and the sun is dazzling, the driver will not be able to get in the car. This arrangement is a little deliberate; the intersection is blocked by a car at a critical time, which is a...

      [Film Review] Odd Man Out (1947) 8.0/10

      While the city of Belfast and IRA are conspicuously unspecified in Carol Reed's film noir mood-setter ODD MAN OUT, it actually betrays that what Reed tries to tell is a universal moral story. Thrusting Johnny McQueen (Mason), the head of an insurgent organization , who becomes a wounded fugitive on the run after a mill-robbing bravado goes amiss, at the mercy of various...

      A genre-like art film

      The setting of the brave and loyal will make people think that this is a genre film. At the beginning of the film, Carol Reed focuses on a meeting that is taking place. We follow the camera's point of view and find that the characters in the film are in Discussing how to rob a bank, the film sets a goal at the beginning, but does not directly explain the reason for the robbery, which leaves suspense for the audience and is also a very genre-like setting.

      But as the story progresses, it...

      The plot is really boring. . But this level of black and white photography. I'm afraid I'll never see you...

      A self-imprisoned dying man breathes the last breath of chaotic air in bleak Belfast. Carol Reed "depoliticizes" the political context of what is right and what is wrong, but replicates its ambiguity to every character. When the train whistle blows, everything dissipates. However, I hope you who fell on the snow will be...

      The foreshadowing in the first half is too long, and the IQ of the members of the anti-government organization is simply anxious, but the wonderful portrayal in the second half is enough to sublimate the whole...
