      Lying dumb

      "I was sitting in the dark, holding a beer, half drunk and half awake, only the music from the cinema next door kept me from falling asleep completely.

      perfect noir


      I finally watched another noir film that entered IMDB top250. The film is the perfect definition of noir. The male protagonist from a private detective background, the most standard female fatal, smart, tough yet CYNICAL dialogue, plus the complex plot of the little big sleep , 9 points (1 point deducted is not too satisfied with the ending)
      Robert Mitchum is too charming, whether he is the hero or villain in the noir, he will always
      check IMDB so perfectly , this is only Kirk...

      ?

      The characters are more full-fledged. The first time I watched it, because I lacked sleep, there was a lot of dialogue in the movie, and I fell asleep twice, but I still noticed Bailey’s charisma, mixed with tough guys, profligate, affectionate, and steady, but it was still not enough. The second time I saw it, it wasn't so high. Casey’s appearance is also amazing, I don’t know how much it is because of the plot (a woman fired four shots at her gang boss man to open the...

      Until the last moment

      Love until the last moment is still pure love is true love, knowing that the movies that are still attracted at the last moment are good movies.
      The start is clever, and the reminiscence narrative is inserted to make the plot more vivid and rich. The traps in the later stage are set up intricately and have different purposes. The mystery is solved and new doubts arise. Until the end, under repeated attacks and extensions of human nature, it ends. .
      In particular, the subtlety of the...

      Jacques Tourneur takes a twist and turns film noir romantically, with a great ending, outlaw-like generosity to death and white lies, all with an extreme...

      [5] The two-part story can be combined because of the common tone, bursting out a stronger type of passion, rushing into the black quagmire without any scruples, and finally revealing a touch of tenderness like a flash of inspiration. The charm of "Femme fatale" is that even if she knows her evil, she can still be fascinated by this mystery. Falling into layers of vortex, unable to get rid of the past, there is no future, so I just want to embrace the...

    Evaluation action

    "Out of the Past" cleverly weaves the two parts of love story and murder together, so that the characters face more choices, and deliberately creates a repetition of the plot, so that the protagonist faces the same problem and makes another choice. During the repetition, the character and spirit of the characters have been greatly enriched, and finally formed a patchwork and irreplaceable character structure.
