      Sin in the sun

      At that time, the filming was relatively calm. Without the urgency and bluntness of the current commercial film that instigates the emotions of the audience every few minutes, it can sneak into the mind and leave a long-lasting mark.

      The scenes of Tom’s two murders were short and there was no bloody rendering, but the sloshing sea and the hull of the boat in the first time, and the scattered vegetables, chickens and Freddy’s big body in the second time, plus the excessively quiet. The...

      Watching movies

      This is the 1960 film version of the author Patricia Highsmith's "Genius Ripley", the title of which is purple noon in English.
      Unlike the 1999 movie version of Anthony Minghella's "Genius Ripley", this version of "The Sinking Dead" focuses more on showing how evil human nature is without a reason, how greedy human nature is, and how Ripley himself is So smart and so lucky, it didn't show Ripley's same-sex obsession with Philip. After killing Philip, he was able to escape the police and...

      In front of God, turn around

      In the first few days of 2017, I watched "Under the Sun", "Goodbye Friends", and "Sweet Calculations", and revisited "Red Circle", which basically set the tone for this year. Because I was so excited and emotional that I was overstretched when I thought of it, so I waited until I calmed down to write a film review. The deepest impression of this movie is that the protagonist is not exactly the Tom Ripley in the book, nor the Tom Ripley of Motor, but completely Ripley of Alain Delon. A person...

      Truth and truth

      The two often deviate from each other, in love, because of the time difference between entering.
      For example, I always can’t figure out why Maggie fell in love with that violent second generation?
      It simply makes no sense.
      But the easy thing is to fall in love, and the harder thing is to persevere, isn't it?
      Obviously, a wider person is more likely to sway his temperament, making it easy for people to feel that many inductions and actions are just for him.
      As for those...

      Quite good looking

      For me, what attracted me to the whole movie is that although it is a crime suspense film, the atmosphere created by the director is very lazy and ambiguous. Like a general narrative style whispering softly in the ear, a piece of emptiness and romance pervades with a classical tone, and the texture of a film like a dreamland makes me unconsciously immersed in it. The whole process of watching the movie was too pleasant. Compared to the final at large of Ripley in "Genius Ripley", I like this...

      It is still very different from the American version of "Genius Ripley". It's a crime to have such a beautiful picture of a crime movie. All the scenes are open and bright, inviting people to indulge and indulge themselves. There is no criticism but sympathy for the male lead. The soundtrack is also written by Nino...

      Like many works showing love triangles, "The Dead in the Furious Sea", which is firmly gripped by a sense of fate, shows the uniqueness and irreplaceability of the relationship between the sexes in love. The male protagonist cannot achieve his goal through legitimate means, so he can only rely on forgery and impostor to invade other people's territory for possession. Everyone could see that Cremon didn't want this poor boy to truly integrate into that rich world. The real person at the helm...

    The plot of the film is full of resourceful twists. The protagonist has deliberately put himself in a dangerous situation more than once, and one of the fascinating things of the movie is that it makes people imagine how Tom Nibury can get rid of the danger. Nothing in the film is predictable.  . ( Comment on " European Film Genres: History, Classics and Narrative ")
