      Jeremy Irons' Oscar-Quality

      Jeremy Irons won an Oscar for Best Actor for this film. This may seem sudden.
      Yet the performance stayed on the screen. No lies.
      Claus von Bulow by Jerymy Irons is glorious and full of enchanting magic.
      You listen to his accent, a very backward British accent.
      "Because Sunny asked for it."
      "Sunny got what sunny wanted."
      Tall and dignified.

      He and his wife mention his mistress:
      "...our understanding about...my extracurricular activities...I've been...

      Why does everyone doubt Uncle Tie?

      It's okay, court dramas generally love court battles. I don't know why this film gave up this kind of confrontation. In addition, if it was really intentional murder, why did the heroine not guard against Uncle Tie after first awakening from a coma? She can track it down, sue directly, and even revise her will. Therefore, on the other hand, why does everyone conclude that it is Uncle Tie? In addition, if the murder is intentional, Uncle Tie's actions such as stopping the maid's rescue by the...

      The Perspective of God of the Living Dead

      The story is realistic and fast-paced without losing its ups and downs. But why does the narration of the living dead appear from time to time to spoof sensationalism, as if the director is also hoping to confuse the audience's judgment of the truth, but is the truth really that complicated? A rich woman is not someone who wants a divorce, even if she knows her husband has a concubine. The fate of the rich woman is so tragic, she will think she is a loser because of her failed marriage, so...

      reversal of fortune

      This is what Jeremy Irons looked like before he entered "old age" in Reversal of Fortune, and of course, for most of the film, he sacrifices his looks, shaving parts of his hair, showing his forehead, and the rest The ash was dyed, and the chin was injected with a silicone pad for height, and the figure was artificially modified in order to accurately reproduce the appearance of the nobleman Claus von Blow. But I have to say, it doesn't bother him at all. Throughout the film's two-hour run, he...

      It's hard to see a film with this structure now, and after watching the film, there is another level of understanding of the American judicial system. Uncle Tie, the second male lead, is charming, evil and funny. Although I don't think it is the best performance of his acting career, it is not surprising that he won the Oscar that year. Looking at the real photos after watching the film, the heiress is more beautiful than the...

    Evaluation action

    The processing of the entire film is rigorous and neat, and the content is divided into two parts. On the one hand, through the recollection of a gentleman who was sarcastically used to kill a wealthy wife with drugs, it gradually showed the inhumane life of this rich family. The purpose is obviously to show the so-called high-class life manners, but in fact it reflects that these people must wear different masks when facing life and...
