      What about "The Fight of Men"?

      "The Fight of Men is the best film noir I've ever seen." -François Truffaut, The Movie of My Life

      Who would have thought that Vittorio Gassman and Marcelo Mastroianni, the two male gods, would have The witty play of blind obsession with stealing, and the irony that humans will find ways to screw things up when they have achieved their ideals struck me.

      An indescribable sense of urgency drove me to click on...

      fight of men

      Personally, I think that the stealing scene was very classic. When I was watching that scene, I felt that a little noise around me was harassing the protagonist in the movie, and in that song and dance scene, the silhouette of the man in the background was very Great! Very distinctive! Really distinctive! Noir films, always end with tragedy and death, to be honest, I don't know if I feel right, I always feel that the final confrontation between the protagonist and the villain is a little...

      treachery

      The first dead companion lost his life in order to save the male protagonist, the second died was the one who betrayed his friend, the third died because of his weakness, and finally the dead male protagonist died because of the excessive bloodshed of his friend's child , In fact, there is no nostalgia for revenge, but why did you take the diamond away? The woman who ignored the hero's death at the end of the film didn't look back, the four sad men.

      no spend

      There are many small details in the theft scene, which are worth pondering. Tony put the extinguished matches and the leftover cigarette butts into the matchbox, Joe accidentally touched the strings of the piano keys twice, Mario's kiss on the chisel, the old police patrolling the street suddenly stopped to pick up the cigarettes from the ground. That part of the box really made me nervous. Joe's youngest son was kidnapped and rescued. In the camera, he is always cheerful and completely...

      Far inferior to today's technical conditions, the dance with chains is achieved, and the half-hour paragraph of stealing treasures without verbal communication cannot be copied and is no longer necessary. After stealing the treasure, the direction and acting are good but relatively boring. Dassin himself plays the role of an Italian lockpicking expert who does not understand the language and is very...

      Mental gender traits. Men indulge in subtle games and weaken their guilt. The opening chapter uses the metaphor of a game—a man who earnestly plays poker. The seriousness when testing and stacking tools must be said to be natural. There is ritual intoxication in the extra-long theft. The rest, such as friendship, farewell, grievance, and love, are also extremely solemn. The final shot is great. Excessive restraint and silent ending, some regrets, three and a half...

      Daxin is really good at telling stories, all the shots and pictures are stories, and the stories bring out the characters' distinct personalities, and nowhere is a waste of writing! The scene at the end was so moving that it almost brought tears to my eyes. A man who keeps his promise is a...

      This film is adapted from the novel of the same name and is the originator of the theft theme. The director portrayed the thieves who were originally considered marginal characters as "craftsman"-type characters, portrayed their lives in every detail, and even made the audience yearn for their success, with a "bad" tone. The most exciting part of this film is the 30-minute crime-free process with no dialogue and no soundtrack. Although it is a bit too obtrusive, it produces a tense and exciting...

      The film highlights the flesh and blood of the three thieves, which is respected. The outsourcer Caesar betrayed Mario. Mario and his wife Ed would rather die in the face of coercion. They chose to protect their friends. Joe's son was kidnapped, and Joe chose to use money. After changing children, he finally took his own life. Tony saved people by himself and was seriously...

    The climax of "Rififi" is in "theft". This nearly 30-minute paragraph has no lines and no music. Only the director takes pains to describe the theft process in great detail. Jules Dassin has shaped the thief into a craftsman and an artist, while The audience also has admiration for these criminals in the process of watching (Time Net Review)  .
    "Rififi" can be regarded as the masterpiece of Dassin's noir films. After he was away from...

    • Viviane: [singing] When I'm done workin' the beat, He takes me to the movies as a treat, He don't care what flick we see, So long as it's got "rififi," In love, he can be kinda rough, He don't go for sentimental stuff, A chick, he keeps telling me, Gets her kicks on "rififi," And when he really lets himself go, I get a cuff just for show, And when I'm lying by his side, I'm nothing, I got no pride, In paradise I wanna be, I'll pay the price in "rififi"

    • Viviane: [singing] You look like you don't have a clue, Like no one ever spoke to you, 'Bout "rififi," It's not a word that people use, Among the swells, the Who's Who's, "Rififi," It's the lingo of the streetwise, The battle cry of real tough guys, "Rififi," So don't fry your brain and grumble, All it means is "rough n'tumble," "Rififi"
