"The Duelist"

Scott's 1977 work, based on a true story in French history, the duel between Saarrowitz and Dupont.

In the early 19th century, Hubert and Philo, two officers under Napoleon in France, had a dispute over trivial matters. Philo thought that Hubert had insulted him and challenged him. After the first duel, he refused to accept it and continued, so it got out of hand, and the two people's duel on and off lasted for fifteen years. In the past fifteen years, Hubert and Philo have experienced...

maybe a romance

It is estimated that in the process of growing up, you will always encounter such or that cheap people. These people are in school and in the company. Apart from studying and work, there may be a little intersection. After class and get off work, it can be said that they are completely unfamiliar. There is only one person. These people are not neighbors and live quite far away from you, and then your family backgrounds are relatively different. To put it directly, the family education is...

A distant companion to "The Last Showdown"

The more I read it, the more I feel that Scott is first a narrator of the themes of "classical" (or "fate" and "historical will") and then a filmmaker. ". This 1977 "Dueler" is a companion to 2021's "The Last Showdown."

Once upon a time, duels were a form of honor. So, "The Duelist" is about the rationality of the daily life of mortals who are afraid of death finally defeating the irrational sense of honor of the warriors' fanaticism, and with the decline...

Kind of like a Chinese martial arts novel

I have a lot of fate with this director. I just watched his recent movie "A good year". If you look at his early work, you can see that he is really talented. There is a naive feel to the movies of the '70s, though.
The film is about two French officers in the Napoleonic era who experienced 4 thrilling duels in 15 years. But every duel was unilaterally provoked by that Feraud, the stalker who was almost frantically trying to fight Hubert for a trivial matter. Hubert was reluctant every...

The beginning and the middle are rather boring, and the latter is much better after the Russian battle. The boring duel is much better with the changes of the times and the torrent of fate. I admire the character of the male protagonist, repay grievances with virtue, and the handling at the end is also very...

A good character and a good actor are great to watch. A paranoid and a normal person win, lose and draw. The fourth uncontrollable trembling is too real. The paranoid is fearless and unmoved. The contingency in the absurdity is what it should be. The fifth and more dangerous pistol has grown up after many years. I have the capital to stop rationally. Walking from the forest to the top of the mountain may not be able to open up for so many years, except for paranoia. It's cute to recuperate and...

If you use a little divergent thinking, it will make people feel that this movie is like a combination of duel + flute shocking the soul of the army. The plot is so simple that people feel that it is a duel for no reason for fifteen years, and it is necessary to fight as soon as they meet. . . Harvey Keitel is really like the big truck in the duel, chasing Karadin. . . It looks incredible, but if you have seen the drum and flute shaking the soul of the army, it will not be incredible. After...

Lei Gong's debut work is quite amazing. From this film, we can see that he has a strong control over ancient costume action films, which laid the foundation for the future shooting of [Gladiator] and [Kingdom of Heaven]. Each character seems to have jumped out of classical oil paintings. Coupled with the exquisite and beautiful use of light and shadow, it has become a rare...
