        Art castle

      as a representative of MGM's movie star, Eva • Gardner once known as "the world's most beautiful woman", she inspired generations of film Fan’s dream. Although this woman has a legendary love story with Frank Sinatra, her third husband after Mikai Ronnie and Artie Shaw, she still makes many celebrities heartache. She is a successful actor, although she always denies it. Her lively private life even receives more attention than...

      Lei Feng-style insurance investigator

      The beginning of "The Killers" (The Killers) is adapted from Hemingway's short story "The Killer." Adapting a novel into a movie is probably not too satisfying, because "a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlet", the director is only one of the readers, and it is impossible to take care of everyone's feelings and imaginations. At the beginning of the movie, I felt that the two murderers were...

      The artistic charm of this old movie transcends the times

      The artistic charm of this kind of old movie transcends the times. "Embroidered Scarf Masked Pirate" seems tacky. This translation doesn't know where it came from. "The Murderer" is even better. The movie is about how a strong man is caught by a femme fatale. At the mercy, the story of final death. Eva Gardner plays this woman. She is the first generation of sexy goddess in Hollywood. Monroe is her successor. Although it is a black and white movie, she can vaguely feel her attractive red lips...

      Several question marks of masked pirates with embroidered towels

      After watching the movie, there are a few questions that I can't understand, so I write them down below, and everyone is welcome to discuss them together:

      1. Before the actor Orr was killed, he heard footsteps outside the door, and he seemed to have a foreboding that someone would harm him. With his previous experience of "robbery", why didn't he watch out and evade or run away? Physical and boxer, why didn't he have the strength to fight...

      Death is terrible, and more terrible is that life is worse than death

      In 1927, Hemingway published a collection of novels "Men Without Women", which included his most famous short stories "Mountains Like White Elephants" and "The Killer":

      "Men Without Women" First Edition

      I used to like Hemingway's concise and restrained writing style very much. The more I chew, the more it tastes. If you write...

    • By Godfrey 2023-08-30 09:04:35

      Strictly speaking, the 1964 edition has nothing to do with Hemingway. Of course, this one only comes from the novel for the first ten minutes. After all, the novel is limited in length, and the adaptation needs to be expanded. I still prefer novels, but the expansion seems to be a bit of a continuation, thinking of Borges'...
