The Lady from Shanghai

By Damon 2022-12-16 12:04:41

second-rate film noir

"Miss Shanghai" assumes that the heroine is from China and can speak Chinese, interspersed with a lot of Chinatown scenes to add mysterious elements and exotic flavors. As a result, the Chinese that the heroine speaks is neither Mandarin nor Cantonese nor Chaoshan dialect, just open her mouth there casually. Just talking nonsense. . . Thinking of the fact that the guns in the business card "The Eagle Over London" were criticized by experts for not being historically true, the behavior of "Miss...

Miss Shanghai

One of the masterpieces written, directed and acted by the talented Orson Welles. It belongs to a typical noir film, with elements such as femme fatale, criminal murder, and human nature revealing. The first half is a romantic and relaxing scene film + extramarital affair, and the second half suddenly changes his face and reveals his fierceness. The narrative style is very strange, and the logic of the story and shots is a bit rushed and not clear enough. The shootout at the amusement park at...

The 1947 film, Quan regards it as a landscape and the humanities documentary of that year.

Spoiler alert

"Citizen Kane" in 1941 and "The Ambersons" in 1942 were both commercial failures, which made Wilson banned from filming throughout World War II until "Miss Shanghai" in 1947, which can actually be felt from the film. Wilson's intense sadness and sincerity. Unfortunately, before "Miss Shanghai" was released, Wilson left Hollywood.
This film still has Wilson's strong shooting style, subjective camera lens, ingenious structural design, representational psychological description, etc.,...

Movie Review: Miss Shanghai

7.5 points. I should be watching the abridged version, and I told such a story in less than 90 minutes. The director is really good. But I don't like this practice of narrating at every turn. It might have been relatively new at the time, but now it seems that it has been abused. Several men thought it was the mantis catching the cicada, but unfortunately, the oriole was behind, and everyone was tricked by the beautiful woman. In fact, I think it will be more exciting for the female pig to...

The story is divided into three stages, the beginning and the end are very abstract, the murder in the middle is a noir style, similar to the images of carefully designed murders in Hitchcock's films. The beginning of the sailing trip reminded me of Mr. Akadin, a tropical, abstract conversation. The image in the ending mirror is amazing, and it is estimated that Lao Du was inspired to use it directly in "Dark Flower". Hayworth speaks Cantonese. Although Hayworth is not very good-looking, he...

In addition to the classic mirror maze passage, dating in the aquarium also deeply moved me. The early movies are so beautiful, solid scripts, perfect actors, and always fresh exploration of...

Rita Hayworth doesn't look as smart as Barbara Stanwyck, but she has such a nice voice. ....

Sorry, I haven't seen Citizen Kane, I didn't find the movie interesting, and I think it's a false equation that making a great Citizen Kane equals every other movie that's been...

In the end, the multi-faceted murder scene is the real finishing touch. The heroine can also speak Cantonese, which is...
