      anti-genre film noir

      It is finally an "anti-genre" film noir, directed by Altman, which is different from the wanton subversion and deconstruction of film noir by European directors (however ironically, film noir originated in Europe and the United States was ridiculed and deconstructed by European directors. ), American directors are always unable to stay away from the elements of commercial entertainment. Under the influence of the new wave, the younger generation of Hollywood has integrated new wave...

      more desperate than the original novel

      Whether or not to read the original novel before watching this movie is definitely a Hamlet-esque question. Because if you have read the original novel before, then let me tell you, this movie has all adapted the storyline (especially the deleted characters), the background of the era, and the ending in the original novel. If you are a fan of the original novel, I don't think you will like it. If you haven't read the original novel before this, I think you will be confused. Because the movie...

      No one invents a way to say goodbye to the police

      When cutting scenes with each other, different characters have different soundtracks. It doesn’t matter what you say, the soundtrack can’t be interrupted, as long as the soundtrack is not used very often. This is what Altman and PTA know. It’s very similar to “The Trial”, but it’s not sudden. The involvement of the event is to first explain the character's environment, then intersect with a part of the core event (sending friends), and then suddenly get involved and be tortured by all...

      to say goodbye is to die a little

      Probably because Zhuyu is in the front, there are not many successful examples of good novels being turned into movies. Raymond Chandler's "The Long Goodbye" is too famous. I didn't have high expectations for the film, but I found out that the director was Robert Altman, and Jorge used to like his dark humorous Korean war film "M·A· S·H".

      The story of the 1950s in the novel was transplanted by the director to the background of the 1970s, very hippie....

      [Marlow wakes up, already in the bizarre 1970s. ] Indeed, the director seems to use this cat-loving detective who seeks the truth in his own way on the edge of darkness to describe the psychedelic chaos of the 1970s. The jazzy and sad theme song is quite consistent with the title of the...

      (The version I saw) The frame is so close to the face that it seems to have been cropped. The characters and cats and dogs are very cute, but they fall asleep. ....

      The script is a major subversion of the original. Marlowe sticks to his hands, often talking to himself, and his sentimental and eccentric character is very similar to the characters in Godard's films. The zoom lens deepens the psychedelic style of the...

      The adaptation is full of daring. Marlowe isn't the temperament in the original either, but I don't hate it. But when the ending music plays, the so-called "long goodbye" sadness is completely...

      The zoom lens makes people vomit... But there are still bright spots, such as the naked girl next door.... For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger who plays a gangster while undressing and showing off his...
