      Jo Nesbø and his Harry Hole series

      (There is no spoiler in this article)

      Europeans generally like to read crime mystery novels. I remember that it was the height of summer last July, and my boss was going to take a vacation to the Côte d’Azur. Before leaving, he insisted that I recommend a “bloody and exciting” suspense novel to her so that she could enjoy reading while sunbathing on the beach. The one I recommended to her at the time was The Snowman by Norwegian author Jo Nesbø. Reading a story about a serial murderer...

      8-point trailer, 4-point movie

      It feels great, but the next second will make you dumbfounded

      "Snowman" is a good novel, but the movie is a waste of such a good story and the figure of Fasha.

      The first snow falls, the snowman appears, the nightmare returns


      The snowman of the Nordic hard-line reasoning god Yu Nesbo is a work of rigorous reasoning, distinctive characters, and sophisticated layout. It is not so much a mystery novel, it is more appropriate to say that he is a literary work. But it is such a good work that has been changed into a movie that is definitely not good, which proves once again that a good novel can only change a bad movie. As a...

      Chairman Mao said that the scenery of the Northland is thousands of miles, icebergs, and snow drifts! Chairman Mao has never been to Northland, but the scenery of Northland he portrayed is not bad at all! Just watch this movie, I want to give it five stars, the photography is very good, the music is pretty good, and it even makes me feel like a wilderness hunter! I haven't read the original novel, because I really don't have time to read the novel. I have watched the movie once, but there...

      The narration of the novel has used a film-like technique to create a good atmosphere: the strange mold behind the wall in the home, the subtle attitude of the mold handlers, the snowman who appeared on the scene of the murder in various forms, and the villain always monitors Henry's With every move, the plot is intertwined, and the clue points to one place and ushered in a reversal...

      There are too many clues ahead, including the bloody death scene and the strange snowman symbol. It turned out to be all mysteries. The ending hastily ended. The way the murderer ended is even more ridiculous. The screenwriter has a great responsibility for this, while the director It seems that he is only dedicated to creating an environment of ice and snow, the rest is like the rhythm, and the characters are out of control. Unfortunately, Fa Shark has a self-struggling expression on his...

    Evaluation action

    Although the film is adapted from the best-selling book by Yu Nesbo, the film does not have a happy soul in such a snow-covered sinful land. This is also the most disappointing place for director Tomas'Sputte' Alfredson. (Comment on "Variety") 
    "The Snowman" is a thriller that can be watched, and the pictures are rather gloomy. The film referred to a bunch of good movies, but it turned out to be a dull and pale imitation. ("Guardian"...
