murder

In 1949, post-war Vienna was almost in ruins. On the surface, this big city is jointly managed by the United States, Britain, France and Russia. In fact, there are countless gang members and various black market transactions in the underground. Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton), a second-rate detective novelist in the American West, went bankrupt and came here to join his old friend Harry Rhyme (Orson Welles), only to find that he had gone out of business. Dead in a car accident, Holly Martins made...

Some people say that there is such a black and white film, what else needs to be done in color. Dim Vienna underground waterways, unusually skewed shots, and close-ups of everyone's faces. If a certain film can make you vaguely remember certain scenes and certain people in the future, then at least this film will not be too bad, and it may even be a classic, whether it is a classic in the eyes of the public or just a classic for yourself . By the way, to add Orson Welles, what could make me...

Review: Hell Above Heaven Below

Revisiting the 2015 4k restored Blu-ray released by Studio Canal, a classic in the DVD era, I watched the Blu-ray with a score of 8.5, and the vienna tour showed a comparison of 14 shooting scenes between the past and the present (1948 vs 2010). Scenography, Editing, Art/Set, Cinematography Stunning, Production Better than I could have imagined from watching the movie, changed to 9.1 out of 5 stars

1. This is a great popular suspense drama. A large number of oblique lenses, a metaphor...

I watched the third best film "The Third Man" at the Cannes Film Festival tonight. This film was filmed during World War II. The smoke of the war had just dissipated, but for Vienna, a city that symbolizes the high civilization of Europe, In the long dark night, I suddenly found that the traumatic memories left by the war are far more unbearable than the stings caused by bombs and gunpowder. Capitalism and socialism, two different and antagonistic ideologies, find common interests here. In...

third person

I saw this film when I was very young, and I was deeply impressed by the biggest suspense of the film. At the time, I only knew that it was a suspense film. Since this film no longer exists for me, it seems that there is no need to watch it again. After reading the detailed introduction, I found out that I missed too many things, so I felt the need for tutoring.

American popular fiction writer Holly Martin came to Vienna to make a living at the invitation of his best friend Harry...

The composition is rigorous, the lighting is precise, and the pictures are used to shape characters, create suspense, and set off the atmosphere. Any screenshot is a wonderful photograph. Love and friendship seek the truth together, the dilemma between justice and morality. The civet cat changing the prince bridge section has been cited countless times in the future. Orson Welles' villain is full of tension and unforgettable. The Ferris wheel dialogue and the escape from the sewer are quite...

The film is set in Vienna after the war in 1949. It tells the story of an American detective novelist who finds out that his old friend has been murdered, so he goes to track down the real murderer and find third-party witnesses. This film concentrates a lot of elements that can cause conflicts and create plots, such as murder, politics, suspense, love, friendship, morality, loyalty, betrayal, etc. It is also a classic in terms of atmosphere creation. The photography and lighting of the film...

Anna: "I don't want him anymore, I don't want to see him, I don't want to hear him, but he's still a part of my life, that's a fact. I don't want to do anything to hurt him."; Orson Welles is just amazing…...

20210312 @English Masters Exhibition Holly, who was wrapped in various ideological trends after the war, finally determined her belief in a dilemma and was able to stand in the light and shadow of the sewers. This illusory sense of accomplishment was certainly not enough for him to convince himself, so he had to get the approval of his sweetheart, and this moment was his last gamble. So we followed Anna in the fixed camera to get closer to the final answer. The isochronism here magnifies the anx
