    greedy

    This is a classic movie, a classic in the classics. I have watched every classic movie more than three times, and I have a new understanding every time I watch it.
    I heard that this movie has a good reputation, so I went to the cinema to watch it the first weekend it was released. This movie is...

    The work of Weeping Blood, the location scenes are all real shots, the nine-hour original version was brutally cut by Scissorhands, and more than two-thirds of it was cut. Fortunately, the cuts are concentrated on branch lines and lengthy character introductions, and the main line is basically retained. The 1999 four-hour "reconstructed version" uses a large number of still photos taken on-site to provide more complete information for the stitching plot, but in terms of its fit with the original work, there is finally regret; perhaps read the original work "McTiger "Can better understand the "director's cut version". The lens is rich in language and impressive points: 1. The teeth, blood, and birds are colored golden. These three are the main clues throughout the film-the sudden turn of the dental work after the loss; the inevitable death; the rescue of the bird After the marriage, the birds in the cage become trapped animals (the eyes of the cat coveting the birds when the male second leaves, the metaphor it refers to), and the birds are finally released to freedom. 2. The reincarnation of the accordion; 3. The funeral procession outside the window at the wedding as a metaphor for misfortune (the depth-of-field lens is used well); 4. The juxtaposition of the other two branches with different directions; 5. The soul is corrupted by money; 6. Group portrait The difference in personality and the subtle interpretation of the director benefited from the director's all-round talent.

    Some places are still very good, especially the contrasting techniques, the characterization and transformation of the characters, and the gold and blood embellished from the beginning. However, in the nearly four-hour movie, one or two hours are filled in stills, plus the video that is not clear enough, the viewing effect is greatly reduced. The original version is a 9-hour movie. If there is a high-definition version, I will definitely watch it again.

    Title card: I never truckled; I never took off the hat to Fashion and held it out for pennies. By God, I told them the truth. They liked it or they didn't like it. What had that to do with me? I told them the truth; I knew it for the truth then, and I know it for the truth now. FRANK NORRIS.
