"Perfect" standard, non-standard cult.

"Plot compact"? Might as well watch Mulholland Drive.
"A test of human nature?" Try comparing "The Mist".
"Sophisticated design"? "Fermat's Room" is better than that.
"Full of cult?" "A Clockwork Orange" can be described as the pinnacle.
Not to mention horror, suspense, sci-fi.

However, I still like this movie very much, very few movies can create just the right atmosphere in a dull and repetitive scene - the rhythm is not fast and unsatisfactory, not loose or tight; there is moderate tension, and sufficient think. It neither innovates for innovation's sake, nor dissects for dissection's sake. This is the ability and idea that works after the 21st century are slowly disappearing. The human nature of everyone in the movie is real, and everyone has flesh and blood and personality. The screenwriter and director gave us a set of constant molds, and then changed the surrounding scenes to combine infinite possibilities. The combination of the known and the unknown makes the plot of the film really eager to watch, and the actors' excellent performances do not make the audience see the drama.

The end of the film is a perfect "unexpected, reasonable". That is to say, its logic is perfect. When we see an absurd result, we should not evaluate how absurd its conclusion looks, but should understand whether the logical derivation of each step is reasonable.

All in all, this is a must-see classic. Maybe it's only worth four stars for a single review of the film's ability; but if I were to recommend it, "The Frustration Fang" is a highly recommended file.

  • Quentin: Listen, we can't go climbing around in here.

    Holloway: Why not?

    Quentin: There's traps.

    Holloway: What do you mean traps?

    Quentin: Booby traps. I looked in the room down there, and something almost cut my head off.

  • Quentin: [talking to Holloway] You listen to me, woman. Every day I mop up after your bleeding heart. The only reason you even exist is because I keep you!. I know your type. No kids, no man to fuck you. So, you go around outraged, sticking your nose up other people's assholes. Sniffing their business.
