1. Based on the adaptation of Edward Albee's absurd drama of the same name, how panicked the big studios before New Hollywood are. Such films have been shot so much. You must know that Warren Beatty begs grandpa to tell grandma. The budget of Bonnie and Clyde was about 1/3 of the film. 2. As a drama adaptation work, the effort to visualize the film can be said to be extremely successful: extreme emotional quarrels rendered by a large number of close-ups; memories of the sudden addition of his father's voice during a boxing match with his father and other similar sound paintings The counterpoint structure; and the increasing number of moving lenses and elevation lenses in the half of the film even accentuates the absurd meaning in the film, especially in the passages where Martha dances. 3. I spent the first 100 minutes boringly, but the last 15 minutes caught my emotions tightly. After hearing the death of her fantasy son, Martha lay down and wept bitterly, and the shot was cut from the close-up of the previous fierce quarrel to the middle shot. The power of the film's realist aesthetics is so powerful that it breaks the double between the on-screen and off-screen beyond the close-up. The boundaries of illusion make the people in the film and the audience are moved by the fantasy of the people in the film. 4. Martha’s pronunciation sounds like Mother in the film. When George was strangled by Martha and his father by killing Martha and his father in the novel, he could only kill them in the same way. The son in fantasy; when Martha asked about the telegram that George had sent his son's death, he said I ate (hate) it, which clearly proved his emotions. 5. After this film, the work of director Mike Nicoles a year later is the same famous "Graduate". If you want to come to the middle-class life that he feels so empty and hopeless, young people can only solve it by fleeing. Just where should I escape?

Reminds me of "The Killing," which also uses two couples to create great drama in small scenes. In contrast, the drama of "Killing" is much more restrained, because the language violence of this film is as sharp as a knife, the characters' emotions are ups and downs, and the relationship between enemies and friends is loose and relaxed. What is slightly lacking is the supporting actress, who has nothing outstanding in front of the three outstanding characters except for silly words.

Confinement (Huis Clos): "So this is hell. I never imagined that... in your impression, there should be brimstone, roaring fires, and iron bars for ironing people... Ah! What a joke! No need for iron bars, hell, it's others (l'enfer, c'est les Autres)."

George: So you get testy, naturally, don't worry about it! Anybody who comes here ends up getting testy, it's expected. Don't be upset.
Nick: I'm not upset.
George: You're testy.
Nick: Yes.

George: Martha is 108... years old. She weighs somewhat more than that.
