Ahem, I watched "The Murderer Is M" twice separately. I was looking for it for its "banned film" title. It was originally 117 minutes, but it was deleted to 96 minutes. In minutes, it is basically considered to have watched the entire film. After watching it, one word: "Like!"

I have to admit that because of my prejudice against the age, I must have missed countless good films. Now that I have watched this film, I have deeply realized: a good film, yes No borders, no age! Even if it is a 1931 movie, according to the netizen "Fengyue", it is a movie older than his grandfather, but the narrative is very complete, there is no prosperous procrastination, although it is a thriller, it always reflects Germany. People's unique cold humor, although full of laughter, but in terms of depth of thought, it is not frivolous, and the brilliant place can be seen everywhere. For example, when the loli are killed, they do not directly show on the screen how the killer kills the victim. , but through the ball that rolled out of the grass weakly, and the balloon dolls wrapped around the wires fluttered in the wind. Seeing these audiences already understood that Loli had been killed, and left room for imagination. Also, when the director was shooting the murderer, he didn't even shoot. When the murderer's unique whistle sounded, the hearts of the moviegoers would tighten. This is really wonderful and impressive. And when the murderer wanted to kill the last loli, the man who was lying in ambush in the corner, in order not to scare the snakes and save the girl, came up with the idea. When he drew M on his hand, I thought he wanted to remember him. of a feature in order to capture it. As a result, when the murderer was slapped heavily: "Hey, you XX, it's shameful to throw garbage everywhere" The murderer and I were both stunned by this sudden slap, but when the camera turned, we saw the murderer's back. When I saw the letter M on it, it dawned on me. Happy smile. Of course, the best part was when the murderer was caught in the basement. At this time, the camera slowly turned to the people sitting opposite, sitting sullenly and quietly, waiting for the murderer to be given the most powerful trial by the private court. The grand scene gives a silent shock.

In this film, the only person who can remember the face is this murderer. His acting skills are really good. "There is a devil living in my heart, he follows me all the time, and I can't control myself." He opened his eyes in fear, and his body language was forceful and helpless, exaggerating the face of a mental patient but just right. Yes, who will be a born pure angel, in fact, each of us is another M, from the moment we are born, we are constantly taught to self-control, the dark shadow inside is suppressed by us in the deepest place. Each of us is ashamed of him, but it doesn't mean that the people in the movie who are sitting in danger and us in front of the screen have never had terrible thoughts, never been hideous, and never been controlled by the dark shadow inside. . We are all black demons who came to the world just to play the role of pure angels once.
