No longer fighting alone. Two feature films with a good reputation in the critics gave Kubrick a lot of fame in the independent film industry. During this time, he met an important "comrade-in-arms" who could help him solve financial problems. "——James Harris, and the two teamed up to create Harris Kubrick Production Company, [Killing] was the first film the company invested in. The US$200,000 from United American and the US$130,000 put together by Harris—this is the entire budget of [Killing]. Although it has far surpassed Kubrick’s previous movies, this one in Hollywood Can be regarded as a small cost production. [Killing] is Kubrick’s first film in which he is not in charge of photography. During the shooting, Kubrick and the photographer of the film (the senior Hollywood photographer Lucian Ballard) had many opinions. Kubrick is very dissatisfied with Ballard’s conservatism. The [Kill] born under the contradiction between tradition and innovation is somewhat special: on the one hand, it is a Hollywood genre film, on the other hand, it comes from a genre. The hand of a director with extreme emphasis on personal style. [Killing] was not favored by United American when it was released across the ages. It was only presented as a double-screening of [Bandido] (1956), but the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. As time goes by, [Killing] is gradually regarded as a classic in film noir. For Kubrick, [Killing] has other meanings: If Kubrick in the period of [Fear and Desire] and [Kiss of Killer] was still in the stage of accumulating the run-up, then [Killing] would Let Kubrick take off. Although the film's box office and audience reputation is still not ideal, its unique concept has attracted the attention of people in Hollywood circles. Kubrick himself has also emphasized that [Killing] is his "first film in the true sense" compared to the two previous "handsmanship". The film tells how a well-planned robbery killed the people involved. Despair, greed, desire...These are all elements that often appear in film noir. Kubrick added these characteristics to the people who participated in the robbery, those in order to fly away with his lover, to pay off debts, to treat their loved ones, or All the people who participated in the robbery to prove their abilities and even to pass the time died, and the justice of fate was its ruthlessness. [Killing] had a profound impact on later filmmakers. Not only did it set the benchmark for noir crime movies, Kubrick also left many intricate passages and designs for future generations to worship, such as the scene near the end of the film at the meeting place. The very short gunfight scene was transplanted by Quentin into [Falling Dog], and "robbing the bank with a clown mask" This idea was later expanded by Nolan, and [The Dark Knight] had a wonderful opening scene of a bank robbery. The bold narrative technique is also a topic that [Kill] is talked about. In the 1950s when the film was released, no one dared to break the conventional narrative technique like [Kill] to challenge the audience’s acceptance. Kubrick not only adopted In addition to the multi-line narrative, flashback was used extensively, and the narration allowed the whole incident to be presented from different angles. The climax of the robbery incident started with the commentary "They (referring to the horse racing) started to run!" Yes, but everyone involved in the plan is in a different location. In order to enable the audience to see every detail before and after the robbery, the film will continue to cut back to before the climax to show what happened to each participant. Some people say that Kubrick is a prophet. He has surpassed his time. Look at the Quentin and Guy Ritchies who are sought after forty years after the release of [Killing], at least in the "multi-line narrative." At one point, this is not wrong. Black humor In the chess room, Morris said to Johnny: "The gang and the artist are the same and admired, but deep down, people want to watch them fall from a height." What about the genre? The wicked always have their rewards," Kubrick gave his opinion through the mouth of the character. Although Johnny's arrest at the end was a bit surprising, but looking at the development of the movie, it was so logical that Johnny was eventually arrested. Whether it’s 15 minutes late due to traffic jams, a suitcase that cannot be locked, a puppy running to the suitcase, or a taxi that has not been called, they all push Johnny into the quagmire, as we saw in the first half of the movie He is a careful-thinking, calm and calm situation manipulator, but in the second half we discovered that he was completely incapable of parrying unknowable accidents. He had to proceed from the previous step by step and then compromise again and again: he still used the suitcase (because there was no time to change it) after discovering that there was a problem with the suitcase, and had to agree to the request for consignment (otherwise the airline would cancel the flight). See, it was a man who was played with by fate. In the last scene, he gave up running away and said to himself: "What's the difference then?".
