Hunting for humanity and lion heart in the dark

One of my ten best collection films, recommended as a classic as a teenager, this view has not changed so far. The lack of promotion and publicity of this film may have affected its popularity. The connotation of the film covers the wonderful depiction of the collision of the external world and soul sparks, and it surpasses its entertainment. It cannot be said that the status of this film has been greatly affected. Impact.

This is a masterpiece of courage, human and animal nature, survival and killing, insight into the living space of destiny, and the moment of life and death. Just like the brave spirit of resistance in the world of Hemingway's novels "The Old Man and the Sea", "The Green Hills of Africa", and "The Snow of Kilimanjaro"; or the kind that exists in Melville's Moby Dick The twists and perseverances, both humans and animals leave an indelible impression; "Night Ghost" has the same description of the depths of the soul, the lion and the human show each other the world of hunting, this is not the game but the struggle and strategy of survival, this This atmosphere puts a dark windbreaker on the movie, how can the protagonist overcome fear without a brave heart!

The tacit cooperation of the characters also adds to the film. The not-so-famous Varen Kimmer and the always calm Mike Douglas, and the sparks of resonance between each other deepen the tense suspense, whether it is external actions or internal actions. The play has tied their destiny together. Famous director Mike Mann’s classic work "Stealing the Fire" has made Robert De Niro and Al Pacino an excellent male rivalry classic. Warren Kimmer also participated but the light was covered by those two great actors. Living. But the best Warren Kimmer performance in "Dark Ghost" is also shown for us, and the cooperation with Douglas is second only to the classics of De Niro and Pacino. Douglas is undoubtedly the best performing actor in "Dark Phantom". His innate Confucian temperament and demeanor coupled with brave and composure wisdom, to a large extent, brought to life the character image of Warren Kimmer and hunted lions. The eyes staring in the dark bring us wonderful imagination.

The style of the movie is both realistic and contains tension of suspense. The plot is tense and the characters are rich in flesh and blood. The lion, as the implicit protagonist, promotes the triangular relationship between man, nature and animals, which is profound and contagious. The rendering of the film environment and the photography techniques are excellent. This is a very careful movie that requires you to watch it carefully. In my world, it is a classic! Shooting such a movie chasing a lion in the drum with an implied voice-over, accurately grasping the theme of the ability to switch roles affects the success or failure of the film. The director captured the opposing hunting world, and all life and death destiny changes were awe-inspiring. In awe. The courage and courage of the film is what our existing world lacks.

    Maybe it's because the film is a bit old. After the audience finished watching it calmly, the scenery in Africa is really good.

    I mustered up the courage to watch "Phantom of the Night" again, and it was not scary at all. . I was frightened at first, and I have always had a shadow until now

The Ghost and the Darkness quotes

  • Nigel: Patterson the lion killer. I do wish I had been here for the hunt.

    John Patterson: No, you don't.

  • Samuel: [narrating] The men called them the Ghost and the Darkness. There were two of them, and that had never happened before because man-eaters are always alone. They owned the night but they also attacked in daylight. Alone or together. Without fear or reason. Some thought they were not lions at all, but the spirits of dead medicine men come back to spread madness. Or they were the devil sent to stop the white man from owning the world. I believed this... that they were evil. What better ground for evil to walk than Tsavo? Because this is what the word Tsavo means; "a place of slaughter".
