That thing between men~

If someone says that Jean-Pierre Melville is not the greatest French director in the 70s, I can beat people!
"Red Circle" tells the story of four men, three thieves, and one policeman. The three thieves are friendly, the police are despicable. Forgive me for saying that, but if you watch the movie well and say that Mattei is not mean, then you are mean enough~
a man just released from prison helped another man who just came out of prison, this kind of thing What does it explain? In addition to stating that the two were born to be thieves, it also shows that this movie is destined to be very exciting, plus a dismissal policeman who can even hit the bullseye from 10 meters away without holding a glass. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i forgot that there is that mean policeman with three expensive cats (well, i forgot on purpose). These men get together, so what wonderful thing does not happen?
So honor, dignity, commitment, morality and justice were converted between the four men!
——Do you want to see what is more precious than the jewelry you just got, let our sharpshooter Jansen tell you: "dignity". Corey's call and the trust of his partners have allowed a lost person who has been drinking all the time to find his vitality as a man again. This is something that no precious jewels can replace.
——Do you want to see what is more important than your own life, then let Vogel, the prisoner escaped, tell you: "morality". Corey saved him, so he had to use his own life to warn and protect Corey, even if he died with him in the end, it was just life, there was nothing to complain about.
——What else do you want to see? I'm not going to talk about it, just look at it for yourself, slacker.
As for Mattei, I really don't know that in order to make an informant speak, the lives of other innocent people can be sacrificed, even if not intentionally~ I really don't know. He is a policeman. Of course he can catch criminals who escape from his own hands. He can catch the thief who steals jewellery, but it is not right to use any means. The police are no exception. Would you like to give some professionalism?~
This is a photo taken by a man. The movies that men watch, "Lone Killer" is no exception. A man’s calmness is sometimes heavier than a mountain. Because I have so many things on my back, even if it’s just a peaceful meeting, even if it’s just a thief, it won’t ruin my heart~
In fact, after watching the movie, there is still a small voice in my heart that has been scratching me, that is-will the invention of "audio film" be a mistake for Jean-Pierre Melville? In addition to the lack of dialogue in the first 10 minutes of "Lone Killer", there is no one speaking for nearly 40 minutes in this film. Of course, our three protagonists were busy stealing things at the time, do you want to I haven't spoken for so long, brother~
But, I love the plot and image processing of this large episode! I think the director's goal is really achieved.
Killing two people within one meter and shooting the bullseye within 30 meters are completely different things. The former is amateur and the latter is professional.

PS-These four actors are very thunderous, but I think the most thunderous is Mattei's actor Bourvil, the painter in "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth". I was completely impressed by his performance skills.

Le Cercle Rouge quotes

  • Le chef de la police: And don't forget: All guilty.

    Le Commissaire Mattei: Even policemen?

    Le chef de la police: All men, Mr. Mattei

  • Vogel: Between shooting two men six feet away and hitting a target at 100 feet there's a certain difference. It's the difference between an amateur and a professional. And, despite all appearances, I'm not professional.
