Pure man's world

Without women, men are purer. Unlike other similar movies in China, the hero always drags on the beauties, and good and evil are always distinct. In this film, there is neither beauty nor vaguely presents humanity.
What I like more is that the first half is not divided, more tense and smooth, and for the 30-minute no-dialog bank robbing scene that everyone praises, because I am not familiar with the editing, I don’t feel too cold, and it feels a bit verbose, more like a toilet window. Whether it is easy to enter such a loophole is too obvious, but the most memorable thing is the surrealist method used by the first appearance of the expelled police officer to thoroughly explain the situation.

    Melville draws a circle that has all the characters jumping down, contradictory colored Noir. In the film, there are two robbery cases that can force the viewers to breathe and feel nervous: one is Dassin's Rififi, and the other is this.

    The driving force for watching this type of film lies in the "characters", so the original intention is to run towards Alain Delon. I didn't expect the sniper to assemble the sniper rifle at the scene of the robbery. It was very elegant, and he was Mr. "Z" in the "Focus News" I watched some time ago, which is also an interesting coincidence. The narration of the sniper's character history is very clever (the characters are drawn from nightmares, so that the characters are low-key but have super professional knowledge. At the end of the film, the characters give up the stolen money, selflessly help the protagonist, and at the same time, the characters achieve a kind of "release" construction closed loop). If it wasn't for Alain Delon who played the leading role and held the audience, I would have no heart for a sniper to "usurp the throne". Weigao and Currie determined that the accomplices were too gay. First, they gave a close-up of the whole body, and then each of them gave a close-up of their face. At the same time, the two smiled ambiguous, and Weigao was still lighting a cigarette. "Cold and silent" seems to be the style of a large number of movies in the 1970s. Unfortunately, it is not particularly scary and suspenseful. This kind of drama should still pay attention to the audience's experience. Using wine to describe it like a martini, high-end but not good.

    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.
