I really like this cold and silent style, and the narrative rhythm of the whole film is not bad. There was no dialogue during the robbery, but it was really wonderful. I personally think that in addition to the sharpshooter Jansen's look, Mattie's characterization is a classic, and the self-proclaimed "Hunter" is very appropriate.

There are four unsolved points in the film. One is what Vogel did. The film repeatedly hints at the year, but I am not familiar with the French background. The second is who the photos of women saved by Corey are. The third is that Vogel said that if Mattie's identity is revealed, Corey would not run. Does he know that Corey will cover him with his life? The fourth is the investigation of Mattie's files by the Director of the Interior Department.

When I watched it, I felt that the ending was a bit hurried, but when I think about it carefully, the threads are clear: Corey's boss caught the prison guard who sent the jewelry task, and Mattie pretended to be the stolen seller to meet—the ending was the time to come to the end. Such a clean shot is also in line with the charm of the whole film.

    The big screen review is over. The allusion to the title stems from fatalism. The continuation of "The Night Is Not Quiet" and "The Fight of Men". Melville's movie world view is still evident. No one has made crime movies like him anymore. It is not procrastination, but a more realistic pace. Gloomy environment, streamlined lines, indifferent people. Silent robbery of jewellery is a great shot. The surreal shot of the sharpshooter's appearance depicting the sinking wine sea is also a classic.

    1. The commercial film is also so lengthy, it is a bit boring to watch, there is no need to be so procrastinating, is this a French type of commercial film? 2. Jewelry clips, speechless confrontation, eye contact, mutual assistance, full tacit understanding, great love, exquisiteness and tension; 3. A fateful encounter is a foreshadowing of death. Three and a half.
