Fortunately, this movie describes a very rich and complex interpersonal relationship, not only profound, but also very smooth and harmonious, like a symphonic music. Although there are many musical elements, the organization is subtle and well-developed.
I think the theme of this movie is love and hurt. There are 3 pairs of characters around this theme: The first pair is the liar Fei Bin and his girlfriend who works in the nightclub. Fei Bin Ming Ming loves girls deeply, but Involuntarily hurt her again and again. You will feel helpless after reading this story. The happiness Fabin wants to give to the girl and the girl’s wish are misplaced, causing them to love each other exhaustedly, just like a girl said. , She wanted to hug him, but he closed the door behind him. Even at the end, he felt that the only thing he could do was to use his life to exchange a bounty for the girl, and the two people struggled like abusive each other, which really abused the viewer's heart. Let me mention Gene Tierney, the girl's actor, a very beautiful and very unfortunate actress. My "Charming Movie Girl" Dou Lieli accepted her. Although she can't talk about amazing acting skills, the elegance and born-out temperament of her true colors are very fascinating. I think her most beautiful character is another film noir masterpiece, "Lorna's Secret". It is so beautiful as a dream, and Dana Michaels is fascinated by a portrait. I always think Gene's face is like Kate Moss, the same sparse blond hair, the same high cheekbones and deep set cheeks, especially the alienated eyes. In fact, her play is quite wide. For example, Liu Bieqian's "Heaven can wait" plays a charming southern chick, and "The Ghost and the Undead" is also a very good ghost movie.
The second pair is the bar owner and his wife Helen. Helen's setting is the most typical femme fatale, strong, shrewd, hateful, and born to break the heart of a man who loves her. Although the bar owner described the wretched old traitor as a giant slippery and pushed Fabin to a dead end, he was obsessed with this woman. Whether it was sending a precious gift or being so jealous that he had to use the most extreme means to get rid of his doubtful little white face, when threats and pleadings could not be exchanged for this woman's heart, he even took his own life. I have to say that this pair of British actors played so well. The two clever men fought secretly and tit-for-tat. Under the dim light and shadow of the small office of the bar, several of their rival scenes were very gloomy and depressed. Begging a woman, there is infinite sadness in the horror. I have to sigh that King Kong really died of beautiful women.
The third pair is the father of classical wrestling and the son of the triad boss. The same is love and hurt, the father is obsessed with classical aesthetics, and the son is chasing money. It's the same deep love for each other, and the same hurt each other. The father's tragic last stop and the son's last scene, the two talents were relieved, let us sigh. Why do we have to let go of our cheap self-esteem to communicate and restore it when we are about to lose it.
In addition to these three main pairs of relationships, a group of interpersonal relationships are also derived, such as the contest between old wrestlers and new wrestlers, and the intrigue between businessmen, such as the different reactions of different people encountered in the streets of London in Fabin's desperate night. And mentality, each is very fresh and plump. Like all noir films, this film also has an overwhelming sense of fate. No matter how smart and hard Fabin is, he can't escape the vicious circle of his own destiny. Even if he pulls away, he doesn't know when and where to see. His fate has always pushed him to ruin. The brilliance of this script also lies in the fact that it does not rely on a core plot to promote. Several groups of relationships are mutually driven in parallel. The fate of all people is a tragedy, and these people are also the reasons for the tragedies of others. Even at the end, there is still an amazing turning point, which is applauded.
