Knock on my door.

This film was originally a work made by director Martin Scorsese for the graduation assessment. But later, with more and more ideas, the space continued to increase, and new ideas were constantly determined, and finally became the feature-length debut film directed by Martin Scorsese. During the four years of filming on and off, the name changed several times, "Bring Your Dance Partner" and "This Film Will Save Your Marriage". In 1967, the film increased in length and was named "What I said first" until The 1969 film was titled "Who's Knocking on My Door?" ". Mardik Martin, who was the assistant director of the film, said: "This film was made for many years, and many things changed in the middle. Because the cost budget of the film was very low, almost no budget, so it looked like a movie. Family movie." Since it is a piece of film, it is naturally not great, but the technically young director Martin Scorsese exudes his unique style in it. Harvey Keitel's official job at the time was a court stenographer, while he was studying acting at the academy. Like many actors, he saw an advertisement in a magazine that students of the film school wanted to hire actors for their graduation work, so he went to the production crew. Harvey Keitel's own temperament is as assistant director Mardik Martin said: "He feels a lot like director Martin Scorsese, especially when it comes to religious ceremonies. But Harvey is an actor, and he is expressive from the outside. The consciousness, the expression is melancholy and confused .Martin is a very careful observer, hiding in the corner to find what he wants." In fact, from one side, we can understand why Martin Scorsese asked Harvey Keitel to be the hero of this film. In the beginning, Martin Scorsese's work for graduation had a taste of homework, but also very authentic self-expression. If possible, Martin Scorsese will be the male lead in his graduation production. Looking at it this way, the director is obviously looking for a very suitable actor, an actor who is very suitable to express the director's voice. In this way, Harvey Keitel and Martin Scorsese are very similar, and it makes sense. In a conversation with Harvey Keitel, he mentioned his relationship with Martin Director Scorsese's acquaintance: "When Marty and I were in the same room, gradually, we each discovered that we had a lot in common with each other, and we were like 'love at first sight', a little bit of a feeling of seeing each other too late. Once we enter a certain journey, there is always Someone is there to help you along the way." In Who's Knocking on My Door? During the filming of ", Harvey Keitel left a deep impression on the director and everyone, saying that he was a good person. Because low-budget films do not have the financial ability to hire actors for a long time, they are very afraid of actors running away in the middle, but Harvey Keitel has made everyone feel at ease. I have watched "Who's Knocking on My Door?" , was very surprised by Harvey Keitel's performance! Unexpectedly, he is still a student studying acting, and he is a part-time performer for the crew. It is the first time that he can perform so well as the starring role! I was really surprised. "Who is knocking on my door? ” This film is still very romantic in general. It's about Harvey Keitel's character JR, a street hooligan who has nothing to do, and lives a messy life with his good buddies. Later, JR fell in love with a girl and thought about it. He was very concerned about the difference between 'girl' and 'girl', and hoped that the girl he liked would be pure and flawless. But this girl was raped by her ex-boyfriend. JR felt conflicted and felt that the girl was lying. After a while, JR couldn't help but miss the girl again and said that he forgave her. The girl was upset because it wasn't the girl's fault that she was raped. The movie ends when things don't work out. There are many interesting life scenes of him and his good friends in the middle of the plot. Some of these performances. JR and his buddy got into an argument on the way and were actually kicked out of the car. He crossed the road without hesitation, stood on the safety island, looked into the distance with a stubborn expression, but immediately he couldn't help but feel wronged, tears rolled in his eyes, and followed his buddy's car back to make peace with him. Just got back into the car. The performance here is very exciting, in fact, it is a momentary mood, stubbornness is followed by grievance, and it is excessively smooth and natural. I think everyone has that experience, so seeing Harvey Keitel perform like this feels real. JR Hugs and kisses with girls, on the bed in grandma's room. He suddenly stopped intimate movements, the girl asked him what was wrong, he said nothing, the girl continued to ask why it stopped? He looked away without saying a word, and then said, "I want to do that... There is no reason... Do you mind?" Then he looked at the girl intently. The girl agreed, but he stopped after a while and insisted that he didn't want to do it. He hesitated, not knowing how to say what was in his head. In fact, he is not a conservative person, and often has one night stands with chicks. The reason he really loves that girl, so he can't do anything. when JR After knowing that the girl was not a virgin, he was very confused and took advantage of alcohol to ease his worries. In the middle of the night, I got drunk and returned to my residence, standing alone against the wall in the corridor, sad color painted all over my face, gloomy and heavy. Then he sat down against the wall, holding his knees with his hands, the love in his heart drenched him in bitter water. This kind of emotional drama, full of passion and drama in the performance, has greatly infected me as a viewer. This corrects the previous perception of Harvey Keitel, he is a very good actor. What surprised me most was that he was a student studying acting at the time. From Harevy Keitel, I just feel that as the age grows, the emotion that the actor gives to the character will become more and more natural, more and more inner, and sometimes you can't even feel it, but it really exists, and It is processed by art. Because of the limited funding for this film, the choice of scenes was very embarrassing. The whole film was shot in some people's homes, corridors, small bars, rooftops of buildings, and small churches in the community. Even so, it's interesting when you know some of them. When shooting a scene where several people are fighting on the street, all members of the crew must be on the highest level of vigilance, because there are real gangsters on the street. If they also join the fighting team, it will be a big trouble. Some of the interior scenes were shot in part at Martin Scorsese's grandma's house. The assistant director said everyone had to finish filming before grandma came home. Grandma would go crazy if she saw that the walls were covered with electrical wires because of the filming. I'm imagining the situation at that time, a group of young people just for a pure purpose, trying all kinds of ways, how many fun things there are. I really want to see what director Martin's grandma thinks of their group of kids. Ha ha. In the various shots of the film, it's clear how director Martin Scorsese shot the characters' continuous dialogue. We can always see many movies and TV dramas, two or more people have wonderful dialogues, but the camera is very rigid, and the two cannot achieve the effect of complementing each other. The film, especially the dialogue between the hero and heroine in the ferry waiting room, is handled very vividly. Set up the lens in all directions, and deal with it according to the specific situation. Perhaps because the era was in the mid-1960s, it seemed that this approach was very new at the time. One of the reasons why this film raised my interest and then reached the level of liking is Harvey Keitel's performance, and then the scene with The Doors' "The End" in the background. This part was shot in the Netherlands in 1969, four years after the filming was completed. According to the requirements of the publisher at the time, some erotic shots were needed to increase the appeal. In doing so, this film has the possibility of being released. As a creator with independent thinking, being asked such a request, I think director Martin must have a very complicated mood at that time. But no matter what, he did it again, and he did a great job! In this scene, The Doors' "The End" should be the live version of San Francisco in 1968, the one where Jim Morrison sings the lyric. In response to such a shocking song, the camera switched, swayed, and rotated between JR and the girls, creating a cyclic, endless sense of confusion. It depicts the bodies of men and women as beautiful that cannot be underestimated, and at the same time, with the repression of resistance but unable to refuse depravity. At the moment when all the poker cards collapsed and played, everything stopped and was gone, as if the dust of memory had not left behind. Although it is an erotic shot, Lust doesn't get close to it at all. The style of the whole paragraph is very tough and sensible. I love this movie, it has a special feeling. I love Harvey Keitel, an old actor, but I've never seen him so young and so passionate. Also excited that he was not a full-time actor at the time, but he acted very well. Love this film, and also because of Martin Scorsese director. I like the early works of director Martin very much. At that time, he had a normal heart as a director, observing life and recording life. "Who is knocking on my door? "Although it is not a successful masterpiece, there are too many flashes in it, and it indirectly records the colorful life around him and the friends of the crew.
