The shot begins with a pair of high-contrast eyes. The dark eyelashes caused the eyelids to open and close heavily, waiting for the flamboyant music behind him to return to tranquility.

And as a British director graduated from Cambridge, Mike Neville is known for directing soft line works. There are "Four Weddings and a Funeral" before, and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" later. The style of this film is more Like a life movie, it's not surprising. Compared with those fringe hero myths full of restlessness, this film may represent a deep deconstruction; although strictly speaking, it is difficult to be classified as a "classic" in film history, but it insists on a gentle quality, It is still quite different, at least there is no exaggeration, no miracles here, and some are just white under the pressure and unwilling to be pale.

There is no "epic" flavor of "The Godfather", "Once Upon a Time in America", etc., nor the will and courage of some directors to aestheticize black itself.
