Still a country dream

The film is nearly two hours long, and it made me feel very sad all the way. The fate of the doomed criminals has made my heart tangled. Of course, this film is very good, but it is so uncomfortable for me to watch, I can only give it three stars. Star Heston is always too serious, just like the sheriff commissioner in the film. It's fair, but I don't like it.

The most moving part of the film is that it shows the softness of each criminal. Except Except for the hard-hearted private detective who was killed first, everyone else has their own kindness and softness. They seem to be poor little animals, with their own weakness in personality, struggling to the death in the sinful city of the city. In the jungle, you can't control your own destiny.

Like outside the whirlpool, I see the memory of the lost country life in it. The title of the film, Asphalt Jungle, shows the criticism of the city very well. The protagonist in it, A rogue with a bad reputation, but he will eventually return to the picturesque farm and die next to the horses he grew up with. They are not really bad people, it is just the sinful city that devours them .

    9. Film noir, B-level production, winning by style and plot, representative of Hollywood in the 50s. Houston doesn't shoot much, but has written quite a few. His representative works all show the splicing between dynamic compositions, regardless of mobile photography, which is also unique. That film also presents post-citizen Kane, but it is different. A large number of long shots are completed through depth of field scheduling and small-scale dynamics. The emphasis on light and dark contrast and deep focus greatly affects the composition and character shape. Faces and gloomy visuals make for a worrisome nightmare. 560

    The setting where people from all walks of life gather to do large-scale theft is easy to think of men's battles and red circles, but this one does not show the wonderful stealing skills like the two French films, and spends more time portraying the characters. The gangster who wants to go back to his hometown, the black-hearted lawyer who wants to make a comeback, and the German professor who has just been released from prison. They have different personalities but end up with the same sad ending. The world of black and black is probably only like this. Monroe is amazing, it's so beautiful

The Asphalt Jungle quotes

  • Police Commissioner Hardy: He left prison yesterday at 12 noon, took a train for this city, time of arrival, 3:17. All you had to do was stay with him for 24 hours. If he didn't register, lock him up. What happens? He loses you five blocks from the depot, and a dangerous criminal is at large in this city.

    Lt. Ditrich: Two men on that detail ought to get medals for dumbness.

    Police Commissioner Hardy: They were assigned by you. You should get one too.

  • Taxi Driver: I wouldn't go parading around this neighborhood with a suitcase. Some of these young punks might clip you just to get a clean shirt.
