Dassin ------------- Liar or Gambler?

Tia 2022-01-29 08:05:54

There is a passage in imdb trivia that Dassin said he was broke when he brought the film to Cannes. . . . Playing in the casino, even the most basic gambling chips are borrowed from the producer. It can be said that he himself has no money. . He meant that he was poor and it was difficult to make this film. He is trying to win over a "sympathetic" audience for himself. And imagine yourself as a lone hero. . . .

But in fact, as several films before film director Dassin in the business can be considered moderate success

BRUTE FORCE
THE NAKED the CITY
THIEVES HIGHWAY
NIGHT the AND THE the CITY

box office movie of the above, the equivalent of today can be ranked 30-50. . Today's annual ranking is equivalent to how much box office? ? About 4000W-8000W, the director who can direct this level of film today will be poor? ? Moreover, Dassin also runs a business in France, and has friends. His films are in France, and the audience ratio is also higher. Would such a Dassin be penniless?

There are only 2 possibilities to solve this problem.
1. He is completely nonsense.
2. He lost all his money. He is a good gambler.

Another proof of this second possibility is that he also boasted that it was the borrowed chips that allowed him to win a lot of money. It can be seen that the nature of gamblers has not changed. .


In addition, his low cost of this movie is estimated to fool you. , in my own experience, the film is at least medium cost in France.

    The coolest, most open-minded and full of blood male protagonist. Seeing him escorting Xiao Zhengtai to the end of the car, he thought of Uncle Lyon. The 20-minute bank robbery seems to be inserted into a documentary. There is no soundtrack, no exaggerated performance, but it is enough to hold up the most expressive paragraph of the whole film.

    The brilliance of the four-and-a-half-star, half-hour stealing scene is that the French film realistic style (depth of field, long-shot scheduling, push-pull to achieve single-shot inner montage narrative effect, matching and linkage of actions inside and outside the screen) and Hollywood narrative skills (dissolving) Timeliness is expressed, cross editing enhances the sense of tension, and the contraction and release of scenes are fully integrated, which does not rely too much on the narrative code, but also reflects the language characteristics of the film. On the basis of respecting the reality, we can grasp a kind of music that is closer to the audience's psychology. Movement rhythm.
