The three Megleys have a strong British style, quiet observation, careful judgment and reasoning, and even the pursuit and surveillance are British calm and calm.
In addition to the British logical thinking style, the impressive features of the Megre series are: the film's steady and suspenseful rhythm, the attention to clean photographic lighting and a trace of compassionate human concern throughout the three films, and the British sense of social responsibility and thinking.
The first part of the Megret series, "Megret's Trap", when the truth is gradually revealed, the perverted criminal under the double crush of mother's love and wife's love makes the audience angry at his brutality, but also for his mother and his wife. His wife sighs and falls into a trance for his love beyond the moral framework. The thinking brought about by the tragedy in this tragedy is beyond the reach of the other two Megre. Love is too deep and heavy, and love becomes a burden and pressure.
The second "Megre's Dead", the humanistic color injected under the skin of the detective film is more obvious and richer. Although some social problems, such as the European Jewish problem after World War II and the immigration problem in Eastern Europe, are just a few points, but they are enough to make Megre a distinctive detective film. At the end of "Megre's Dead", the victim's widow adopted the victim's orphan, which became the most unexpected and reasonable highlight of the whole film, making the film and Chief Inspector Maygre full of human warmth.
The third "Megret's Night at the Crossroads" is the most far-fetched part of the trilogy. From father-son conflict to religious betrayal to life-saving redemption, it is a bit puzzling and vague. But these do not affect the viewing of this detective film. The suspense of the film is closely linked to each other, and at the same time, it is laid in more points, which makes this Megre particularly thrilling.
The British-style Megre is a detective who is different from Sherlock Holmes, Polo, and Miss Marpe, and a cold-faced detective with human warmth. Looking forward to part four.
