no night

Many people who read the micro-comments said that such a subject would definitely look better if it was filmed in Hollywood today, but I am not convinced. After all, according to the standard of "good-looking", the paragraph about stealing jewelry in the film is only about ten minutes, which is less than ten minutes of the whole film. It seems that the main creator doesn't care about this chapter. Like many current crime movies, the characters are less than one-tenth of the length. You see, most of the movies are only about 100 minutes. Time is tight and tasks are heavy. , the pursuit of hardcore detective novels in film art is closer to classic literary works in essence, and the complexity of the case itself is far less important than the complexity of the characters' fates. Usually, the character's character guides behavior, such as making Decide, choose allies, etc., but occasionally create some unplanned troubles, thereby changing the fate and making the plot take a turn for the worse. And the occasional brilliance in character adds to the tragedy. Early film noir was rooted in American crime novels, but it was not limited to it. Houston's Virgo "The Falcon of Malta" is considered by many to be the pioneering work of film noir, and this film is different from "Horse". The former is centered on Bogart, surrounded by many characters, while the portrayal of several main characters in this film is relatively average, and there is no obvious priority. In the first half of the film, the scenes in which Dix borrowed money seem to have nothing to do with theft, but in fact, the characters of the main characters are clarified, which is a forward-looking description. There is a detail in the film. The professor happily accepted the phone call from the dusty woman, and heard the rumor from the woman that the lawyer was about to go bankrupt. The plot led to the bankruptcy of the lawyer, and the details explained the professor's lustful nature. At the end, he delayed his escape to watch the girl dance. It also seems to be in order. The most sympathetic character in the film is Dix. Although he is the "rogue" among the three assistants, he is neither lecherous nor vicious. He never breaks his bill, trusts his friends, and helps the homeless. Returning nightclub lady, she is a very good person, and the words of her childhood hometown when she was dying reminded me of the confusing "rose flower" in "Citizen Kane". In the end, Dix tried his best. He went back to the family farm with all his strength, but shed his last drop of blood, leaving the audience with sigh...

The Asphalt Jungle quotes

  • Gus Minissi: Smart cat. Never does a lick of work, stays out all night, sleeps all day.

    Truck Driver: What's a big, dirty cat doing at an eatin' joint? I run over one every time I get a chance. People feedin' cats and some kids haven't got enough to eat.

    Gus Minissi: You gonna buy that magazine?

    Truck Driver: Why should I? I seen all the dames in it already. Wanna make somethin' of it?

    Gus Minissi: You're a little off your beat, ain't you, buster?

    Truck Driver: How do you mean, Humpty Dumpty?

    Gus Minissi: I mean, you don't belong around here. You're just passing through, only not fast enough! If I ever see you running over a cat, I'll kick your teeth out.

  • Gus Minissi: Look, Dix, take my advice and knock off for a while. The happiness boys are on a rampage. Headquarters has given them the push.
