Miss Shanghai

One of the masterpieces written, directed and acted by the talented Orson Welles. It belongs to a typical noir film, with elements such as femme fatale, criminal murder, and human nature revealing. The first half is a romantic and relaxing scene film + extramarital affair, and the second half suddenly changes his face and reveals his fierceness. The narrative style is very strange, and the logic of the story and shots is a bit rushed and not clear enough. The shootout at the amusement park at the end finally revealed the talent's amazing talent, which is unforgettable. The broken multi-faceted mirror reflects the indistinguishable black hole of human nature. The metaphor of crocodiles killing each other is even more thought-provoking. But in general, the talent's intention to support his wife is still very obvious.
