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.

Whether on location or in the studio, Wells is a true cosmopolitan and a persistent traveler. In his multilingual country, geography is a dislocation of scenes, linguistics is a disorder of ideology, and the body always crosses boundaries unknowingly. When two white people pretend to kiss under the stage in Chinatown, the familiar elements have already extended far beyond their normal tension points. "The nicest jails are in Australia." Besides him, who else would praise the smallest and loneliest continent in the movie?

A noir film written and directed by Orson Welles. The rhythm is tight, the first half of the trial is hidden under the surface calm, and the second half of the court scene is both comical (such as a person acting as a defense lawyer and a witness at the same time, and Mike and the two bailiffs fighting each other) and suspense, climax The mirrored labyrinth scene in part of the "Crazy House" was created for the first time in film history, and has since been copied and imitated by countless films. The fly in the ointment is that the language spoken by the "Chinese" in Chinatown and Chinese theaters is completely unintelligible bird language. Although the title includes "Shanghai", it actually has nothing to do with it. (8.0/10)

Mrs. Elsa 'Rosalie' Bannister: You're such a foolish knight errant, Michael. You're big and strong. You just don't know how to take care of yourself. So, how could you take care of me?

Michael O'Hara: Why don't you do it yourself?
George Grisby: Commit suicide? Me? Don't be silly. Suicide is against the law. We're not going to break the law. This is going to be murder and it's going to be legal.
