The 6th screening day of the main competition unit of the 9th #Faro IslandFilm Festival# brings you "Private Blood". The following is the intricate evaluation of the frontline social group portraits!

Faroe Islander:

Bad times turn people into ghosts.

Fruit trees:

The male protagonists are really charming, and the film is enough to reflect the times, but it cannot surpass the times as works of art.

Midnight no one:

Climb out of the trenches full of bullets, but can't survive the Great Depression that corrupts people's hearts. The three protagonists that were promised basically revolve around Eddie alone. It is a story that takes place in the same era as "Passion Like Fire", and it can be regarded as two sides of one parallel space-time.

kc512:

The ending of falling on the stairs in the snow reminded me of "Blade Runner 2049", which is also a self-desired identity loss, but was sacrificed by fulfilling other people's redemption. Note that what the male protagonist really loses here is not the identity of Daxiang, but the identity of his lover.

zzy granite:

In the gangster story in the context of the prohibition era, the glory will always come to an end, and the hero will eventually return to the dull. In terms of character settings and actors' performances, the film is excellent, and the contrast between before and after is also very evocative. Life itself is like a battlefield. Cagney still performed brilliantly, but Bogart's villain was just fine.

#FIFF9#DAY6's main competition magazine rating will be released later, please wait and see.

The Roaring Twenties quotes

  • George Halley: [while running across the battlefield ablaze with an artillery barrage in progress, Eddie has just dived into a gaping shell hole for cover. He practically lands on top of another soldier who is already in the crater] Now, do you always come into a rat hole like that?

    Eddie Bartlett: What do you want me to do, knock?

  • George Halley: [In the shell hole: Eddie offers a cigarette to George. He in turn takes it, and then picks out bugs that apparently infest everything] Ah, look at that. Them cooties are gettin' desperate: they're feedin' off tobacco.

    Eddie Bartlett: How much can a cootie smoke?
