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

  • Lloyd Hart: [the men are taking cover in a bombed-out farmhouse, shooting at German soldiers somewhere off-screen] When is this "armistice" they've been talking about for the past four days?

    Eddie Bartlett: That's just another rumor. This brawl's gonna' go on forever.

    Lloyd Hart: If I ever get back, I'm gonna' have a swell law office in the Woolworth Building. Have it all picked out, on the 28th floor. Can see the whole city: the Bay, Brooklyn...

    Eddie Bartlett: Whaddya' wanna' look at Brooklyn for?

  • George Halley: [the men are taking cover in a bombed-out farmhouse, shooting at German soldiers somewhere off-screen. Lloyd takes aim at a German soldier, but hesitates, then lowers his rifle] Whatsa' matta', "Harvard," did you lose the Heine?

    Lloyd Hart: No... but he looks like a kid, about 15 years old.

    George Halley: -

    [Aims his rifle and without any hesitation shoots the young German soldier]

    George Halley: He won't be sixteen.

    [Seconds later, a fellow soldier rushes in to tell them the war is over, the Armistice has been signed]
