last five minutes

The title is from a short review I saw, which is probably "the last five minutes are really shocking". Some movies may be really excellent, but they are only excellent for a few minutes, but this is called an excellent movie because of these few minutes.

I was thinking about this short review at the time, and with the attitude of giving it a try, I saw the time almost approaching the last five minutes. I also suspected that this was a temptation for others to keep reading and wasting time, because there are so many in front of me. It can be summed up in a few sentences.

After watching this movie, I finally understood that it was the last five minutes that were worth watching. It's enough to understand it before, and then skip to watch these five minutes. The people watching it are very worried and very emotional.

Looking at this 1931 film from a modern perspective, I think it is incomparable with many excellent suspense films today. The most obvious is the procrastination of the plot and the boringness of the long shots.

But there is no doubt that this film will eventually become a classic, and I will not swear it. If I say something arrogant, people who know it will naturally understand it.
