This film was shot in the same year as Dreyer's "The Vampire", and it is also the originator of horror films, of course, with typical Hollywood-style features. A man-eating Russian, a Chinese who plays with flying knives, an American who is brave and correct and cannot die, a deserted island that does not know where it is (it is suspected that the producer filmed "King Kong" on this set in the second year. "), followed by hunting and escaping, the protagonist survives the catastrophe, and the villain eats his own fruit, which is simply a textbook-like template. I don't know how many generations of audiences have been fooled by this set. It's a bit more fancy with a different shell, and we will still talk about it today. Entertainment is like this, always not satisfied with the status quo, and the simplest is the best solution. Now show this film to everyone, most people will say things like stupid and boring, but the film industry has been operating in the same mode for a century, how much more can the mass-produced products be? difference? Images will always last much longer than people's memory. Even if entertainment has developed a near-perfect form, there is no reason or way to abandon it.
The last escape scene is very well-cut, a bit reminiscent of expressionism, reminiscent of Murnau. Although it is a sound film, this scene is completely silent. The soundtrack has only Gothic background music, close-ups of the characters' terrified expressions, chases, and parallel montages. It is really the most classic configuration.
