This commercial film made in 1956 was not commercial at all at the box office. At the time, it suffered a disastrous failure at the box office because of its overly advanced shooting awareness; even today, because of kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove", "A Space Odyssey 2001", The light of "A Clockwork Orange" is so radiant that it overshadows the killing, so that it is rarely mentioned and paid attention to.
The film tells of several men with different motives working together to plan a heist. It was originally a well-planned and well-planned affair, but there were several episodes that occurred outside the festival, and finally created an unexpected but ethical ending. Bad guys always have bad endings, Victory always stands on the side of justice, even though the policeman in the film is like a dull cat, is it from the angle of onion to position it as a commercial film? Laughs...
Black and white movies + non-linear narrative + a narration voice that is so authoritative that people won't have any reverie will make most people feel bored and yawn constantly. But this last actual film made in the 1950s is not out of date at all. Although the story is old-fashioned, the concept of its shooting was definitely experimental and avant-garde at the time, which made me addicted to watching it.
The film tells about the different actions of different people in the same time period, the screen does not listen to switching, the plot is tightly connected, and the narration is a bit Haruki Murakami-style focusing on the accuracy of time, which not only highlights the high precision of the careful planning for time, but also timely and clear It explained the staggered time and place and personnel, and clarified the context of the incident.
Things are always like this, plans can never keep up with changes, and changes can never keep up with the word of God. In short, man is not as good as God, and the initiator would never dream of letting a dog break a big thing.
Among them, the death of the gunman is very coincidental. The horseshoe-shaped piece of iron was supposed to be a gift of gratitude, but in the end it was precisely the one that punctured the tire, causing the gunman to be shot and killed by the police before he could escape. The moment when the $2 million lying in the suitcase rolled around in the strong wind under the action of strong air currents, it was a complete failure of this perfect plan. As the lady cried when she was dying: this was just a meaningless joke from beginning to end.
