When Delon came back from America, Melville showed him the script for The Lone Killer. He made an appointment with Delon and came to visit. Delon was very happy to welcome him into the room. As soon as Melville sat down, he began to read the script aloud. Delon sat quietly and listened carefully, and after a while he opened his mouth and said to Melville: "You have read 7, 8 aloud. Minutes, I heard it clearly and was very interested in it, I don't know if I could be lucky enough to participate in it. What is the script called?" Melville replied: "The Lone Killer" Then Delon motioned for Melville to follow He, when they entered Delong's bedroom, the samurai sword at the bedside jumped into view, this is a Japanese bedroom, sophisticated and serious.
This is also closely related to Melville's characterization in the film. The protagonist in the film is like a Japanese samurai. Melville not only cites Japanese samurai cultural factors, but also draws on Japanese movies. Not worried about being arrested, Melville isn't interested in the history of the samurai, despite the character's importance in Japanese history, what he's interested in is its grace and, in particular, the importance of death.
The lines of the whole film are concise and to the point, without any superfluous words, and every sentence pushes the plot to a climax
. What impressed me the most in the film was Jeff's eyes when he stole a car for the first time. When the key was inserted into the starter hole, his eyes were erratic, with blue light emitting in his eyes, like the color in a photo, his empty eyes shot into the distance, his eyes seemed to be isolated from everything in the world.
