The debut of the Coen brothers is a good way to establish the style of the Coen brothers' film. The story of the whole movie is concise, there is no brain-burning content, but it is full of dark humor and unexpected turns. The Coen brothers' approach to filming is also unique.
In fact, the role of the detective in the play does not have much sense of existence at the beginning, just a person who is simply greedy for money. Originally thought it was a simple triangular relationship, a lover, a husband and a wife, but when the detective killed Marty, many people should have been surprised. It was an unexpected turn.
The image of a private detective who is greedy for money runs through the whole story. For the sake of 10,000 yuan, murder and blame, the wishful thinking is very loud.
But he still made a mistake. If he didn't make a mistake, then the movie would not be worth watching, and it would become a vindication. Therefore, the details of the lighter are also very good. Although there is a small loophole, there is no lighter, how did the detective burn the pictures? However, because it is a debut novel, these small details will be forgotten.
When the detective first appeared, the lighter had a close-up. A close-up meant that the thing was useful and would become a clue or even a motive for murder. This method is very Hitchcockian, and this lighter became the detective's motive for killing his lover and wife.
Another point worth mentioning in the film is the gun, there are three shots in total, one kills marty, one goes off, and one kills the detective.
The films of the Coen brothers are always full of surprises, and the plot development completely jumps out of normal thinking, but it is very reasonable. (Here, the three shots that have not been changed by stepping on the adaptation have not been changed.) Many people will think that the detective killed Marty just for money. , but in fact Marty has also insulted the detective.
The Coen Brothers movies are always full of bizarre imaginations, interlocking plots, and the black humor unique to the Coen brothers. It tells about the confrontation and contradiction within human beings.
(The main reason for not giving five stars is because it is a debut novel, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and there are still some loopholes in several plots)
