try to watch a movie

I haven't watched an old movie for a long time.
Looking at the black and white film, it is still quite emotional.
I don't like its Chinese translation, and I don't think it's a love-themed movie. The English name will be closer.
Well, after reading other people's professional film reviews, it turns out that I still need constant efforts on the road to watching movies.
I saw the 110m version, it should be the second version. Can't compare without seeing the first one. But I do understand the importance of EDIT. Because there is a passage from ORSON WELLES at the beginning of the film, and then I can see the hard work, feel the pressure, and watch it more seriously.
The deepest impression is that in the finale, after HANK killed his good friend, facing the tears left by Vargas, he still exonerates himself, while the sadness of despair. Maybe this time is similar to the battlefield, if I don't kill you, you will kill me. .
And finally, HANK walked up to his partner, let his blood drip onto himself, and committed suicide, saying, this is the second shot I've blocked for you. .
In the end, Hannah appeared, and her words were thought-provoking. Is the evaluation of a person really that important?
Well, the ending is quite impressive, and I won't write much about the rest.
By the way, what if I were to edit it? At least I won't make Vargoth so lewd. . He hugged Susan at the end, kissing and hugging, doesn't he need to take some responsibility for the death of an honest policeman? . don't like him. . .

    From a technical point of view alone, it is already a movie with advanced audiovisual language. The scheduling of the first long shot is still excellent even now, and combined with the suspense very well, it can be called a classic. Sheriff Hank was so good, I can't tell if Orson Welles was better as a director or better as an actor. Generally speaking, it is a noir film that is still smooth and full of suspense when seen now. It was definitely beyond the times to be able to make it in 1958.
