The adaptation of the novel in "Black Dahlia" is not bad, the story structure is compact, and it gives the audience a stronger sense of oppression than the original. Thanks to the success of the original story, the film doesn't have to use the old-fashioned Hollywood-heavy background music to heighten the tension.

The film has added a lot of visual impact shots, the most typical of which is the image of the crow. Looking at the past movies, it is not difficult to see that this kind of movie symbol is quite similar to "Hussars on the Roof".

The lack of verbal humor in the film may be a problem with our Asian culture's understanding of American culture itself. A few supporting characters manage to be underwhelming, unlike the finesse of the novel, which may also be the inescapable fate of a two-hour time-limited film.

In order to reduce the prosperity and procrastination of the original characters and storylines, the movie is very good to centralize the appearance of the characters, and many places and characters are compressed from the places and characters in the original book.

In the case of little west wind, he has to meet certain mentality and emotional requirements according to the original work. Haha, it is very difficult, but Scarlett's performance is still in place. . In some cases, it's okay to say that this drama is paving the way for Scarlett's performance, but the truth is that her role is not strong enough.

The movie is not bad and worth watching...

By the way, James Elroy's book is Harbin Publishing House. hey, proud!
