modern blue beard

I don't know why I thought of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, especially when I saw John and Pearl drifting on the river in a boat to avoid being chased by their stepfather, I thought it would be very refreshing if they didn't escape. At night, Pearl was lying on the board with the doll in her arms, John fell asleep by the side of the boat, and the stars were shining in the night sky.
The scenery is beautiful, although it is black and white, even John and Pearl's mother were killed by the cruel stepfather and then thrown into the river. The old man who was fishing saw the long hair waving with the water plants through the river. It was not scary at all, and it was very Beauty, so it reminds the old man of his wife who died prematurely. The shots are also very smooth, and the soundtrack is also very good. Although Mitchum's modern Bluebeard is ruthless, he sings very nice songs, with a touch of sadness, especially in the twilight. It sounds melodious and vague. The lines are also beautiful, and in many places it sounds like rhythmic poetry.

    A film noir with high black and white contrast and a very expressive style, it will make people always recall the close-ups of various small animals during various projections, female corpses in the water, and night boats (surreal!) Fairy tale ~ but the performance is slightly exaggerated, with some stage play style. Some of the episodes are kind of silly at this age. If you have a strange tattoo on your hand, you should be a "bad guy".

    It seems to be a religious film. Although the lines are capable and straightforward, they reflect a deeper meaning and are very symbolic.
