The Falcon of Malta is the work of the famous Humphrey Bogart before the famous "Casablanca". At that time, he was still in poverty in Hollywood, and it was "The Maltese Falcon" that established his image as a personality star. "The Maltese Eagle" is first of all a suspenseful detective film with rich plot twists and turns. At the beginning, the series of murders have not yet made the audience react, and the clue comes to a "black bird statue" (that is, the Maltese Eagle). It seems that people All died for it.

Next, the plot develops like a cocoon and a thread, and gradually unfolds. What is valuable is that this is not only a process of finding the truth, but more of a process of fighting wits and courage to change the outcome. Humphrey Bogart's witty and powerful aura was vividly displayed in the process. He was observant and repeatedly turned passive into active. It can be said that "The Falcon of Malta" proved that the 1940s can also have a script with rich plot twists, suspense and suspense in the 21st century. took the entire movie and took it to a higher level with superb acting. The villain Boss Fatty is also quite interesting. He is also a flexible and thoughtful character. Hehehehe after a few words. Among all the characters, he is basically the only one who can fight Bogart for dozens of rounds.

Here I want to scold the subtitles of Peace and Shadows. The plug-ins are completely out of sync. Although there are manual adjustments, due to the mismatch between the subtitles and the speed of the movie, it is undoubtedly a huge suspense film that relies on intensive dialogue to advance the plot. disaster. I had no choice but to give up subtitles and rely solely on listening. The other characters are okay, Humphrey Bogart's unique accent and super fast speaking speed, I only feel a little bit when I hear it near the end, but fortunately I basically understand the plot.
