Live alone, die alone. I think this is a deep analysis of the human "situation".
There are a few places in the movie that I don't quite understand. First, the psychological and logical route of the male protagonist. Why did you end up targeting a black woman with a fake gun after taking over the mission? The facial expressions of the last two people fighting back and forth are indeed very attractive. In this special reversal situation, looking at each other's reflections, the male protagonist's eyes move, and the capture of this subtle expression depicts the character's inner personality. Second, see how the birdcage found out that someone was coming.
The movie is very good in shaping the characters, the environment in which the characters are shaped, and the overall composition. The character's killing and lonely killer temperament is beautiful, and the shadow of learning in this movie can be seen in the later master movies. The environment and the role are in line with each other, whether it is a cool-toned setting in a confined space, a desolate street, or a space in a car that relies on simple lighting, the composition has its own characteristics, and the overall artistic conception is like walking in a broad mass ceremony. The hearse on the road. The movie accumulates energy, and the final tragic ending has a poetic beauty.
However, the bad thing about this movie, I think, is the lack of genre. Suspense films, police and bandit films, and film noirs pay attention to the layout of the plot. The two main clues of the plot, the police and the employer, are not enough. In this way, there may also be his advantages. The audience is focused on the characters and atmosphere of the movie, but a good story is the core. In the closing of the story, the hiring side itself is weak. ” and “Intense.”

    In the famous noir film, Alan DeLong's cool to the extreme shape has influenced many directors, including Wu Yusen, Wang Jiawei, Peng Haoxiang and so on. The film is very delicate in terms of graphics, photography and sound effects. Coupled with Delong's handsome face and shape, it is simply a classic. The movie was originally called "Samurai", but it is obviously not much related to Japanese samurai. The plot is too simple, some far-fetched, some pretending to be cool, and it’s a pity that it has been played many times

    The tragedy of the caged bird has long been doomed, but the male protagonist is neither a passive person in the game nor a cold-faced melancholy label, which is really a great image. Alain Delon's eyes are very good-looking, and he is indeed the man that Visconti likes.
