Tribute to Edgar Allan Poe

I heard about Edgar Allan Poe when I was in junior high school. It is undeniable that teachers have a great influence on students. Because this is what our Chinese teacher told us, in Edgar Allan Poe's "Murder in the Rue Mogue", the murderer turned out to be a gorilla, which made me feel very incredible. Then read a few Edgar Allan Poe novels. That gloomy feeling is very obvious. His "Black Cat" gave me a powerful shock.
I don’t know if it’s the same as me, reading horror novels or mystery novels under normal circumstances, even if it’s written in horror, it doesn’t feel very scary, but watching horror movies will feel very uncomfortable, or It's disgusting, especially American horror, but Edgar Allan Poe's words are the kind of words that give me chills that make me feel terrified and will keep echoing in my head.
Many people think this film sucks. At least Edgar Allan Poe is not a detective at all in it, he is simply a manipulated doll, and the typesetting worker is an unparalleled boss. But as Edgar Allan Poe said in it, the worker is nothing but a plagiarist. He forced the author to create, but he could never complete the creation. This may also be the reason why art comes from life is higher than life. It's a Poe homage, not a myth of him.
The film fictionalizes the cause of his death and the activities of the five days leading up to his death. And put its previous works in it, almost made a brief introduction to his life. He and his wife have explained their experiences of going to West Point Military Academy and being expelled, which shows that the screenwriter has good intentions.
There is also Edgar Allan Poe's evaluation of Emerson in the film is also very Edgar Allan Poe. Edgar Allan Poe was always amiable and sincere to those he loved; only to those he hated was he arrogant and steadfast.
If you like Edgar Allan Poe you will feel the enjoyment of the whole film, if you are a fan of mystery novels to find a murderer or worship a detective, you can skip it.
