commercial artistic value

If you thought that "Instinct" was nothing more than an epiphany, then "Black Book" was enough to prop up Paul Verhoeven's name as a genius. Known as the European version of Lust, Caution, the whole film is so clear that it doesn't require brainstorming, but it is not so mentally retarded that even domestic fans can see it at a glance. Those megalomaniacs who think this film is too bland probably either do not know the arduousness of all-round harmony in filmmaking, or they are blind to see the foreshadowing in the film, and the perfect loopback hook.

Although the adaptation of real events, there is still no lack of excessive dramatic tension and fatalism. But the integrity of the feature film is quite incredible, and the trade-off between business and art is as precise as the overall scene scheduling and ups and downs of the film.

The choice of actors is also remarkable. The heroine is the sexy and coquettish Scarlet Witch in "Game of Thrones". I said why those breasts look so kind. The acting in this film is excellent, which adds a lot to the story. Verhoeven's worship of female genitalia has not diminished at all, and many unnecessary dew points will inevitably help the proportion of straight men in box office revenue to act as a bait.

The overall score is 8.2, and 0.2 gives me the scene of drenching feces covering my nose. I have been thinking about what material it is made of. Coupled with the success of "Her" jointly produced by Director Fan and Aunt Yu this year, I decided to follow up on the other excellent works of the old lecher in the near future.

    To be a good blockbuster, the premise is to have a solid and rigorous script, and the success of "Black Book" and "The Wind" has proved this. In fact, the story of "Black Book" is not so shocking, and in the final analysis, it is not out of the usual mode of melodrama.

    3.5; twists and turns, exciting, reversal of reversal, two and a half hours to watch (although the length is long enough, but the plot is still too fast), the heroine's perseverance, wit, loyalty, affection and righteousness are admirable; Abnormalities during the war can best expose the darkness of human nature. Survival and greed reveal the nobility and vulgarity of everyone. There is no absolute justice or injustice in the world, only the difference between self-interest and others.

Black Book quotes

    [Hans Akkermans is locked in the coffin, as a punishment for his murderous treason, struggling to get out by kicking and screaming]

    Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: We should actually get up and open the coffin.

    Gerben Kuipers: Yeah. We should...

    [both Rachel and Gerben remain seated, gazing at the river]

    Gerben Kuipers: What should we do with all the money?

    Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: It doesn't belong to us.

    Gerben Kuipers: It doesn't belong to anybody.

    Rachel Stein aka Ellis de Vries: To the dead...

    [the sound of Hans Akkermans's screams stops, meaning he is now dead. Gerben raises his finger]

  • General Käutner: Obersturmführer, open your safe.

    Günther Franken: Of course. Which files would you like to see?

    General Käutner: None. You're suspected of killing rich Jews. There's nothing wrong with that. But you've been looting the bodies and keeping the valuables for yourself. Failure to turn Jewish property over to the Reich is punishable by death. Open the safe.

    Günther Franken: As you wish, Obergruppenführer.
