Be brave and loyal, Reivew on Odd Man Out

Could this film be considered another antihero? Johnny does not have the bright, powerful, and fighting characteristics of traditional heroes, but he is in a trance most of the time; besides his wife, he lacks the supportive companions around traditional heroes. On the contrary, most people either want to abandon him, or want to betray him. But combined with the time background of the story, everything seems to transcend tradition, reflecting the reality of the lack of support for the IRA in the process of fighting for its own goals.

A feast of picture technology, British films, because of their unique status, can widely absorb the technical characteristics of Europe and the United States. The film combines Impressionism, Expressionism, montage, excellent European scheduling, and traditional Hollywood editing techniques. The picture shows strong contrast between light and dark, and the composition Sophisticated.

The soundtrack and sound effects are outstanding. According to the needs of the plot, certain sounds will be deliberately highlighted, such as the barking of dogs and the rubbing of the iron cover of the trash can on the ground. Certain sounds are also deliberately blocked. For example, when Catherine left the church to avoid the sheriff, she blocked the sound of the door closing.

For now, the film's story remains relevant, and the conflict between the IRA and the English government continues in modern times.
