Unpredictable ending

The impeccable blueprint gives "The Witness for the Prosecution" a perfect film structure. The witty and humorous character lines and the interlocking suspenseful depth are enough to make people deeply fascinated by this seemingly old black and white image, but it is so From beginning to end, it is impossible to speculate on the context of the ending. When the suspense is finally solved, it is difficult to describe how amazing the words are. The reversal of Ashi's ending is often praised, but I personally appreciate the film's characterization, several rounds of battles before and in court, not dry or tense, witty and humorous, and has a lot of skill in succession and transformation, Billy Wilder brings it into a strong sense of immersion, Mary Dietrich's acting charm is still the same, and Charles Laughton's lawyer sees the truth in his words and demeanor. This movie can be said to be a super classic. The actors have first-class acting skills, a first-class plot, a hearty confrontation between defense and accusation, the image of the hero and heroine, and the ending that will never be known until the last moment. Just know why a classic is a classic!

    Yu Hong's line: "What is morality? I thought that two people together is morality." It is amazing that a woman makes careful choices and arrangements for her lover, and she blindly surrenders to her emotions without distinguishing between wisdom and love. Stupid both. The actor's frowns and smiles are exquisite in every turn of the white fireworks scene until the last minute.

    The film can be divided into three parts: 40 minutes of character display and case introduction, 1 hour of court battles and 8 minutes of reversal. Every part is wonderful and smooth. The image of the righteous and lovely fat lawyer is very vivid, and even the supporting roles such as the prosecution lawyer and the judge are very interesting. 56-year-old Marlene Dietrich can actually play such a beautiful femme fatale, it is amazing! //20170708 Archives big screen. still five stars
