The price of fear

This high-scoring plot thriller film "The Price of Fear" in 1953, it is worth mentioning that this film is still a black and white film. As a black and white film in 1953, it has been so high that it has been outstanding. It is very attractive for viewers to find out. I haven't finished watching this 8.7-point masterpiece until today. Some people say that the front of the film is too long, resulting in the film being two and a half hours long, which makes the development of the plot particularly procrastinated. It is not conducive to grab the attention of the viewers to enter the continuous climax until an hour later. Evaluation, the plot for nearly an hour in the front of the film is completely necessary, and it is almost perfect. Without the substantial paving in the front, the contrast of each person's personality changes in the development of the plot will not be so obvious, and it will not be so intense. Before and after comparison, if you remove or delete the previous foreshadowing, it is undoubtedly a failed choice for this film. The editor’s feeling after watching this film is that the prelude time of this film is indeed a bit longer compared to other films, but it is full of details and characterizations, laying out the clues for many subsequent plots. For the reader, it is likely that the prelude to the film is too long and affects the viewing experience, but if you calm down and savor it, you will find that the director and screenwriter’s good intentions are everywhere, even in the ordinary. The prelude of the film is also full of foreshadowing and stunning. The film's success is not accidental. As far as this film is concerned, ordinary evaluation criteria are no longer applicable to this film. The control of the rhythm of the film can be said to be tight or loose throughout. The plot design and development of this film are full of surprises and twists, but It is reasonable and full of irony, and the whole article is discussing a question, what exactly will fear bring us! A very good movie, I recommend everyone to watch it!

When fear plugs the wings of desire,

Stupid people no longer do nothing,

When interest becomes the only yardstick,

The cowardly no longer swallows and hesitates,

When the brave old man becomes cowardly,

The young warrior would laugh at his escape,

When the reckless warrior forgets about it,

Maybe only a wise old man can save him alive,

When we clinked glasses with the gods,

Don't forget the god of death under the sickle in the corner!

    It's really a "nine deaths and a lifetime" thing, is this length a classic, right? The online disk download did not wait for the national language, and the screenshot was viewed once.

    "You are responsible for driving, I am responsible for scaring half to death." This wonderful relationship is also a contest between the director and the audience. In the 152-minute DC repair version, the opening scene of the plane landing in the small town was amazing. The tension of the big turn and the bombing of the boulder is also perfect. Compared with the still photos, the repair effect of falling into the oil pit is more sticky and suffocating. The road turns straight, and the deepening and transformation of the character's personality also brings out the fate of "nothing".

The Wages of Fear quotes

  • Bill O'Brien: The Hell with the Union! There's plenty of tramps in town, all volunteers. I'm not worried. To get that bonus, they'll carry the entire charge on their backs.

    Bradley: You mean you're gonna put those bums to work?

    Bill O'Brien: Yes, Mr. Bradley, because those bums don't have any union, nor any families. And if they blow up, nobody'll come around bothering me for any contribution.

  • Dick: When I was a kid, I used to see men go off on this kind of jobs... and not come back. When they did, they were wrecks. Their hair had turned white and their hands were shaking like palsy! You don't know what fear is. But you'll see. It's catching, it's catching like small pox! And once you get it, it's for life! So long, boys, and good luck.
