After watching Anderson's "Broken", I looked back at this old film, and I also watched "The Machinist". In comparison, "Break" is still the smoothest and most exciting, and the story of "Machinist" is long and procrastinated, and the protagonist's dedicated performance supports the film. The film is the worst, procrastinated in the first half, and the story and details in the second half are unreasonable. There are too many places.
The first half is too procrastinated, although it takes a lot of time, but the characters from all walks of life have not explained clearly, the character setting is not erected, which directly affects the development of the plot in the second half.
The American man is a traditional obedient man and a train lover, but when he finally ran away, he fought bravely.
The American woman is weak on the outside and has a maiden in her heart. In the second half, she is a black-bellied woman + a Madonna + a mad woman with a series of lies. What she does is basically unreasonable. If someone offends each other a little bit ambiguously, you just kill someone directly? You are obviously cruel and telling lies, and finally you have to pretend to visit the drug dealer girl? This kind of crazy woman really can't afford it!
The drug dealer man is handsome and humorous, this is okay. But in the process of carrying drugs and drug money, you actually wanted to have a married woman, but you were beaten to death by a mad woman. Why is your heart so big?
The drug dealer girl was a passerby in the first half, but she became a big winner at the end. What does the director mean?
The old Soviet detective appeared clearly as a master detective, and he became a gangster running dog directly behind him. What a turning point? In the end, he would rather kill the gang killer to save the white couple. Then he was reported by the white couple and wanted to be tragically wanted. Is his brain flooded? When interrogating the mad woman, based on the clues, he could immediately determine that the drug dealer was near the village church. The drug dealers have thought of it, but the detectives can't think of it?
Speaking of thrillers, that frail American mad woman is really terrifying!
