The commercial entertainment version of "Zoom" is still very high

1. If I remember correctly, before "Scarface", most of Brian de Palma's early films were suspenseful and horror genres. I have also watched several of them, and the overall feeling is relatively good. Sharp, with a relatively strong personal style, this one is no exception. I like it more and more, and I decide to have time to watch all his early suspense works as much as possible.

2. I didn't really contact "Zoom" before I watched it. I only found out when I watched it. In contrast, I prefer Brian de Palma's version, and Michelangelo Antonioni's things are still more literary.

3. The story makes good use of the characteristics of the sound effect industry, and the overall feeling is very mysterious and attractive. (I just watched the excellent "Black Mansion Lonely Soul" two days ago, and also took advantage of the profession of a film recording engineer, and the effect is also very, very good)

4. The famous subway station in "The Dawn of Love" is chasing down the original bridge section. Originally from this "Cruel Line". Although the details are quite different, the intense tension it brings to the audience is still very similar.

5. John Travota performed very well, feeling very relaxed and natural. The unique hooligan phase was not very obvious at that time, ha ha, but the staleness of smoking had already begun to appear.

6. Nancy Allen, who likes to play Lisa very much, is a silly little woman who is in my heart.

    The sound engineer inadvertently recorded the sound of the presidential candidate being killed, a bit like the beginning of an enemy of the nation. Later, he continued to pursue the murderer and learned that the mistress in the car was a prostitute hired to frame her. The sound engineer came into contact with the killer through the prostitute, and the prostitute was later killed, and the sound engineer captured the murderer. The plot has twists and turns, and the story is still worth watching, considering the earlier era, three and a half stars.

    At the end, I was very excited. It was the part where the male protagonist drove to save the beautiful girl. The Palma shot is very difficult, and the bird's-eye view shot is so cool. The script design is also very good, but the ending is not as interesting as I thought. But I always feel that throughout the film, the director seems to have invested a lot of his own personal emotions. The ending is a bit cruel.
