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.

    Seven points. It seems to me that it is as charming as it is annoying. Love it's tech and music. I love long shots, split screens, rotating shots, overhead shots, and follow shots. Love the beginning and end. It's too bad for the hero to cry with the heroine in his arms under the fireworks of the Independence Day Stars and Stripes. But I can't stand the foolishness of the heroine. Women are about just pretty dolls in DePama's films, and I'm disgusted by that

    Early Parma, five-star recommendation in the first 40 minutes, and then the plot went inappropriate. The ending is good, but it doesn't match the overall style of the film
