Citizen Kane’s good, I don’t understand;

The good of Lady Lijie, I understand.

The long shot at the beginning perfectly shows the meaning of suspense. It starts with a bomb and ends with an explosion. It shows everything from the perspective of the murderer. The audience follows the murderer putting the bomb in the trunk of the car, the victim gets on the car, and the panoramic display environment. Cut into the picture of the car, the car is out of the painting, the protagonist enters the painting, and the car re-enters the painting. The audience has already participated in the movie. There is a time bomb, and it will explode without knowing when.

After watching this shot, I want to know who put the bomb and why did it happen? Yes, there are goals for watching movies. The movie Orson Wells shot in 1958 is incomparable to most of the movies released in China. Time sometimes changes things, sometimes not. How to tell a story with the lens is not easy. The fate of this movie is bumpy. The edited version of Orson Wells was rejected by the studio and the studio chaos. After the cut, Orson Wells wrote a more than fifty-page revision memo. "At the end of this memo, I sincerely ask you to agree to edit the film in my editing mode. I have put in many days of hardship. Work.” The current version has been adjusted based on Orson Wells’ written opinions. The film has some frame skipping. If everything is done according to Orson Wells, this will be a better movie.

Watching such a movie is a kind of enjoyment. On the border between the United States and Mexico, the crimes are so high that Trump wants to build a wall to stop those who cross the border illegally. This movie, filmed 61 years ago, is related to the current theme, but Orson Wells’s idea is unexpected. The Mexican police will play the righteous side, and the American corruption police and Mexicans will play the evil side. Unexpected stories, suspenseful; unexpected scenes, calm scheduling; unexpected performances, Orson Wells himself starred as the evil sheriff.

The murderer pointed out by the police chief was not believed by the Mexican police. The Mexican police believed that the police chief had planted the crime, but the final result showed that the murderer pointed out by the police chief was indeed the murderer. The police chief’s intuition was correct, but the police chief’s methods were illegal. The subordinates of the sheriff at the end of the movie liked the sheriff. The sheriff shot him, and he also shot the sheriff. The two killed one after another. This is the so-called killing in love. The story of Orson Wells is very advanced. People at that time couldn't accept it for a while. Marlene Dietrich, Janetley, and Charlton Heston, but Orson Wells performed best.

    Orson Wells just made it another day. 1. The opening lift + long track push mirror reveals and hangs, after the explosion, Wu turns to chaotic handheld photography. 2. Multi-line narrative, Wells plays the arrogant and corrupting sheriff like Citizen Kane, Dietrich said: Your future is all used up, and the night watchman is the gods. 3. Dark-adjust and high-contrast lighting, and more close-ups with a tilted elevation angle to create an anxious atmosphere. 4. Advanced destructive music, noisy sound effects and silence. 5. Editing is so wonderful. (9.5/10)

    Theorists call it the final chapter of film noir. After the shocking long shot of the opening, the photography becomes very weak, with a lot of low elevation and horizontal angle shots mixed with the desired effect and even a little incongruous. Although the whole film maintains a mysterious tone of lighting, it does not really excavate the real sense of Xiao Su from the social environment and the depth of the characters, and it is even a bit cheap. 【4/10】
