From the point of view of the film, there are indeed many places that seem to be too dragging. The first point is the beginning of the film. Regarding the boxing match between Mr. Ice and Mr. Fire, I think this part of the pen and ink mainly has several functions. The first is to let the narrator, namely Mr. Bing and Mr. Fire, become friends and have an ambiguous relationship with Scarlett. The second is to describe a lost mentality in the United States after the war. The third is to make a background of some cases. Confess.
The function of the first article is to make Mr. Bing always in a passive situation. During the development of the story, he often falls into blind trust due to the importance he attaches to Mr. Huo's friend. The function of the second part is to show the mentality of the criminals in the case and the black dahlia at the time, which is mainly a speculative psychology. The third part is the line index header, which will be involved in the following narrative. But in my opinion, although these three points are very important, the director used a lot of pen and ink to describe these three points with a somewhat top-heavy feeling. At this time, I thought of what some comments said that many plots and wonderful plots were deleted for the reason of the length of the film. In this way, it seems understandable. The director used a heavy beginning of the original book to tell a story that was deleted by him, so it caused such a situation. There are obviously some problems in Parma's selection of the original work.
Here are the clues, that is, the skeleton. I personally think this is the biggest highlight of the film. The first one is about Nash, the second one is about Bobby, and the third one is about the black dahlia.
The film's narration of these three clues is indeed in place, mainly showing the combination of the three cases. It can be said that from the perspective of the narrator, what we see is only the third case. As for Nash and Bobby, they have always been in a state of preparation.
First of all, Nash’s case is very interesting. During the arrest, Mr. Huo rescued Mr. Bing. At the same time, a long rocker shot showed that the dead body of Dahlia was found. Therefore, Mr. Huo was like a demon. Dedicated to the case of black dahlias. Later, Mr. Bing learned from Scarlett that Mr. Huo’s sister had died tragically, so Mr. Huo had the psychological motive to throw in the black dahlia case.
The second case is about Bobby. When Bobby first appeared on the stage, Mr. Fire fell downstairs. The narrator of our story naturally thought that Bobby had found a helper to conspiracy against Mr. Fire, but at the end we knew that it was Dahlia that actually killed Mr. Fire. George in the case.
Up to now, three cases are clearly laid out together, namely the Nash case, the Bobby Bank case, and the black dahlia case. The first two cases have formed a single-line connection with the black dahlia case. There is no such thing as a pairwise embedment. So what we need to look at is the relationship between the first two cases and the last case.
As mentioned earlier, when the Nash case happened, the black dahlia died, and later, the detection of the Nash case actually restricted the two gentlemen's work on the black case. This is from an objective point of view, the responsibilities and A matter of time. In fact, Nash is also a pervert. It has been described in the movie. For such a person, Mr. Huo, a hateful detective, can easily let it go. Can the death of just a sister be explained? But our Mr. Bing just ignored it, and mistakenly thought that Mr. Huo had an unforgettable complex in his heart.
And Bobby’s case clearly analyzes Mr. Huo’s psychological motives more deeply than the Nash case. Although Bobby died when he appeared on the scene, he actually drew out Mr. Huo’s character from past grievances, a money addict. The fateful guy, of course, this also cleared the way for the development of the relationship between Mr. Bing and He Jiali. More importantly, Bobby's case marked the end of Mr. Fire's death, that is, George was attributed to Bobby's helper. In this way, the black dahlia case has penetrated into the Bobby case. It can be said that the Bobby case and the Dahlia case are complementary.
With the development of the plot, we will find a bigger clue, that is, why the Nash case missed. It turned out that at the scene of the Nash case, Mr. Huo used Mr. Ice as an excuse to kill Bobby’s knowledge in full view. As a result, there is also a connection between the Nabi case and the Bobby case, which were thought to have nothing to do with each other, that is, overturning the previously mentioned situation that there is no two-to-two embedment.
We can only see now that the three cases are actually connected to each other, just like a triangular structure. A connection between each of the two forms a stable plane. At the same time, we have also seen that the creator of these connections is precisely Mr. Huo. At this point, we can understand why the opening chapter of the novel uses a lot of pen and ink to describe the relationship between Mr. Bing and Mr. Fire, because Mr. Bing is a storyteller, that is, a clue character that the audience or readers can see at a glance, while Mr. Fire is It is a hidden clue character in the whole story. His greed and his cunning have organically linked these three cases together, forming such a triangular chain of cases. However, the author still thinks that although the opening is important, there is indeed too much pen and ink in the film. This kind of explanation of the two clues of light and dark is a bit complicated.
Of course, for the whole film, the pen and ink used in the three cases will definitely be different. Except for the two main scenes, the Nash case and the Bobby case are almost all cutscene, and the main story is the Dahlia case. But the connection between the three cases is very clear. I think if the audience can see the connection clearly in the film without reading the original, it should be said that the director has been very successful. . On the other hand, I think this novel or movie is good. The most strange and suspenseful thing is the existence of this connection. Otherwise, it would seem very common to pick up any case. Of course, the Dahlias are about all kinds of things. Various character temperaments and abnormal psychology are another matter.
Therefore, the point of view of this film is that the author thinks it is Mr. Huo's dark line. After seeing this person, the three cases and the connection between the three cases are self-evident, and this is also the story in this story. The essence is. Due to space reasons, the director lost or changed some details, but the structure of the original work did not move at all. It can be said that it is loyal to the original work.
