Shallow grave

Of course, it now appears that some things in "Shallow Grave" are outdated, and some bridge sections and burdens are no longer surprising. But some things, such as human greed, desire, and naked exposure of humanity in the face of money, all foreshadow some timeless truths. What's more, this is only a 1994 film. At the time, it was conceivable to shock many media and film lovers, and even practitioners to a certain extent. Moreover, it is Danny Boyle's feature-length debut. The male lead includes Ewan McGregor, who will truly become famous in the world with him two years later.

These all indicate that this is not a simple small production movie. Danny Boyle is certainly not a master, he is just a young man with ideas and passion. But before any master becomes a master, isn't it a young man with ideas and enthusiasm?

London is an irreplaceable name and a phenomenon. Movies describing the life of white-collar workers in London seem to be inseparable from entanglement, betrayal and murder. "Shallow Grave" uses some pioneering movie shots and a textbook-like black comedy mode, so that these two seemingly disjoint movie languages ​​together create a taste of a piano and Xiao ensemble. The ending looks a bit cliché now, but it deserves a knowing smile.

At that time, Danny Boyle was only 29 years old.
