I think the United States in the 1940s and China today may be a little bit like that, there were both black-hearted real estate developers, and both the crime and shady scenes in the entertainment industry. Some real estate companies in those days used rotten wood to build houses, while some Chinese real estate developers now use bamboo instead of steel bars to build houses. There was "Black Dahlia" in the American entertainment circle of that era, and Zhang Yu in the Chinese entertainment circle of our era. Uh, this comparison doesn't seem very good. There must be girls in the Chinese entertainment industry who are more like "Black Dahlias"... It seems a bit too far away, let's go back to the movie "Black Dahlias". There is only one standard for classic movies in my mind, that is, the atmosphere created by the director of this movie must be reliable. Atmosphere is skill, and atmosphere is everything. And the atmosphere of "Black Dahlia" fascinated me. It was an atmosphere of emptiness, erosion, and original sin... It is estimated that one of the themes of this movie is the issue of original sin of wealth. There must be a huge original sin behind the huge wealth? Without the original sin at that time, there would be no "happy fat country" today? What kind of future will the original sin of some rich people in China create? This problem is too big to be discussed, nor can I understand it. Let's talk about another theme of this film, that is betrayal, which is the original sin of human nature. I have an inexplicable fascination with movies with the theme of "Betrayal", of course, provided that the atmosphere of this movie must be reliable. Why am I so obsessed with the theme of "betrayal"? Is it because my current life is so unremarkable that the evil side of my heart still cannot be displayed? Or is it because I am a crappy believer in the theory of "life imitating art"? Finally, let me talk about one of my doubts. The ending of this film gave me the illusion: Is everything in this just the babble of a necrophile?
