I still remember watching Spielberg’s debut novel "Duel" (1971) more than a decade ago, and some of it was translated into "Speed Killer". A Big Mac with a burning oil tank, just because David Mann drove over his car, he had to kill David, so he started a fight between chasing and counter-chasing. . The strange thing is that, like the car owner, you will never see the true face of the killer in charge of this car, or what he looks like is not important, because he has become a killing machine.
I have to say that Spielberg is really amazing. There is no line in the whole article, only the indomitable rumbling and murderous intent. Ordinary directors may have been "killed" by this boring dullness. The movie has created a heavy suspense under the pressure of flames. It seems that David in the car must die. What could happen to the car, he had no choice but to run wildly. At that time, I didn’t know that this was Spielberg’s first movie, but I was thinking that two people were driving different cars, representing two classes. Naturally, the poor were extremely jealous when they saw the rich, so the poor had to chase the rich. The fate is impossible.
The weird thing is that a one-and-a-half-hour movie does not have a complete story as we usually see. From beginning to end, murder is equivalent to randomness. It is just two people, two cars, and endless curving roads. How can it let the viewer follow it all at once? To put it bluntly, it is a similarly neurotic person. A paranoid person must kill the car driver with all his strength, and then it depends on how the car driver runs like an ant. It is completely a game of cat and mouse, just like a mental abnormality. readily.
It’s just the repeated roar all the way, why is it still attracting people to watch it, and even later talked to a friend, he said: "You know, when I watched this movie in the 1980s, once I watched it, it was full of people. In the movie theater, I realized that I was the only one watching.” After so many years, I still feel that Spielberg’s small production is far more shocking than some of his major productions, at least in terms of internal shock. . For example, "Saving Private Ryan" is nothing but a condensed essence of "The Longest Day" and the strangulation of life and death from the macro to the micro.
Most people are accustomed to traditional movies, and it is difficult to accept such a movie with repeated images, but you still can’t forget those times more than ten years ago. From one to half past nine and late at night, you are obsessed with Hong Kong. On the English channel, although most of the movies you watch are Hollywood movies, you can also see movies by independent filmmakers like Woody Allen, and even some good European movies, such as "Deep Love" starred by Juliet Binoche. "Injury", this is no blessing to enjoy in the Mainland. Things have changed, these are not important now, but after all, it will provide a platform for watching movies, which is why I have become accustomed to the original sound image. What's more interesting is that you can still carry on the memory of watching movies to the end. In this sense, you are a blessed person in this world.
