At the beginning-the long shot of more than four minutes is amazing, the scene span is very large, from close-up to panoramic view and then to follow-up shooting, in this complete time and space, the purpose of the first half of the film and the main part of the whole film The characters are brought out, and there is information about their newly-married. The first half of the film mainly deals with homicides by bombings, and the second half focuses on the two things of the well-known police detective giving false evidence and rescuing the female protagonist. Regarding this film I find it funny, Janet Leigh still hasn't escaped the fate of something happening in a hotel, so that at this stage, I always feel that she is going to be killed. The relationship between the fortune-telling girl and the police detective is a very ironic scene arranged for me. It seems that after leaving him, his future has become unstable. The girl said at the end that you have no future. I can’t figure it out. Actually, the police Tan has never walked out of the shadow of his bereaved wife. He has never been a positive person, although he rightly said that if there are bad people, we will catch him. The character reversal of the detective is one of the highlights of the film, but since it’s the previous episode of "Gone With the Tribulation", there is really more than one robbery. The first half of it has been threatened by the family of the prisoner previously captured by the male protagonist and the police detective’s arguing. In preparation, the two lines complement each other, are very complete, and even have a causal relationship, which makes people feel comfortable and everything is reasonable. In the end, the parallel montage editing that the male protagonist was eavesdropping was really awkward. The script of this film was very successful in creating suspense. Apart from this, it was everyone’s nightmare where the female protagonist saw the murdered person on the bedside. Now many horror movies still use this plot, which can be said to be very classic.

    There is absolutely no malice towards LGBT, but I really feel that the gays in this movie are very angry, mainly "because" of the female protagonist who is annoying and not very annoying. This role is completely a trap, and the misogyny is irresistible. Whether it is the two villains, or the male protagonist and the inexplicable "partner", it is much more comfortable than being with a woman who is annoying and has become a waste character. Afraid that a masculine, iron T will be stuffed in incomprehensibly? ? ? ? The technique and aesthetics are good. The long shot at the beginning is quite troublesome, but there is really no need to be surprised. This shot did not come to life, there is no aura, and the momentum of the blue sky finally crossed the stinky ditch. It's the same story, the cannonballs hit the flies, so much so that the actors mostly scratch their heads in a nasty surprise. Looking at it this way, Dietrich is a good actor who is more natural and decent than others, even though her character lines are inexplicable.

    The film was poisoned by the filmmaker, and in 1998, experts re-edited according to Wells' notes to try to restore the director's original intention. This can't help but remind me of Jin Min's posthumous work. Is it possible that I have to wait for the next four or fifty years?
