The famous scene praised by Clockwork Zhang is very interesting

Watching Clockwork Zhang's movie is the most TOP, I vaguely remember that the local TV station released the original subtitled version, and I remember there are two scenes. One was a man who hit someone with a shotgun. When he returned to the police station, a group of old American police officers applauded and called him: Shotgun is taken. The other is that this man took a gun again and smashed his head into the street from behind. What is the plot, hen.

This time I read the explanation and found it interesting. Especially the famous scene of the male protagonist that he admires, I think it is necessary to talk about it.

The famous scene is the reaction of the male protagonist when he hears the name Rolo Thomas, and it is a close-up of his face. If you watch it in a movie theater, at this time, the male protagonist's face occupies almost the entire frame. Any flaws will be revealed.

His pupils dilated and his muscles tense in response. Then the eyes move to the left.

According to the microexpression theory, people generally look to the left when recalling, and generally look to the right when lying. That is to say, from the eyes of the male protagonist, the head will find: first, he is a little nervous or surprised by the name, and second, he is not panic, he really does not know him. So the head is suspicious of the male protagonist, but it is not easy to judge whether the male protagonist is fooling him!

So did the director take this into consideration when filming? Hard to say. First, the Twisting Times reported on micro-expressions in the 1970s and 1980s. The director or actor consciously applies it in the performance. The second, if not deliberate, is that the actor was thinking of the lines at the time. Lucky hit.

Cattle!

    9.0 The most re-watched times in the police and gangster movies, the top is the case, the complex clues do not mess with the narrative rhythm, the solid script is full of plot tension, the actors perform the role modeling, and all aspects cooperate seamlessly, and the climax of the dark night gun battle is completely possible. Make up for the lack of action scenes. Rise and fall are entangled in ideals, tactics, and the law. Ed has completed the three questions about qualifications, but Rollo Tomasi almost made people cry.
