Old movies are also horrifying

This old film uses light and shadow very uniquely, and the script is well-written. It feels so shocking to watch it in the middle of the night, so that when I watched it half of it, I chose to sleep and had a detective dream, and I left half to finish it during the day.
Although I, a person who has watched many movies, took a step closer to the end to see through the ending, but at the time, Xiangbi was definitely an unexpectedly good movie. The saxophone in the movie reminds me of another movie with a psychedelic feel.
People like to express their true feelings with the opposite behavior, just like this film is accompanied by such a title.
And my ability to associate often troubles me deeply. When I see people and hear movie music, I start to wonder, where have I seen this special action and this special background music? . . You can think about it for a few days and nights.

Angel Heart quotes

  • Harry Angel: You think posing as the devil because it scared some superstitious blues guitar player and that witch and that nutty old man, you think it'll work on me? It won't because I know who I am and you killed them, and you're trying to pin it on me... and I know who I am.

    Louis Cyphre: [glowers but showing restraint] If I had cloven hooves and a pointed tail... would you be more convinced?

    Harry Angel: You're crazy. I know who I am. You're trying to frame me. You're trying to frame me. Cyphre, I know who I am. You murdered them people.

    [Cyphre shakes his head slightly and smiles wickedly]

    Harry Angel: I never killed nobody. I didn't kill Fowler, and... and I didn't kill Toots, and I didn't kill Margaret, and I didn't kill Krusemark,

    [Cyphre looks ready to laugh]

    Harry Angel: I didn't kill no-one!

    Louis Cyphre: [gloating] I'm afraid you did, Johnny.

    Harry Angel: My name's not Johnny!

    Louis Cyphre: All killed by your own hand. Guided by me naturally. Frankly, you were doomed from the moment you slit that young boy in half, Johnny...

    [Icily]

    Louis Cyphre: for twelve years you've been living on borrowed time and trapped in another men's memories.

    Harry Angel: Hey I wanna tell Winesap cause he knows.

    Louis Cyphre: Winesap? Oh he's dead.

    [shakes head]

    Louis Cyphre: Nasty accident. Don't worry. No-one will mourn one less lawyer in the world - there's death everywhere these days Johnny. But what gives human life its worth... anyway? Because someone loves it, hates it? The flesh is weak, Johnny. Only the soul is immortal.

    [his eyes chillingly shine yellow as his voice distorts]

    Louis Cyphre: And yours belongs to ME.

  • Louis Cyphre: You know, some religions think that the egg is the symbol of the soul, did you know that?

    Harry Angel: No, I didn't know that.

    Louis Cyphre: Would you like an egg?

    Harry Angel: No thank you, I got a thing about chickens.

    [Louis takes a bit out of an egg with a dangerous look on his face]
