Talking about the work of genius

Orson Wells, a well-known name, the teacher in film class in college took "Citizen Kane" as an example, and almost everyone would vomit it. I don’t know how the teacher intends to turn a film about the history of shadows into a psychological shadow of a group of young people, but after experiencing it firsthand, I realized that after watching countless films, I would feel a little bit about watching Wells’ films. To understand the benefits.
"Lian Jie Jia Ren", another ill-drawn Chinese translation, looks very elegant on the surface, but in fact it is much different from the plot theme, but the original name "Touch of Evil" conveys the author's original intention very well. The Quinlan played by Wells is the Evil, a typical bad cop, a respectable person who does whatever he wants. It is not uncommon in our society, and it is rare that someone dares to confront it. Vargas, who doesn't look so handsome, has become the most popular character in the film. He is upright, courageous, quick-witted, and loves his wife deeply. What he found out was the fact that it was almost obvious there, but because of the pressure of the environment, he had to pay such a high price, which made people feel the helplessness of reality again. This is still a Mexican policeman against an American policeman, the original author really has an idea.
Most of the film uses a two-line narrative. The police detect the crime and Mrs. Vargas is in danger. The experience tells us that the two parts should be very different in the plot, but the director is so unreasonable. Given such a large proportion of the time to tell the story of the beautiful woman's "horror", there is a tendency to abuse others. Of course, no amount of abuse can compare to Janet Leigh's later "Mentally Ill". In this film, another actress, Marlene Dietrich, made me recognize it at a glance. After all, the performance of "The Prosecution Witness" was so wonderful. As for director Wells, being fat like that is really embarrassing. Maybe God is really stingy with the genius he bestows on people.
I watched the awe-inspiring long shot at the beginning of the film twice, and I haven’t figured out how it was taken. The shot of the bathroom planted with explosives was boldly replaced with the expression of the viewer at the door; the position of the doors and windows of the hotel varies. The movement of the characters and the camera looks strange and terrifying... These are all genius pens. The most exciting ending, thanks to the blessings of underdeveloped technology, it takes so much trouble to make a secret recording. It is really a tribute to those who think of the bridge hole scene!

    It doesn't feel deep enough. And how can I look so ordinary in what is called the greatest long shot in film history. . Only a couple and a car involved, not much information

    The opening is gripping, but there is some confusion in the back, possibly editing issues. Wilson and Dietrich are the real heroes.
