"Ladies and gentlemen," the show begins. A deep voice transports the audience into a magic show. The magic is not wonderful, not a plane, a cannon, a beautiful woman, but a key and a coin. This seems to be a trick that the warlock can only deceive children. The "warlock" is called Orson Welles. At...

This is a documentary, but not just a documentary. This was the last film director Orson completed. The whole film is guided by a magician in black (Orson himself), mixed with elements of drama and even magic drama, and the editing is very colorful and interesting. The main line of the story is...

And authentic connoisseurs probably won’t overlook Wells’ philosophy of counterfeiting, which Wells told Picasso through the mouth of Emile in the final scene of F for Fake, especially when the protagonist of Chartres Cathedral appears on the screen. The words he said were unbearable, and they were...

Orson Welles can make better movies than most directors with one hand tied behind his back. His problem, of course, is that for 35 years the hand has remained tied. His career is a study in lost possibilities: Having made a legendary film debut at the age of 24...

Wells' last feature film "Fake" is like Robert Greer's last novel "Repetition", and the creation of the great artist in his later years is still alive and well. Godard's significance to the film is to explore, to point. Wells, on the other hand, gave the film a whole new language, even an overly...

"Fake" is classified as a documentary, but in fact the classification of the documentary seems a bit strange. Like any noun in the world, there is no fixed criterion to cover all individuals of this kind. It seems a bit far-fetched to attribute "Fake" to a documentary for the time being. I prefer...

I have written other aspects of the film in the short review, and here I mainly talk about the style of the film that makes me feel uncomfortable. The entire film has a strong sense of individuality, and comments on events in the film are also very subjective, without the addition of third-party...

Documentary, as a new form different from film and literature, has a high degree of objectivity and authenticity. The recorded facts should be the only thing that needs attention, and the producer's subjective intervention and editing guidance should be restrained as much as possible. However, as a...

Orson Welles is different from other deception-themed films. This film is too boring in form, and seems to be exploring artistic value and authenticity through records. In fact, it is to expose the disguised human nature through the art of authenticity. In other words, the entire film is buried...
