  As a representative work of Italian neorealism, Visconti changed from James Cain's noir novel "The Postman Always Rings Twice". Interestingly, when Visconti made this film, he did not buy the right to shoot it from Kane. In other words, this film is the least legal one in the "Postman" adaptation...

The title has nothing to do with the text.

Revisiting Visconti's 1942 business card, The Sinking, noticed a passage that had not been noticed before.

Visconti's old film, "The Postman Always Rings Twice" was adapted into a film for the first time, but the plot was simplified without the design and hint of "twice". Compared with the original work, the suspense and tension are not so full, but the performance of the characters, especially the...

The framing of the movie is excellent, especially its close-up shots, which bring out the inner world of everyone vividly. This movie is full of betrayal and pain, but in front of love, these are all insignificant. Only love is great, and love can help us overcome everything. This movie made me...

The Sinking is Visconti's first independent film. Before that, he served as the assistant of the French director Jean Renoir for four years. There are a lot of scenes shot in the real scene in "The Sinking". The camera is often in constant swimming and pays attention to capturing the external...

A veritable sinking, sinking into the parasitism and struggle of desire.

Nietzsche said in "Beyond Good and Evil" that "people ultimately love their own desires, not the object of their desires". Gino and Giovana, Gino and Anita are both parasitized by desire, and they also regard each other as the...

In 1941, Visconti shot "The Sinking", and the film was released after the war. After that, it was basically known as "the pioneering work of Italian neorealist film".

But after watching the film for more than two hours, I found that the influence of this film on later generations is not limited to...

The likes of Visconti and Santis opened the door to a new realism in the art of cinema in the numb society of Mussolini's political control, and its place in film history alone is enough to give 5 stars.

As far as the movie is concerned, the first half is very exciting, the techniques are delicate,...

Some simple ideas.

Both are also adapted from James Caan's novel "The postman always rings twice" (The postman always rings twice), Visconti's version is obviously more "adapted", more authoritative, focusing on The lusts of the hero and heroine are intertwined; the Hollywood version is a bit like a...
