The story of the film is not complicated, but the director uses a wealth of scheduling skills to deal with the whole story with a sense of rhythm, and the grasp of emotions is also in place. At the same time, the lines of actor Fengding in the film not only explain the plot, but also become a carrier attached to space. During the development of the story, we can see the strong traces of the stage play. The upright officer has extremely high field control courage and actor scheduling ability. Although the shooting technology in the 1930s was very rudimentary, the director's skillful scene scheduling and long camera follow-up shooting Let the film not lose to many subsequent films in terms of visual effects. The tempo of the film is slow in the early stage, but the contradictions are concentrated in the middle and late stages, the characters appear one after another, and the climax continues. Although the film involves the criticism of American society at the time and the flogging of the crime and punishment of human nature, the audience can see Capra’s tender criticism and the shining kindness and tenderness of human nature.
