Compared to the previous films of the Coen brothers, this film is the most intimate comedy, and it is also their tribute to Hollywood's black comedy in the 1940s. Although the film does not have the sharp irony of "The Thunderbolt" and "Snowflake High Bizarre Murder", it is yet another powerful attempt by the Coen brothers. In addition to their usual irony tricks, the film is also quite entertaining. , And the addition of actors such as George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones added many highlights to the film.
After years of experience, the Coen brothers have become masters in genre movies. After "The Absent Man" fully absorbed film noir elements, in the film, they look back to the crazy comedies of the 1940s and 50s, and incorporate their usual personal style into the overwhelming sense of nostalgia. The usual routine of hostile men and women falling in love in Howard Hughes movies was moved by them, and their sense of black humor is still strong. The two stars also performed very well. This is a movie that belongs to Clooney and Zeta Jones. Clooney and the Coen brothers have reached a considerable understanding. Their relationship is like Johnny Depp and Tim. Burton, De Niro and Scorsese are as perfect, and Clooney's elegance, cunning and joy as the famous Hollywood diamond king five have been fully brought into play. And Zeta Jones proved her undisputed star temperament and showed her comedy talent again after "Chicago".
