8.7 was taken away by the scene of the man and the cat. A lip-smacking Marlowe who makes fun of the whole film noir. From the soundtrack to the photography, it's all my favorite tunes. It's intoxicating, with a touch of lingering sadness.

Robert Altman's anti-noir film. 1. Marlowe played by Gould is too charming, kind and rambling. He went through fire and water for friendship, but was unable to return to the sky. It was as if he was thrown into the 1970s from the 1950s, and he was at a loss in this chaotic and lost faith in society. Hippie style after Kai PTA [sex is evil]. 2. The film uses a lot of foreground occlusion or glass shadows, plus fading processing, presenting a blurred, ambiguous and chaotic world. 3. As a cat slave, he was abandoned by the picky eater at the beginning, and could not be found after that, and then was threatened by a dog at the writer's house. 4. Hemingway-style depressive writer and short-lived young Arnold. 5. All kinds of interesting and rich details / idle writing: the security guard who imitated the old movie male protagonist (Stuart and Grant) to talk to the passing driver, a group of playful people who lived next to Marlow and practiced yoga half-naked on the balcony all day. The leather girl, the goofy stalker trained by Marlowe, and the harmonica given by the guy in full body bandages (think of [The Strange Tenant]). 6. Marlowe, who attaches great importance to ties, has a mantra that goes with the flow: "It's Okay with me." (9.0/10)

Roger Wade aka Billy Joe Smith: When was the last time you made love at the lighthouse on Point Venus in Tahiti?" Or out on the lagoon, that shining lagoon with the goddamn surf booming on the Barrier Reef? Or up on Whitney that night of the blizzard in the double mummy bag?

Roger Wade aka Billy Joe Smith: You know what I wish you'd do? I wish you'd take that goddamn J.C. Penny tie off and settle down with me and what you and I are gonna do is have a little old-fashioned, man-to-man drinking party.
Philip Marlowe: That's okay with me, but I'm not gonna take my tie off.
Roger Wade aka Billy Joe Smith: Alright, you leave your tie on. Now, I"ll tell you what I got. I got champagne, beer, Scotch, bourbon, aquavit, tawny port...
