"A world that can be explained by evil principles is a kind world." There is no "kind and safe" world in "The Trial". Everyone is talking non-stop, but they are always short of breath, aphasia, meaningless, and even arguing over an unknown content. As a viewer I never understood what K was looking...

"Trial" is a legal word, and many images related to law are used in the story, such as courts, lawyers, police officers, etc. Many people say that this story is a critique of the absurdity of the law, but I disagree.

1. Orson Welles rewrote the boredom and absurdity of Kafka’s original work (partly out of linguistic form, partly out of K’s repeated but hopeless fate) into an expressionism overflowing with madness and fear intense images. 2. Excellent environment and space creation: ①A space that is too narrow or crowded—a bedroom with doors and windows on three sides, a courtroom with three floors inside and three floors outside and a uniform response of audiences, and a neat and dense screw-type The office lobby of the staff, the labyrinthine interior of the courthouse and the "concentration camp prisoners", the long and narrow stairs and the horrible tunnels harassed and dragged by piles of girls); ②The space that is too empty and desolate - the Bauhaus building in the wide-angle lens, the unmanned Streets, endless bookshelves and endless wilderness. 3. Tilt lens + a lot of elevation and aerial shots + dark and high-contrast lighting + sharp editing + treacherous soundtrack. 4. Perkins amazingly recreates the nervous but upright and persistent K, O Fatty as a lawyer and storyteller [in front of the law], as narcissistic as a confession at the end of the film. 5. The giggles of the hordes of girls belonging to the courtroom and their eyes peering through prison-like partitions. 6. New ending: Laughing and Exploding. (9.5/10)

A work of genius! There has never been such a visual experience, and the scene has never been seen by other directors. The legal status quo described by Kafka is similar to that of our country today, so the various encounters of the male protagonist are not unfamiliar to the Chinese. The solution at the end is very natural, and the director finally released our two hours of depression.
