    6.13 SIFF New Hengshan. The viewing experience is actually average. The copy of the film source is relatively old, the subtitles are even more incompatible with the timeline, and about 1/4 has not been translated. It is not Melville's personal heroic suspense crime, but calm to cruel, restrained to loneliness, it can be said that from the perspective of God, ordinary lens language, depicts the fatal despair. And the revolution, whether it wins or loses, has to pay the price of...

    Begins in front of the Arc de Triomphe, Nazi military music, German troops; ends in front of the Arc de Triomphe, the savior falls under our guns. The golden iron horse is the fur of war, it enjoys our weakness, it is the instinct to run away, it is the refusal to throw away a picture of a daughter in its arms. The good days of watching Gone with the Wind together in London, exhausted and no one...

    One of the classic works of the famous French director Jean-Pierre Melville, it describes the life of the French rebels in a documentary style. Not overly rendered, cool and...

    The shadow is the soul, and the shadow force is the soul force. The surface resistance is the Nazis, but the real resistance is the inner self. The extreme impact comes from the deep understanding of death in the soul. To put it harshly, the thousands of resistance-themed films and TV dramas made in China are not even comparable to Melville's film. The only one in the Chinese film industry that is close to the Melville-style static intellectual philosophical crime film style is the Galaxy...

    My Favorite WWII Movie

    I have never been very interested in the military. Although I think it is really cool to save the privates and the company of brothers, I was also fascinated by the eagle over London when I was a child, but these World War II movies and TV dramas are far from being called one of my favourites. I...

    man is the hostage of history

    This movie is recognized as Melville's masterpiece, and it's the third Melville movie I've seen. After reading it, I think this film can definitely be regarded as a model of light weight. Melville calmly painted the credible images of a group of resistance fighters in an almost line drawing style,...
