    The first Louis Mahler, I can't believe it was just a debut. A deep movie made up of thrilling accidents, the opening is a close-up of Moreau, and then the story develops in an unexpected direction, about the contradiction between crime and lies, views on life and death, and a jazz soundtrack by Miles Davis It is very...

    I think of twelve angry men! In addition to the similar production period and the same blockbuster debut, it also evokes similar questions about the two works: the repeated use of core elements. Yes, the testimony of the black boy was questioned or even overturned by Juror No. 8. But things like guilt do not exist in isolation in a vacuum. The probability that they appear in a case at the same time but they are all unfounded is close to zero; similarly, the narrative path usually only has one...

    Reality and reality have no boundaries, beating right

    The director is really clever!

    I can't laugh or cry, but my attention has been held tightly by the plot.

    There are only a few characters, but there is such a wonderful, ups and downs plot, there are always many possible branches after each event, but the director has always used his humor and...
