Knife in the Water Comments

    1. Polanski's first work, the human nature in "confined space" is treacherous, and an excellent endorsement of the word "subtle temperament" in my heart. 2. The composition of the close-up of the characters is extremely oppressive, and the audience is forced to surrender or agree, a very subtle perspective. 3. The male wrestling and power reversal represented by the "knife", in which the female role is quite subtle. 4. Dominant eye and riding waves in water are also very good...

    Finally, I saw the debut feature of Laosky's feature film. It can be said that it is my favorite among the few Polanski works that I have seen. The setting of two men and one woman is very similar to True who was born in the same year. The difference in Frederick's "Jule and Jim" is that the various innuendos in this film are more subtle and intriguing. There are not many three characters, but each has multiple identities. The eternal triangular relationship tells of love and hate. Love and...

    This water is too deep. It belongs to the kind that Hou Hsiao-hsien said, "It's easy and simple, everyone can see it, but those who see deeply can see it deeply", and Polanski was only 27 years old at the time. The story told by the prosecutor and the doctor in "Once Upon a Time in Asia Minor" was finished three times, and the source is probably...

    In the movie, the couple lives a life of sailing to the seaside all day long. Life becomes very comfortable and comfortable, but it lacks freshness and excitement. It is as useless as a knife in water. So middle-aged men are water...

    The delicate and small pattern, the establishment and breaking of the triangular relationship, the secret wrestling between each other, the theme revealed is a little more straightforward, and the lens language of the feature film debut has become...

    A triangular relationship is like a jib sail. It is stable when it is stable, but it is easily deformed in the event of wind and waves, not to mention that the three corners are not on the same horizontal plane; The boat is cramped offshore, with plenty of low camera positions + medium and close-up shots, and the limited composition space is often crowded with three people. In addition, the "knife in the water", which is constantly psychologically stimulating despite no real harm, creates a...

    The debut work is so amazing, especially the performance of the actors and the language of the camera lens. I especially like the scenes with several triangular compositions that show the relationship between the characters. I like the small space scheduling. The water knife is also a metaphor for the knife. And the change is really fun ending with a car parked at a fork in chaos...

    #重看#Strong debut, almost covering the most expert structure and themes of the mellow period: the undercurrent of three people in a closed (isolated) space, the mutual seduction and confrontation of the relationship between the sexes, the invasion and confrontation between the adult and the youth (young) The see-saw process of the counterattack, the hypocrisy and fragility of the middle-class marriage relationship, these thin masks shattered at the moment the knife fell into the water; a...

    The moment the jackknife fell into the water, all the accumulated power broke out in an instant. The hesitation before the fork in the road is the best summary; the 29-year-old Polanski made such a desire-entangled movie in Poland under the red envelope. It's so...

    Actually what I see is power

    I

    haven’t dared to watch this debut work. Polanski’s character relationships are already so skilled, there is no summary, no unnecessary people to pave the way for the background of the story (a total of three people), that is, where people come from. Go, after what happened on this day, the clues...

Knife in the Water quotes

  • Krystyna: [Speaking to the young man, comparing him with her husband] You're just like him... only half his age, and twice as dumb.

  • Andrzej: When I was an apprentice helmsman, we had a bosun - Krystyna, what was his name? The guy with the willow. He'd say: see that willow? It was an oak. If the bosun says it's a willow, it's a willow. "To the willow, quick march!"

    Young Boy: Shit. Excuse me. So much water in there.

    Andrzej: We'd sit on that willow maybe an hour at a time.

    Young Boy: On that oak.

    Andrzej: Willow, for us. And he made us go "cuckoo".

    Young Boy: Made you do what?

    Andrzej: Make a cuckoo sound. Like the bird.

    Young Boy: And you cuckooed.

    Andrzej: He wasn't all that smart but he turned us into men.
