    On the boat of life, women calmly accept, tolerate, compromise, resist, and tease. Men are a cycle from child to camel to lion and back to child. A peaceful...

    [Cinema Replay] Polanski is shocked to be the first work of the heavens. ① The control and wrestling of the needles in Mianli deeply dissected the vanity and hypocrisy of the middle class and the perplexity and ignorance of young people. ②Subtle connotation, calm and restrained, full of tension, a lot of long shots and subjective camera positions. ③A scene of Aiji floating on the water, moving the stick & knife into the game, boxing radio with belt and high heels. ④The superimposed shadows of...

    It starts with a vague picture and ends at a stagnant intersection. With three people in one boat, the camera successfully played the role of a voyeur; suspicion and jealousy permeated throughout, and the "record" without a position did not kill the suspense, but rather provoked harassment. The knife that fell into the water has been pierced to the bottom of the...

    4.5 Desire, morality and superiority are the three animals that are secretly competing with each other. There are always people who secretly accumulate their strength under the cover of moral buoys. Who wants to sail in the dark waves of desire and beg for swords, although people always have to go ashore. The Chinese characters of the spray have a considerable degree of omission...

    Not much to say about this film. I just want to complain about the heroine, the aesthetic difference between wearing glasses and not wearing glasses is so big. That uncle only lives in his own...

    7/10. Polanski has made the struggle for power more intense through multiple position changes. The wife was in the driver's seat at the beginning, and the husband gestured to stop and exchange seats. A simple position exchange showed that the marriage was in harmony. When a college student intercepted it. The husband’s authority, he yelled at him, his wife sympathized with the college students and said nothing, the husband was jealous, ready to show off his strength, and at the same time...

    Alienation again

    Polanski's famous work has been nominated by Venice and Oscar. Since then, he has become an internationally renowned director, just like "Yellow Earth" to Chen Kaige and "Red Sorghum" to Zhang Yimou.

A middle-class couple met a young man while driving, so they boarded a small sailboat together. The youth is a punk who is always on the road, but why does the husband invite him to participate in...

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.
