    Full of sharp use of sound and picture (not to mention art, actor scheduling and camera movement), a true movie genius! In addition to inheriting the control of hitchcock-style psychological time, a simple story has written the character's inner "fear" (at the last moment, his fear drove him to destroy even the most awe-inspiring...

    Long and boring, based on the nostalgia for the western life in the 1970s, I read it frame by frame with great patience; there is no surprise in the praise, just a small suspense, and it is not worth spending two hours. A business spy is hired to spy on a man and a woman, aware that they are in danger, and the employer will harm them, but they are powerless to stop it; in the end, it turns out that the employer has been assassinated by them. Fortunately, the tone is not dark, so it will not be...

    Very interesting subject matter, this professional to paranoid character created by Coppola is very three-dimensional by various details and psychological depictions. This rather subjective narrative technique also plays a role in increasing the suspense and rendering the atmosphere. The use of repeated recordings is also very interesting, and plays a key role in the subsequent repetition of the...

    Three and a half. Psychodrama in the context of the time. Moral dilemmas and character paranoia are only part of the atmosphere. They are all over with the crime. The ending is unclear and cannot be clearly expressed. After all, it is trapped in Hackman's...

    In a way, it can be regarded as the eavesdropper's version of "The Lone Killer" (a human tragedy of life being exploited by occupation). The bathroom section is the most advanced tribute to Psycho I've ever...

    Although there is no earth-shattering story, Francis Coppola made a small suspense very well, and at the same time, the editing and sound also made the audience quite enjoy, creating a mysterious horror atmosphere. The film is like a strong and calm hand, gradually pulling the audience into a situation of fear and suffocation. At the same time, as a screenwriter and director, Coppola showed his extraordinary psychological grasping...

    The toilet bowl, the sound of the water pump, the telephone ring, these images are no longer aesthetic, but exhausted, reflecting the essence of your existence; love is not an action, but a stagnation in the expression, and the object disappears in the stagnation; the director completely adopts the anti-type film Narratives, not even jazz, can no longer be appreciated, but instead become a source of anxiety. Coppola took on the angst and fantasies at their core, redefining narrative and...

    The long shot at the beginning is very good. Who should be paid attention to in the flow of...

    Incredible characters, incredible film, with several "wrong" sound clips to show Caul's process of organizing events. The ending dragged on, but it would be near perfect if it were a little more...

    30 years of difference

    It is said to be a textbook-like application example of movie sound, which is really good. Only thirty years later, such plots and characters now seem a bit hypocritical.
