    Three and a half stars, the foreplay is too long, but the soundtrack is just right. The Ghost Writer is really a tragedy, some things don't have to be said, big brother is wathing...

    #Director#Polanski has always focused on how to tell the story accurately. For him, meaning is the most important thing, and the motivation of the characters must be very clear. Its decisions have always been in the service of tragedy rather than just aesthetics. Nothing is without reason, you have to figure out why you cut it this way. Polanski is very fond of editing, because he believes that editing gives the film its own...

    Or the soundtrack of Alexander desplat is more feel, every melody sounded, the scalp tingled. It's a little shocking, the story is undoubtedly alluding to blair, every detail is so straightforward that a fool can understand, and the British Prime Minister's wife is a CIA spy, it's so psychedelic. And this kind of film has not been boycotted by stakeholders in the UK and the United States, which shows freedom of speech. And Ewan's character is very stupid and simple. He believes in strange...

    Rewatching @filmoteca I like it even more, the gloomy and deep landscape, the silent walk of the camera, and the ghostly soundtrack create a unique atmosphere of suspense. Either the game or the destiny, all ended in the flying manuscripts, and no one knows it...

    The rhythm is slow and slow, and the narrative is cold and restrained. The atmosphere creation is extremely successful: the setting of the island is the same as [Desert Island Cry], the weather is cloudy or windy and rainy, the cramped interior space is caused by the minimalist furnishings, the main colors of black and white, and abstract expressionist sculptures and paintings (such as Rothko's Color Field Painting and Action Art) appear icy and oppressive. The long shot of passing notes and...

    Four and a half stars, Polanski returns to suspense, using political suspense as a crust to insinuate Tony Blair without any concealment. It has the typical style of a director, the music is very good, and MacGuffin shakes well. The last five minutes really looked like Hitchcock's filming. The ghost writer who wrote his autobiography and did not sign was just a "ghost", and the final ending made him a real...

    The biggest feature of the film is its late release. For most of the film, I have been laying the groundwork, fragmented clues, true and false information, unclear characters, everything is preparing for the final climax....

    Passing the note is very...

    Better than "Containment Island", Scorsese is never enough for Polanski to come. At the end of the film, the 10 minutes of Shyamalan's possession is really surprising and...

    Very retro style. Adding the ending song and subtitles in the last ten minutes, you will feel as if you have reviewed an old movie that is very...

    Sentiment is a chemical defect found in the losing side.

    I just finished watching the first episode of "Sherlock 2" two days before watching "Shadow Writer". Since then, I have been obsessed with Mr. Holmes' incisive remarks: Sentiment is a chemical defect found in the losing side.

    The British Prime Minister's wife in the movie is indeed a CIA agent....

    like hitchcock

    Don't be in a hurry to tell a story with a short time span, without exaggerated special effects, but the final result is still full of violence.
    In ten years, no decision was made that was unfavorable to the United States...
    Like "Inception", the casting was very successful, and the chemistry...

The Ghost Writer quotes

  • [first lines]

    The Ghost: You realize I know nothing about politics.

    Rick Ricardelli: You voted for him, didn't you?

    The Ghost: Adam Lang? Of course I did, everyone voted for him. He wasn't a politician, he was a craze.

  • The Ghost: Well all the words are there, they're just in the wrong order.
