There are some shortcomings in Kubrick's early works. For example, the narration is very redundant. Of course, this is mainly to take care of the viewing habits of the audience in the 1950s. Some scenes and lines are not refined enough, and the ending is slightly sloppy, but the multi-line narrative disrupts the time. The method of the line is very powerful, the dramatic tension is very good, and it was completely ahead of the times at that...

cool~. 20190522BFI re-watched, and played two early documentaries of the library before starting. It makes me think that the narration, the emphasis on time, and the detailed portrayal of the emotional motivation behind the characters in the film are all from the style habits of library shooting documentaries. Watching it after so many years, I can still feel the highly tense rhythm of the film. It also reminds me of Soderbergh's "11...

The structure is clear, there are good lines in each scene, the killing is a little simple, and the strings are not tight enough now. The irony of the flying banknotes at the end is somewhat casual. Of course there is something interesting about...

Twenty-seven-year-old Kubrick is already ahead of the times. This multi-line narrative black crime film has an influence on both Guy Ritchie and Quentin. There are a few more voice-overs, but the dialogue is really sparkling, especially between the wimpy husband and the vicious wife, so exciting. The police, bartender, buddy, sharpshooter, hooligan and other three religions and nine streams jointly staged the big racehorse robbery, constantly retracing the preparation process of all parties,...

The narrative is clear and well-structured. There are multiple mirrors, overprinting and editing, complex but not chaotic, as wonderful as a kaleidoscope, and it was considered a breakthrough and innovation at that time, which was commendable. The narrative is tight, concise, agile without procrastination, and of standard length. Cleverly use character dialogue, understand the whole story. The lines are wonderful, with attention to detail. Gangsters, like artists, are respected, envied, and...

Hungry shocked! Killer and Gambler Bob 2, so are they all robbing casinos? So is it all one of them who leaked his mouth in order to please his own woman? So is it all a matter of the woman's lover? So is it all 1956? But the ending of the killer is really a failure! Will the airport runway allow puppies? How could such a shrewd and sophisticated protagonist not prepare a box for putting money in advance? All fools know that carry-on luggage can be so...

#Collage# refers to the use of certain visual or verbal references from other films in a film. In fact, an audience familiar with these references would be proud to belong to the cinephile elite because he saw the collage in the movie, because most audiences don't. The reference film for "Reservoir Dogs" is the robbery film "The Killer" that includes flashbacks from different characters'...

Adapted from the thriller novel "Break in Two". Kubrick's best work in a lesser-known early film (in fact, it can be called another masterpiece that has been obscured in front of many masterpieces), who would have guessed that he was only 28 years old at this time? The biggest advantage of the movie is its clarity - it adopts multi-line and cross-narrative, but the characters and plot are clear and impressive. success". In fact, there is a similar setting to "Kiss of the Killer", but it extends...
