Orson Welles' ability to design pictures is too great. Characters are often placed on the left and right ends of the screen and separated, symbolizing opposition and conflict. On the theme of the film, Wells is even more committed to exploring The deepest darkness and desires of human nature are referred to by the fable of sharks. Of course, the circus mirror scene at the end is really superb. The deep black and white lines have the shadow of German expressionism, and the multi-faceted mirror...

I actually heard Cantonese in such an early film. However, this Cantonese language is super unpleasant. The pronunciation of "Go squat" is inaccurate, and "the loudness of Westerners". . . Don't want to rant. The ending is quite creative. 1120 people have seen...

Whether on location or in the studio, Wells is a true cosmopolitan and a persistent traveler. In his multilingual country, geography is a dislocation of scenes, linguistics is a disorder of ideology, and the body always crosses boundaries unknowingly. When two white people pretend to kiss under the stage in Chinatown, the familiar elements have already extended far beyond their normal tension points. "The nicest jails are in Australia." Besides him, who else would praise the smallest and...

Orson Wells brought all the magnificent techniques and innovations in narrative conventions created in "Citizen Kane" into the subsequent films-"Gothic chiaroscuro, deep focus images, and trembling Dynamic range of sound tracks, contemplative dissolves, sudden cuts, overlapping and interrupted dialogues, and complex camera movements". This was brought to the extreme in "The Trial", and it can be seen at the end of the film. In the dark and cramped joy room, several mirrors with different angles...

A noir film written and directed by Orson Welles. The rhythm is tight, the first half of the trial is hidden under the surface calm, and the second half of the court scene is both comical (such as a person acting as a defense lawyer and a witness at the same time, and Mike and the two bailiffs fighting each other) and suspense, climax The mirrored labyrinth scene in part of the "Crazy House" was created for the first time in film history, and has since been copied and imitated by countless...

However, Orson Wells is really a genius. He can shoot such a dirty story and make people...want to plunge into it! His stories, dialogues, and shots are all first-rate and advanced. What's more rare is that Ya Mingming has a big face and is actually good at acting. Rita Hayworth's face is not small, but she is so beautiful, so beautiful that you want to forgive her for Michael. Really great movies are still surprising how long they are...
