    Elliott Gould is so handsome (¯﹃¯)/Various keynotes throughout the film/That macho is really an uncredited Schwarzenegger.../I don't understand who owes whom and why is it gone? how did it come back... well it's ok with...

    My family Marlow is not so talkative!!! I simplified and edited a lot later, especially the last blow, I think Marlow in the book can't do it (´・ω・`) Well, and the image of this version is different from I don't think Marlowe is the same. The more I look at the male protagonist, the more familiar they are, I seem to have seen them somewhere, so I searched: Mardan!!!! Isn't this the father of ross and monica in Friends! !...

    Adapted from Chandler's novel of the same name, I prefer this version with a different ending, Arnold's set. ....

    8.7 was taken away by the scene of the man and the cat. A lip-smacking Marlowe who makes fun of the whole film noir. From the soundtrack to the photography, it's all my favorite tunes. It's intoxicating, with a touch of lingering...

    In fact, it is a story about a cat slave who was forced to enter the dog-loving world. After meeting the heroine for the first time, the cat disappeared. Compared with his younger generation, David Robert Mitchell, Altman focuses more on the weakening of events, the characters and narrative are completely liberated, and the audience is always pulled by trumped-up forces. "Enter" or not determines the understanding of it to the greatest...

    Brilliant cat-and-dog cinema, a remake of the "Third Man" story reinvented as a clash of two worlds. The traditional police detective is a dog figure: following the smell of creosote, looking for a tugboat or a barrel; Marlowe Instead, he has a cat, which disappears (we all know how it is), and he has to go with it into the world of hostile dogs - the latter of which is characterized by the ability to take the silly and funny to the greatest extent possible. Take it seriously. The witty Marlowe...

    My idea for telling the story like I did came from Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye. It's adapted from the book by Raymond Chandler, his best book in my opinion, and it's really about the last remaining detective with morals. The ones around him are all corrupt, falling prey to the darker side of things. Altman filmed the story in today's LA, but his protagonist wears clothes from 1942, drives a car from 1942, has the morals of a detective from 1942. He's surrounded by modern-day Hollywood,...

    PTA's adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's "Inherently Evil", like a nympho fan, Robert Altman's adaptation of Raymond Chandler's "The Long Goodbye", but was turned into by Philip Marlowe With another person, the two films have done a good job in breaking through the limitations of genres. I feel that the current Marlowe is quite likable, mixed with the social chaos of the 1970s, and still has the style of film noir in his...

    Complementing the second brush of Inherent Vice, the two have great similarities in character setting and overall style. PTA has stolen a lot from Ultraman. Similarly, the foundation of film noir has a drunken hippie tone. The tough-guy detective who had endured many problems in the past became a cynical and muttering explorer, stretching, panning, zooming, and the lightness of photography erased the last bit of toughness. The person who wakes up at 3am to feed the cat ends up losing the...

    more desperate than the original novel

    Whether or not to read the original novel before watching this movie is definitely a Hamlet-esque question. Because if you have read the original novel before, then let me tell you, this movie has all adapted the storyline (especially the deleted characters), the background of the era, and the...

The Long Goodbye quotes

  • Roger Wade aka Billy Joe Smith: When was the last time you made love at the lighthouse on Point Venus in Tahiti?" Or out on the lagoon, that shining lagoon with the goddamn surf booming on the Barrier Reef? Or up on Whitney that night of the blizzard in the double mummy bag?

  • Roger Wade aka Billy Joe Smith: You know what I wish you'd do? I wish you'd take that goddamn J.C. Penny tie off and settle down with me and what you and I are gonna do is have a little old-fashioned, man-to-man drinking party.

    Philip Marlowe: That's okay with me, but I'm not gonna take my tie off.

    Roger Wade aka Billy Joe Smith: Alright, you leave your tie on. Now, I"ll tell you what I got. I got champagne, beer, Scotch, bourbon, aquavit, tawny port...
