    The cast is very strong, starring in many American dramas. There is actually Scarlett Johansson, who started playing silly girls so early. Some of Beethoven's tunes are...

    The tone is cool from beginning to end, but the music, narration, and rhythm are very comfortable to watch, and the Coen brothers' style is on full display. What you owe will always be repaid,...

    15.1.20 Four and a half stars. Sin doesn't originate from anyone, it's being pushed around all the time. Thoughts of kindness and dreams that cannot be more simple only occur in the cracks of suffering. The hair is still growing, the gray people are still wandering, and the meaning of life is only clear after death. Whether it is in terms of imagery, metaphor or symbol, there are too many aspects, and I prefer to only regard this film as a kind of...

    The characteristics of the Coen brothers are that they are extremely calm and relaxed. This film is relatively cold, but it fits the rhythm of...

    Very typical Cohen humor, less talk, more murder, the level of chaos is close to "Two Smoking...

    Ah, floating clouds. The male lead’s cigarettes were one after another, which made me smoke one while watching the...

    After reading it, it is really depressing, and the UFO in the prison is enough for this person to live like...

    Thornton's face and acting skills are inexhaustible in black and white, and the man with less smoke and more feels liver tremor. Needless to say that the proposition of photography is cool, Cohen's soundtrack is my eternal culprit. What is noir to...

    The more familiar it looks, Thornton is the lead singer of The...

    After reading it, I thought of Song Jiang's presence and absence, haha. However, compared to the strong connection in "The Butterfly Effect", the weak connection here is even more terrifying. You are causing misfortune to others and becoming a victim of others without your knowledge, which is unpredictable and inevitable. No blood light was seen, but murderous intent suddenly appeared. There are several familiar faces from American TV dramas in the supporting roles, and there are super-loving...

    Not so pure black

    The Coen brothers' films are easy to recognize and seem to be a smorgasbord of multiple types of films, but after careful play, they discover a fresh taste produced by multiple deconstructions. As a result, the seemingly repetitive parts in their films have a reasonable understanding, and...

    "The Absent Person": The "Existence" of Absence

    At the New York Film Festival in 1985, Ethan Cohen said in an interview: "Mortals will suffer, sinners deserve to be punished, and people drink the blood of others and become humans." Now, this sentence seems to be against Cohen. The summary of the fate of almost all the characters in the works of...

The Man Who Wasn't There quotes

  • Ed Crane: [narrating] There they were. All going about their business. It seemed like I knew a secret, a bigger one even than what had really happened to Big Dave. Something none of them knew. Like I had made it to the outside somehow, and they were all still struggling way down below.

  • Big Dave Brewster: Japs had us pinned down in Buna for something like six weeks. Well, I gotta tell ya, I thought *we* had it tough, but, Jesus, we had supply. *They* were eating grubs, nuts, thistles. When we finally up and bust off the beach we found Arnie Bragg, kid missing on recon; the Japs had *eaten* the sonofabitch, if you'll pardon the, uh... And this was a scrawny, pimply kid too, nothin' to write home about. I mean, I never would've, ya know, so what do I say, honey? When I don't like dinner, what do I say? I say, 'Jesus, honey, Arnie Bragg - *again*'?
