    The editing is smooth and precise, and the photography is very textured, showing the charm of black and white films. The story seems to be a very interesting symbol today, representing the damage to people's hearts caused by the Cold War. This damage was achieved by provoking people within a country to attack each other, and the most fierce people who shouted that anti-communist was the traitor. Today we are still living under the influence of Cold War mentality. The disadvantage is that the...

    At 8.5 points, I was a little confused at the beginning, and when the mystery was solved at the end, it was a great political...

    Cold War monument. In the dispute between the female square Q (the youth and motherhood), the communists shouted anti-communism instead, and they were the people closest to them, a satire of...

    The first hour seems to be a bit tricky now, the overall rhythm is slow, and the suspense is not...

    It's a gigantic masterpiece. The most fitting comparison would be Fuller's Horror Corridor. It does not do as cleanly as the latter, but has greater ambitions than the latter. The spy war is just a frame, with a psychological story inside and a political conspiracy inside. There is no one layer of meaning itself that is brilliant, but the combination of the three layers makes the story extremely sinister. The Parallax View, the New Wave business card for Hollywood films, has an entire paragraph...

    Hei Su masterpiece. Ever since witnessing the Moscow Trial and the praise and recognition of the People’s Liberation Army by Chinese and American prisoners of war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the West has always firmly believed that the socialist camp has mastered an "Eastern mysterious power" that can manipulate people's minds. But the truth behind it is that the United States is the "Yuri" who has always studied mind manipulation. Of course, the last "Sima Yi"-style research ended...

    The mind control part is a bit exaggerated, but Lansbury's mother role is really scary, and the psychological suppression is absolutely horrible... I have to say that Janet Leigh's role is not very...

    Composition design, camera movement, shadow effect, metaphors and hints, close-ups and details, a large amount of psychological externalization, calm and sophisticated rhythm, layered story advancement, although there are redundancy, the degree of completion is extremely high; political appeal is just the outerwear, the core The proposition is actually an extremely primitive mother-child...

    A few dreams are very special, but I don't quite understand what Leigh does in this role. . . Then I was really convinced by the camera brother, and when he took a shot of Sinatra, he put the focus on the shoulder of the person. DP should be furious. ....

    Cultural Revolution model play

    From the perspective of the Americans in the Cold War in 1962, this film is probably fair: the plot is bizarre and can almost be connected with science fiction; the famous beauties; of course, the most important thing is to fully demonstrate the victory of Great Americanism and the invincibility of...

    The Manchurian Candidate

    A top-notch political thriller directed by John Frankenheimer. The choreographer perfectly combines the political satire of the Cold War era with suspenseful stories, and the atmosphere is compact and compelling, with dramatic tension.
      The background of the story is the United States after the...

  • Col. Milt: [gesturing towards a pile of books] You read them all?
