The Night of the Hunter Comments

The 4 and a half stars are largely due to the combination of film noir lighting and rustic and poetic photography. "Hunting" organically combines film noir and naturalistic techniques. The director uses a noir melodrama to narrate a fairy tale similar to a replica of Tom Sawyer's adventures. It is a film preaching the doctrine of Christianity, but it exposes the social problem of the hypocrisy of the church. Children bear everything silently as victims of the desires of the adult...

The opening shows that the essence of this work is a Capra-style fairy tale. Even though the film is full of shadows and darkness, it never wants to escape from this point. It is different from the so-called "Gothic fairy tale", which is a pure fairy tale. Contest with pure horror, and this also makes those horror, after almost comical interpretation, become more...

#重看#Most female characters are stupid, large religious sermons are boring and bloated; spider web bird cages allude to the shadow of coveting pure children, the animal world has an obvious metaphor for the weak and the strong, and the riverbank is a freehand sketch, and the silhouette of the devil is obviously under expressionism. ; The photography has good light perception, and the grain is...

Revisit the charm. In terms of limited viewing volume, this film and "Euro Express" are the two films with the best silhouette effects in film photography I have ever seen. I found out that the latter is also deeply influenced by the film. The same duality as Love&Hate is man & woman, mediocrity & prophet: misogynistic mood runs through the film, and it does everything to vent its malice towards women; what is more hopeless than evil is stupidity, mediocre conservativeness, Cowardice, loyalty,...

I especially like the setting of the split character of the pastor, who kills countless people while believing in God, and tells the story of right-handed love vs hate whenever everyone else is. This poetic intruder-style noir film reminds me of killing a robin. Suspense and horror will eventually fall back to religion and love. Perhaps the mainstream aesthetic at the time was like this. I have seen it more than once. Old Hollywood movies in...

Sure enough, it is a movie full of horror and poetry. The upper part is HATE and the lower part is LOVE. The evil part and the good part are very powerful. When the priest representing the devil and the old lady representing the guardian angel sing the same song The tense scene of good and evil confronting each other was really exciting....

The first half of the film is very good, and the shots of the underwater female corpse are particularly beautiful! But the latter part is very procrastinated, and the religious and preaching meaning is too strong! Spoiled a good film. And the design of the two kids fighting the villain is too naive and too comic. //20151213 Archives, the second brush of the big screen. I watched it again after four years, and it feels much better than the last time! How can my previous opinion words be so...

The suspense is not inferior to Hitchcock. His ability to portray scenery and human feelings is comparable to that of John Ford. The beauty of lighting and photography has surpassed William Wheeler. The talented actor Charles Lawton has only directed this movie in his life, in black and white. , With a strong contrast between light and dark. In the almost silhouette image, the pervert who combined the identity of a murderer and a clergyman became the protagonist. At the beginning of the...

1. If a person cannot distinguish between good and evil, it is easy to lean towards the evil side of the scale of good and evil. 2. The beauty of the film is indescribable. 3. No matter how thick the black is, there is also light. 4. We have always endured the hardships that life brings to us since we were young, and yearned for an exit, which was not brought by others, but the result of our persistence and hard work. We endure it! !...
