    How do you comment on this kind of exaggerated performance, which is filled with stupidity and discrimination against women? The first half is okay, but the second half can’t keep up with the character’s thinking. Maybe I’m stupid. . Time is wasted, choose cellmates and movies...

    Is it a crime movie, a road movie or a gospel movie? I have a lot of problems but I like it very much. The children's acting skills are poor but cute. The same song is so...

    The symbolic meaning is strong, and the photography style in the second half of the period begins to show up, and it is beautiful. Cobwebs hanging in the night sky, toads on the shore still, a crescent moon reflected on the shimmering river, the two brothers and sisters sitting in small boats drifting slowly, escaping from the sinful homeland, it was...

    If [Hunter's Night] is mixed with a touch of color, it will ruin the atmosphere of the entire movie. Black and white are extremely gorgeous in this film, so high-contrast, low-key, and expressionistic lighting is the way out for Film Noir. The story itself is a fable that counts every minute and every metaphor. What happened to Winters's beauty on the screen last time either played ugly or was killed. Gish kills as soon as he enters the...

    The corpse of the woman in the riverbed is the bride in the sunset, the shadow in the waves, rippling in my heart, as a water plant, swaying in the water, wanting to escape? Hold up a long bamboo, tracing back towards the greener grass, full of stars, chasing in the stars, Xia Chong also silent for me, silence is the hunter’s...

    Film noir style fairy tale. Ever since I watched Psycho, I seem to love this kind of cut-off narrative. It feels amazing. Although I felt that there were bright spots when I watched it, but it did not reach five stars, but after watching it, I have not only been marveling at the classic scenes of female corpses in the water and the chorus of good and evil, but also reminiscent of the shots of small animals, the letters on the fingers and other details. The more you think about it, the more...

    Not a typical noir film, but the use of light is so "black"! ! I can't read religious metaphors for the time being. I just think that John and Pell are like little brothers and sisters spreading breadcrumbs in Grimm's fairy tales. Or the story itself is like a black fairy tale. John shouted "I don't wanna it, dad, it's too much!" to his stepfather. The defect has obvious jumps in several editing, and the follow-up explanation of Qian and the pastor is too...

    I feel more and more that I have encountered many classic old movies. Early is good, and late is good. The opening method is unusual, and then it resembles a common suspense film, but at the beginning of the escape to the river, it is surprisingly beautiful. The dangerous scenes all take place in the dark, and the end is full of...

    .

    Rather than classifying Hunter’s Night as a horror story, it is better to say that it is the adventures of two brothers and sisters. The role of elder brother John is particularly outstanding. The old woman exuding maternal glory gave Moses the temperament, his bravery and patience. From the moment...

    The Night of the Hunter

    A textbook classic movie, real classic thriller. Each frame is like a comic, the scenery, characters, and lighting are carefully crafted. The protagonist is actually a small actor. The innocent, courageous and strong character characteristics are also performed just right, which is better than the...
