    As a Noir, the picture is too small and fresh. Religion, good and evil, etc. are indeed a bit of a...

    I have been a little tired of aesthetics recently, but the film recommended by Mu Shan still left a deep impression on me. It is worthy of being a classic, and I recommend...

    The handling of lighting and shadows, the background sound effects, and the characters' performances are all excellent. Even if I turned the sound very low, this black-and-white film that scares children still makes me a little...

    In a society where men are absent, it is mostly foolish women who are tempted by the devil. Thinking of "Forbidden Games", the child's innocence instead adds strength to the evil, making the story cruel. The actors' performances are a bit pretentious, and the underwater photography is...

    A modern-day version of Bluebeard, a sort of horror movie. Even in black and white, the picture is very beautiful, brutal and romantic. Except for Mrs. Cooper, all the women in the film are portrayed as ignorant, innocent and stupid, and in a way women are like this, which is really sad. The scene where the two sides sing the same song against each other is very genius, and the scene where the bad guy is caught and his son rushes up is really ingenious!...

    The layout of the screen is very delicate, it is the kind of delicate, deliberate but really good-looking. Robert Mitchum's evolution as a villain is really awesome, and that slyness is even more terrifying in the shadows of black and white. The lens is beautiful, but the whole story is too religious, everyone is talking about it, only the old lady played by Lillian Gish is naturally many, I have to say that the beauty is still beautiful after getting...

    It seems to be a religious film. Although the lines are capable and straightforward, they reflect a deeper meaning and are very...

    Record screen response

    1. In the film, the setting changes from a town on the upper side of the river to a farm downstream, which provides the audience a geological sequence of the hunting-and-hiding story. Moreover, the scene provides a symbol of time in the film, such as noon picnic and midnight killing. Overall, the...
