    If it wasn't for raising a child, I really couldn't stand the childishness of the children in the film. The filming method seems to be speechless now, but this is also the inherent disadvantage of super old films. The women, children and old people in it are so stupid that it makes people uncomfortable, but still watch it....

    (From IMDB) Did You Know? The sequence purportedly showing the preacher riding a horse in the distance was filmed in false perspective and was actually a midget astride a...

    "Despite its stylistic flaws, it's as creative as a child's retelling of a horrific news event. . . Traffic cop. It made us fall in love again with an experimental film that really dares to experiment, a discovery film that really does something new." - François...

    The beginning is amazing, the music and photography are very good, the brave little John is impressive, the performance of the male lead is good, it is a good noir movie, but the plot is a little...

    The light and shadow effect is very good, but the director is too idiotic to be verbose, preaching, and the ability to omit the plot is zero. You are making the audience as an idiot like you, right? . Charles Laughton is a great actor but not a good...

    is black enough. Pastors appear as perverted murderers, fathers appear as criminals, women appear as ignorant and weak, friends appear as unreliable, and the masses appear as blind obedience. In the era of economic depression and the collapse of beliefs, fortunately, an angelic old lady was arranged to save a bright...

    [Psychoanalysis and Movies] Hunter’s Night



    In the modern industrialized society, we don't need God. Science has brought the development of science and technology, and machines satisfy our material pursuit. How much human beings think that it is possible to move towards an ideal life in this way, to reach a utopian state in which the...

    Watch the film notes-"Hunter Night"

    1. The appearance of the film presents a characteristic of film noir and expressionism. 2. The aunt who tells the story at the beginning is full of allegorical meaning, and this meaning abounds in the film. 3. I very much agree with what Cherry C made in an article that is not very reliable. This...
