    Can't help but compare it with The Shining, the two have very similar in conception. The mental confusion caused by the hostility and unease of the environment is the ultimate cause of death. Through a terrifying perspective, it projects the depressed and depressed hearts of modern people, at the zero point of collapse and awakening, and will fall into the abyss if you are not careful. Stephen King's book is more mellow, precise, and pragmatic, coupled with old Nicholson's godly acting skills,...

    How strangers are driven to a dead end by their neighbors' subtle targeting and exclusion, psychological fear, self-doubt and projection, a series of terrifying illusions such as teeth in the walls, upright people in the toilet, and toyed skulls. Unable to buy cigarettes, silent fear of not making a sound, and finally have identity doubts and embark on the road of suicide. This film is too Kafka-esque, stacked beds, untouchable truths, impossibility of communication, indifferent...

    The comprehensive upgrade of Old Popo's own "Cold Blood" extends the internal pressure to the external terror. The foreigner is confused about being in a foreign land, and Polanski's performance has a sense of confusion. The front is more ordinary. The back is where the movie really surpasses the previous works. It is alienated and assimilated at the same time, and the infinite dream is shrouded in the reality of young...

    At this time, Polanski's focus is not on a sin, but more on the proposition that it is large and transformed, people's sense of distrust in society and the sense of alienation between people, and some small details. very...

    4.5 The Polanski women's clothes for help are so cute... It's so strange that it won my heart, the roundabout stairs, the unreachable flat water cup, the ball that bounced from the ground and the head (the feeling of depression in this section is absolutely, the victim after being rejected by the group) Delusions are inevitable, "I'll show you some blood. You wanted a clean death, didn't you?" Hope all thrillers live up to this standard, I'm...

    210615 [B-] There are a few scenes in the middle where the aura exudes is reminiscent of Zulassky's [Enchanted], and the overall shape seems to be more similar to Cronenberg's [Naked Lunch]. The entire apartment building appears in the film as a symbolic order representing absolute authority, a spiritual cage that dominates the body and mind of the characters, while the cohesion of other people's eyes on the stranger and the regulation of apartment rules and regulations are shaped by the questio

    9.0/10. ①The male protagonist gradually went crazy in the dull indifference and suspicion of the neighbors. ②Low-saturation and low-brightness tones; precise and skilful movement of mirrors/scene, especially like the long shot of looking around the outside of the apartment at the beginning (similar to the one in "Happiness") and the long shot of the male protagonist watching him before jumping off the building; compare The weakly dramatic narrative rhythm fits the depressing story content; the...

    This cold, wet weather is just for watching movies like this at home. There is a Bunuel style, everything tastes right! Naturally, she was overjoyed, but contacting Polanski was a bit heavy afterwards. Excellent...

    It is full of apocalyptic emotions about indifference and alienation. There is no family and friendship between people, only money comes first. Marlboro, which symbolizes the invasion of American culture, is suffocating like the hands that are tightening the neck. At the same time, there is also Romanski's confusion about his nationality or ancestry. No matter how you look at it, this French film in English is as cold as its...

    The kind guy is driven to a dead end, who is the culprit?

    The indifference of the environment and the exclusion of the surrounding people will form an invisible pressure, which will make a normal person become mentally broken down.

    strong self-reflection

    This film has a strong sense of self-innuendo from the director, and it should be Polanski's own experience to expose the social status quo of this "others are hell". As a foreigner from Poland, the male protagonist in the film encountered many unexpected indifferences and ridicules in Paris,...
