    The composition is rigorous, the lighting is precise, and the pictures are used to shape characters, create suspense, and set off the atmosphere. Any screenshot is a wonderful photograph. Love and friendship seek the truth together, the dilemma between justice and morality. The civet cat changing the prince bridge section has been cited countless times in the future. Orson Welles' villain is full of tension and unforgettable. The Ferris wheel dialogue and the escape from the sewer are quite...

    The film is set in Vienna after the war in 1949. It tells the story of an American detective novelist who finds out that his old friend has been murdered, so he goes to track down the real murderer and find third-party witnesses.

The photography and lighting of the film...

    Anna: "I don't want him anymore, I don't want to see him, I don't want to hear him, but he's still a part of my life, that's a fact. I don't want to do anything to hurt him."; Orson Welles is just amazing…...

    20210312 @English Masters Exhibition Holly, who was wrapped in various ideological trends after the war, finally determined her belief in a dilemma and was able to stand in the light and shadow of the sewers. This illusory sense of accomplishment was certainly not enough for him to convince himself, so he had to get the approval of his sweetheart, and this moment was his last gamble. So we followed Anna in the fixed camera to get closer to the final answer. The isochronism here magnifies the anx

    Films like this are the objects of imitation today, both in terms of plot and photography techniques, they are all classics! The only thing that cannot be imitated is the background of the times! Different times and different backgrounds reflect different social phenomena. The reason why it is a classic is that some bridges or techniques are still being imitated...

    The editing and soundtrack are good, the light and shadow of the chase scene in the sewer are praised, and the last scene is also very...

    The last part of the tracking scene is very exciting. The use of the camera lens looks a little uncomfortable due to the cropping during the screening, and many of the compositions have been castrated. The charm of the black and white film is still there, but compared to Hitchcock's suspense, this film is lighter a lot. 20210312 Rewatch at Tianshan. Rewatch 5 stars. Post-war historical moments, or rather historical moods, are projected as geographic Vienna, with grand shadows, glorious ruins,...

    8.5 Stunning! Writers and actors are meaningful career symbols, one creating fiction, the other deducting fiction. Such as the language barrier in the throat, the happy and jumping soundtrack can always hold people's heartstrings at critical moments. Those bizarre urban sculptures on the streets of Vienna may be the real "third person" of this crime. The sewer is another face of the city. How much dirt is lurking...

    Movie Review: The Third Man

    7.5 points. I have heard about this famous film for a long time, but I am still a little disappointed after watching it. Judging from the current standards, the plot is a bit too simple, the villain's fake death plot is not well designed, and the mere writers are more powerful than the intelligence...

    7.5

    It has been seventy-two years ago, if it is a false age, because it was released in September. It awakened my memories of Diao Yinan's "Fireworks in the Day" - sudden death as the cause, resurrection as the truth, the Ferris wheel scene is very classic, and the climax of being arrested out of...

The Third Man quotes

  • Holly Martins: Listen, Callahan!

    Maj. Calloway: Calloway. I'm English, not Irish.

  • Holly Martins: Have you ever seen any of your victims?

    Harry Lime: You know, I never feel comfortable on these sort of things. Victims? Don't be melodramatic. Look down there. Tell me. Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every dot that stopped, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money, or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare? Free of income tax, old man. Free of income tax - the only way you can save money nowadays.
