    Beautiful photography, beautiful editing, beautiful light and shade, beautiful geometric segmentation, and beautiful atmosphere creation. When the bloated face of Orson Welles emerges from the shadows, all film noir is defeated. To meet expressionism with a romantic heart, I think this is the crown of "The Third Man", and its climax even makes shadows, water currents and physical instruments have life and...

    Killed friends, failed to take over, all kinds of information came too in line with the plot. The use of light and shadow is impressive. The second time: I go, it is a completely different film. The buildings and ruins of post-war Vienna, the slanted composition of the indoor scene, the exterior scene where the flower pots are switched, the empty scene of the soundtrack before the climax, the chase of the sewer, the index finger sticking out of the manhole cover, and the injured eyes of Wells,...

    I think there is real reason to suspect that the curator is secretly putting together the complete works of Goddess Alida... The love story of Fatty and Graham (crossed out) (this is admitted by Anna), although Mr. Green thinks he wrote it The novel is not as good as the movie, but it is quite in line with Green's style. After all, he has never wanted to pretend to be sophisticated and always hopes that readers and audiences will be happy; the light and shadow game of film noir is superb, but...

    These people are corrupted by money, but he is corrupted by emotion. In comparison, love is more dangerous than money, because love has no fixed price. A person who is accustomed to accepting bribes can be reliable until the bribes do not reach a certain number, but feelings may flood a person's heart just because of a name, a photo, or even a nostalgic...

    #Northern Film Festival Review# 1. The artistic value or commercial success of a film is inseparable from the creation of visual effects, because visual effects play a leading and irreplaceable role in the art of film. The main artistic feature of The Third Man is its oblique composition in terms of visual effects. 2. Vienna, which was in ruins after the war, was cut into four military areas by the Allied forces of the four countries, huge Ferris wheel, old and cold buildings, the underground...

    The opposition of the forces of the Four Kingdoms, the opposition between the ground and the underground, and even the opposition between the stream of consciousness and the popular. The ubiquitous opposition leads to singleness and deprivation: there is no Renaissance with a century of peace, trying to obliterate the fraternity of all beings, and stabilizing the moral balance, but the past and the past are lost in agony. Just like the excitement and helpless singleness of the zither in the...

    The male pig who has done his conscience and duty but lost his friendship and love, the cunning and black-hearted man who cheats and seeks fortune, the second male who does not recognize his fake death and then the real death, and the loyal female pig who does not distinguish between the good and the bad, it feels okay. The similar scenes at the beginning and end of the film are all mourning for the second male. I thought it was true in the front and it turned out to be true in the back, a...

    A worthy and classic title, although this famous British director is not as famous as Hitchcock and David, but this one is enough to be immortal. Although Orson Welles' radiance may have taken away a lot of glory, but Director Reed has since From the script, to the special supporting roles of the actors, to the photography, lighting and art, they are all specially arranged, with unique ingenuity. The soundtrack has been selected from the most down-to-earth musical instruments in Austria. It has...

    Great light and shadow, great fable. 20160718, BFI Southbank. This is the third time I've seen it. Justice, friendship and love. Stretching the character's stretch with suspense, it explodes at the end. A timeless old...

    Begins with a funeral and ends with a funeral

    It begins with a funeral and ends with a funeral. The two in-car viewpoint shots from the same angle lead to two different roads. The first sight is full of yearning for a marriage, but the latter one has become a stranger. The long shot of the desolate street, the male protagonist leaning on the...

    third person

    This film, based on a short story by Graham Green (who also wrote "The Quiet American" I watched two days ago), has a high status in film history, especially in British film history. He won the Palme d'Or for Best Film at the 3rd Cannes Film Festival and the Best British Film at the 3rd BAFTA. What...

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.
