    The narrative form can be discussed, and the director's control of the structure and scheduling is still rigorous, but the simple plot is too childish for the content of a political...

    Any resemblance to real events in this film is not a coincidence, it is purely the creator's intention. The first half of Yves Montdang is three stars, and the second half of the handsome Tradignan is six stars. Jacques Behan only recognized it after reading it. His candid shots are very warm. The sharp editing that traces the truth of many characters and events is fun, the ending subtitles are so shocking, the idiot stays away from politics, Z is still alive in Greek, the age is very...

    What's even cooler than this political thriller is to hear Costa Gavras speak calmly about the storm in May, and the stories of the New Wave gang, how they fought against Cannes, and how they dealt with American invitations. The temptation to talk about his own attitude and views on the film. This is probably the most interesting post-screening talk I've ever heard, a tribute to the old...

    The rhythm and music are very catchy, and the tragic ending at the end is a bit deliberate, but overall it is still a pretty good drama. The conflict between leftist pacifists and "Christian royalists" has transcendental significance. The prosecutor's "smearing" of the murderer as a socialist scheme, the murderer's homosexuality, the seamless clips of news releases and rushing into the ward to question them all taste good. The street fights are photographed with a sense of reality. Z probably...

    Costa Gafras became famous, won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Editing, Cannes Jury Prize and Best Actor. 1. Pioneering a political film, directly adapted from Greek political events, criticizing the military dictatorship that came to power in a coup in 1967. 2. Integrate documentary and fiction, and combine detective films, police and gangster films with political theory and legal films. The whole process is full of tension and excitement. 3. Flying zoom push mirror and...

    "If there is any similarity, it is purely intentional." In 1967, while returning to Greece, Gavras read the novel about the assassination of the left-wing congressman Ramblakis, and immediately put it on the screen. It restores historical events with detective film techniques and half-hidden and half-revealing narrative skills, and gives this political thriller a comedy transformation (for example, reporters collect suspects, military high-ranking officials are questioned in turn), and then...

    Fast, brutal and dark humor. The prosecutor played by Trintignant is so handsome and unselfish, so although the director uses the last minute to tell you the ruthless reality, the first two hours still make you happy in the movie. How could Jacques Behan be so cute when he was young (but people can't be seen, so cute is the producer of this film, who is responsible for bringing up the golden statues of...

    See someone wondering how "Roma" was nominated for both Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars? They may not know that "Focus News" in 1969, "Life is Beautiful" in 1997, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 2001, and "Love" in 2012 were also nominated at the same time, and in the end they only won the best foreign language film! There is also a 1971 "Great Immigrant" nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 44th Academy Awards and Best Picture at the 45th Academy...

    Ideological diseases are like viruses, and preventive measures must also be taken

    During the Cold War in the 1960s, countries under the control of right-wing soldiers and police (alluding to Greece) sent thugs to assassinate senators in order to crack down on the speeches of left-wing senators at home and incited the people. Later, they covered up the truth in every possible...

    Politics, Cinema and Costa Gavras

    There are always hints about the emergence of new genres. "The French society of the 1970s was like an invincible Second Empire," says film historian Cicrière. "The period was full of money worship, widespread urban life, and greed for money, resulting in many real estate scandals, a political...

  • Matt: Hélène! Hélène! Hélène! They've all been charged, even the general. The magistrate didn't back down. You see? It's as if he were still alive. It's a real revolution. The government will fall. The extremists will be swept away. The elections will be a landslide victory.

  • Vago: This guy leaps onto the truck bed, lithe and ferocious as a tiger. He grabs me - and whoosh! Out I go into the street.

    Examining Magistrate: How did he leap?

    Vago: Like a tiger.

    Examining Magistrate: Before that.

    Vago: Lithe and ferocious as a tiger.

    Examining Magistrate: Yago used the same exact phrase.
