      Turn\Maojian: Plum Rain and Melville

      I didn't watch the movie, but I was itchy because of this comment.

      Every year the film festival comes as scheduled, and every year Huang Meiyu comes as scheduled, and when I put away my umbrella and settle down, the movie starts, and the rain on the screen is heavier than outside.

      Melville's heavy rain, clattering down directly on us, "Big Dawn" came across. Four men and one car, all with top hats and long trench coats, the gangsters are dead, and the ending of the movie...

      Color film with black and white effect

      Recently, there are often Alain Delon's films, which are very old. The one I watched yesterday was not very good, at least Alain Delon's performance was mediocre. But the director's technique is still worth seeing, and a very simple plot can still attract people and be considered a success.

      I checked the reviews on the Internet today and noticed an important phenomenon. This is a color movie but the impression it gives is black and white. Indeed, today, when I thought about it, I...

      A good director has quirks

      Probably everyone who likes John Woo and To Qifeng knows that they are deeply influenced by Melville. The legend is to pay tribute to this Great Dawn, but apart from the relationship between the characters of two men, one woman, one good and one evil, the others are really a little side. It's not reliable, but I can see a lot of Melville's tactics. The lines are always so few that you can play silence on a phone call. He likes to use tasks and shots to show the plot. This kind of plot is...

      posthumous work

      The rhythm is not as tense as the Red Circle Killer Shadow Force, which is still passable. Two lines are interspersed. According to the sentence at the beginning, the main line and perspective of the film should be Alan, but the criminals have a lot of drama, and the main and secondary are not very clear. But generally speaking, the content is still very clear. This time Alan actually played the policeman, and the criminals finally betrayed each other. May began to shake off her past pursuit...

      Un flic a decent cop

      The concept of New Wave movies has penetrated into subsequent film productions over time, and people no longer mention or even think of New Wave movies. However, this does not affect the great contribution of this wave to the development of movies.

      Melville Jean-Pierre Melville is a pioneer and representative of the new wave film, among his 5 pinnacles, this one "un flic da Dawn" (by the way, I don't understand why the name of the film is...

      How do you understand the words of Jurgen Vidok inscribed in this film? In the play, Delong's male protagonist once repeated this sentence when he analyzed himself, "The police work makes us suspicious. The only emotions humans give to the police are indifference and contempt." ... With the lines, Delong finally got a head full of black backlighting. Department outline. Why must Melville's classic police casting mode be changed, and the top puppet male god must be played and named the film?...

      Paul closed the bathroom door again after the incident was revealed, just like when he went home after the first robbery, his wife asked him about his employment, and when he reached the dilemma of his life, he finally swallowed a gun and committed suicide. As a police detective, but I feel that Melville is more concerned about those criminals who are desperate. The cool blue tone, the scheduling of sight lines, especially the robbery characters in the opening scene are the most brilliant. The...
