      [Film Review] Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) 8.0/10

      This dichotomous horror cinema progenitor which ripsnortinglydelves into the sordid underside of human psyche, is directed by the Hollywood's maverick innovatorRouben Mamoulian and made just shy of the scourge of Production Code.

      From its unorthodox opening sequences, shot with anovoid vision-bounded subjective angle, immediately viewers realize they are watching something novel, intriguing and challenging the normalcy of our ocular perception of the silver screen. Even...

      The soul is separated from the body but pinned in it

      Human beings always have a cognitive dualistic paradox for themselves. On the one hand, it is civilized but repressed; on the other hand, it is barbaric but real. What is true human beings, what is true freedom, can't say how to say. The tragedy of the film is that although the duality of the soul can be stimulated and strangled, the uniqueness of the body cannot be avoided. How hopeful that with a gunshot, the ugly hyde fell down, and our handsome doctor could be resurrected. However, we...

      Good and evil cannot be completely separated

      The film brings me not only the shock of the male protagonist's dual character, but also the thinking about human nature. Can human goodness and evil be completely separated?

      As Plato said, human nature is like two horse-drawn chariots. Each horse runs in a different direction. There is a bright side and a dark side in each person’s human nature. Therefore, we need the traction of the light to walk in the light. In the sun, the darkness of human nature has nowhere to hide

      Slapped for the second time

      From the beginning, Bach’s fugues were directly praised. I always felt that any part of the horror film would come back that year. The first time I was beaten was when I watched "Mentally Ill" in junior high school. The influence of technology and conditions could not give me much sensibility, and then I was slapped violently, but this time I didn’t learn a lesson. I watched "Doctor Incarnation" which had been dragged for nearly 3 years, and then again. It was a crutches. Originally called "The...

      "Ha ha! Today, the genius is showing off"

      On January 2, 1932, the 34-year-old director and 34-year-old actor released a show of genius "Dr. Incarnation"-subjective shots, editing control, and transformation techniques. It is still "ahead" today.

      Is the past really in the past, so long? As of today, July 19, 2016, it is only 30,880 days-my God! It turns out that life, life, and destiny can be presented in this number-today, do you enjoy and spend this day?

      It really deserves five stars considering the background. There are stories, characters, and performances. The Doctor's kiss when he first met the prodigal girl and left was explained in a modern way: it was just an accident. There is also the overlapping picture of the wave girl shaking her legs. In that era, it was very...

      [2022095 Incarnate Doctor] 7.3 points This is not a horror movie in the early stage, it is mainly about human nature. The gentle, rich and knowledgeable male protagonist has a fiancée. The two are very in love with each other and want to get married immediately, but his father-in-law told him that according to the etiquette, he needs to wait a few months before getting married (same room). Temptation, so he showed his evil side (wanted to do something with him), but was bumped into by his...

      Subjective, Long Mirror, Overlay, Vignetting, Expressionism. Instead of relying on stunts, relying solely on anamorphic close-ups of photography, and abandoning the previous face-based performance methods, Ma Qi played two roles by one person, and showed the duality of people brilliantly, "seperate two natures". Looking at the transformation process today is still full of magic, panning the camera to show the face and hands, I don't know how to do it at the time, and Martin did a great job....

    Evaluation action

    "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" made the plot of "personality split" appear on the movie screen for the first time. At that time, advanced stunts, almost perfect photography, and slightly overdone performances by the actors all made the film   . (Timeline Review)
    There have been 6 wonderful character transitions in the film, and these 6 transitions can be regarded as director Rouben Mamoulian's outstanding contribution to film history....

    Movie quotes

    • Muriel Carew: If you'd been ill, that would have been different.

      Dr. Jekyll: I was ill, my darling.

      Muriel Carew: Then, why didn't you let me know? I should have come at once.

      Dr. Jekyll: I wasn't ill in body. I was ill in soul! The sufferings of the spirit are so difficult to communicate.

    • Dr. Jekyll: I've played with dangerous knowledge! I've walked a strange and terrible road. Help me to find my way back.

    • Muriel Carew: I want to with all my heart. Take me. Take me soon!
