      Nearly Bewitched by Scarlett - Serious Spoiler

      It didn't start until the last minute of the film, which is indeed a good film. Enough to burn your brain!
      The light and shadow switching at the end of the whole film revealed the real mystery, and Josh Hartnett's firm eyes also made me firmly believe that this is not a running account-style "suspense" movie. The seemingly chaotic editing and illogical context are the portrayal of the character's true heart.
      Serious spoiler: In the last shot of the film, the car on the lawn disappears...

      Rich people have very different lives, but I think their deaths must also be very different.

      Just read it, and I understand the same as the owner. The most fascinating thing is not the intricate case, but the human nature. "The lives of the rich are very different, but I think their deaths must be very different." This sentence expresses what the director wants to say most, everything is about money. Money brings evil and brings evil. The director is obviously not someone who likes telling stories directly to others, but likes to tell people his inner thoughts through storytelling. The...

      The coquettish woman is just a decoration, the perverted crime is unreasonable

      When I saw every woman, I was waiting for the hints buried behind the foreshadowing, but it was disappointing that there was no hint behind the foreshadowing. As expected at the beginning, a woman who looked like a black dahlia appeared, and all the previous The perverted crimes are nothing but simple killing. Although the editing makes people dizzy and the psychedelic colors fully confuse people, after these renderings, it is just an ending of "that's it" and "that's it".
      Of course, what...

      It's actually not ugly.

      I haven't read the book yet. However, I think the key is the subtitle that appears at the end of the film: INSPIRED BY THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER CASE. So there is no need to compare and compare the eight very seriously, it is not a documentary trying to restore history. ,FOCUS is not necessarily the murdered Dahlia, but a "40s-style" movie made under the pretense of a famous case -- it is not a failure by the standard of whether it is STYLISH. It was interesting when I watched it, I read it in...

    Strong visual thriller

    The picture of the film has a strong sense of the times. From character costumes to story scenes, the film is full of gloomy and solemn atmosphere, which is consistent with the general tone of that era. Therefore, it also affects the clarity of the picture and the saturation of the color. For example, the skin color of the character is always sallow, and the details of the dark parts are not particularly good.

    Sound effects add color and music to the topic

    When the murderer who killed "The Black Dahlia Haunting" described the killing process, he matched the characters' abnormal conversation and demeanor and fast-paced voice, which made the passage of the truth become quite impactful. It was a climax of the film. It works perfectly with the sound, and the sound produced has a good resemblance, which brings the texture of the film itself to a level.

    Movie quotes

    • Ofcr. Dwight "Bucky" Bleichert: [voiceover, upon seeing the letters "BD" carved into Kay's back] Bobby DeWitt. Who are these men who feed on others? What do they feel when they cut their names into somebody else's life?

      [pause]

      Ofcr. Dwight "Bucky" Bleichert: It was the case that made Lee's career. He never said a word about it and I'd never asked. One of Lee's snitches fingered Bobby DeWitt, a small-time pimp with a yard-long rap, as the brains behind the job. DeWitt never spoke the entire trial, never coughing up the dough even after damning character testimony from some of his girls, including one Katherine Lake, formerly of Siox Falls, South Dakota and looking to go straight. DeWitt got ten to life in San Quentin. Lee got Kay, or maybe it was the other way around.

    • Kay Lake: [after Bucky enters behind her] Hello, Dwight.

      Ofcr. Dwight "Bucky" Bleichert: How'd you know it was me?

      Kay Lake: Lee stomps.

    • Sheryl Saddon: Poor Betty. Her problem wasn't too many enemies. It was too many friends.

      Ofcr. Dwight "Bucky" Bleichert: I gathered that.
