In the 1950s and 1960s, in a shabby, desolate town on the border between the United States and Mexico, the town's police chief, Quinlan, is a corrupt official who uses his own judgment to solve cases and catch criminals.

[Last Film I Watched] Touch of Evil (1958) 8.0/10

Orson Welles' bastardized Film-Noir has only attained its quasi-full-fledged Wellesian treatment in 1998 (apropos of his 58-page memo to the head of Universal upon the film's chopped and re-shot original form), four decades after its release , credited to the meticulous re-editing endeavor led by American editor Walter Murch. This restored version (the closest thing we can label it as a...

Hank's intuition was right

8.5 points, the movie is really good, not to mention the long shot at the beginning, it is very tense. First of all, the first picture is a close-up of the time bomb. Hank is also a time bomb? Then quickly an unseen person dropped a bomb on the trunk of a car, leaving two clues as to when the bomb exploded and who the bomber was.

Then in the tense long shot, the owner of the car first appeared, they were the victims, and the camera followed the car with the bomb. In the continuous...

The long shot of 3 minutes and 20 seconds at the beginning of the film has been talked about all the time. A drug dealer secretly placed a bomb in the trunk of the car. Then the owner and the woman got into the car and drove away. On the highway, the camera moved and lowered to a close-up view, then pulled back to a long-range view, and then lowered to a close-up view again. The male protagonist Vargas and his wife Susan were walking on the street, and the car passed them and drove away from...

Orson Welles' talent in film language is very advanced. In addition to the story, the composition and lens movement are far beyond that era. The creative movement of super lens and deep focus is perfect. He is indeed a film genius. The studio's editing is broken, as is the case with a lot of his work, and I feel the same...

The long shot of the opening nearly 3 minutes was great. Chinese movies today are not as good as they were in the 1940s and 1950s, and American movies are not as good as they were in the 1940s and...
