When the crows cry

As a fan, the allure of this film can be imagined. The feeling after watching it is not as cheating as rendered by the film reviews. Do I have reached the level of a murderer in NC? Personally, I feel that the film I want to capture may be the audience who came to see Poe, not the fans. This approach is the same as "Shakespeare in Love" and "Morrie's Love in History", that is, "joking + work plot reduction = alternative biography". It is helpless that both of those two have the resources to tinker with comedy, and what Poe writes, once cosplay is frightening. Anyone who was earnestly seeking reasoning had no choice but to shout for help. In fact, even if you take Poe's novel and copy it as it is, it may not satisfy the younger generation's own taste group. Because although he bears the title of "the founder of mystery fiction," he actually only wants to serve fright and horror. Intelligence and solving crimes are not his focus. The dark abyss of psychology is his favorite focus.

Sometimes when I want to come, Po Fen is a very nervous group of people. Most of the time when I was young, the kang didn't urinate enough, or fell asleep with the story told by Zhang Zhen. The "Patriot" in the film shows that their waists were very stiff, and they kept asking the author for murder and blood. Otherwise, don't pay. As the leader of "American Romanticism", you have to be reduced to Kong Yiji, amidst the laughter of the drinkers, you will be poked out by the bartender. For this group, reading and seeing killing people is not an "alternative" at all. But this person must not be killed without creativity. Therefore, the typographer's boss aura is the only sin in this film. The handsome job of editing both arms just now is still there, but now I sit down and play the poison game and the old-fashioned "motive confession", which is really disappointing.

Of course, the literati still use Wenqing as the top priority. So John Cusack came out. His temperament is not gloomy enough, and the solution is to find it on the nerves. In the hotel, "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water", holding a heart with a raccoon, and a compulsory course for a literati-fighting an editor with a "snarling body", they are all quite satisfactory. However, when it came time to memorize poems against the inspector or to grieve Chen's biography, he saw Wen Qing's usefulness. He can give this character the "persuasiveness" of being a writer and show the other side of his madness. Any great author must have the moment when he seriously faces the world. It hides behind all kinds of cynical, arrogant, mean and unruly. For some people, it may last a lifetime, and only the ink bottle and lamp on the table can see this moment. Poe may not be a detective, but Cusack is playing at least Poe.

Because of the divine writing, the crow became Poe's symbol, just like a pirate and a parrot. Even if it doesn't make sense in the plot, I can't let it go. In the beginning, the carriage made a police scene, and it almost made me cross to "The Detective Sherlock Holmes." Many viewers complained that there was not enough blood plasma (I was purely realistic, I think it would be better to add some internal organs to the "half-cut" scene). But if you can look at it while corresponding to the famous set of illustrations, the taste is not bad-seeing Emily eating soil in the coffin, I immediately think of the picture in the coffin that is penetrated by the roots under the soil. Frightened to the distorted picture. As for Poe's death, it would be great if it was so. It's a pity that it was just a case that could never be solved, and there was no clue.

In the final analysis, the world is not dominated by reason. In "Brooklyn Fictions", Oster told about what happened behind Poe: he bought a cemetery but couldn’t engrave the tombstone. It was so easy for someone to donate money to engrave the monument, but the accident was smashed. The tomb was repaired halfway because of lack The money was left for decades. . . This treatment was enough to make the uncle who hated Emerson laughed three times, and then returned to his soul. So, let's make a supernatural movie next time.

    A decent classic suspense film. The beginning and the end are connected and the story is smooth. Compared with Edgar Allan Poe played by John Cusack, the role of the base friend is more brilliant.

    It feels a bit supported by Edgar Allan Poe's works
