Arsenic and Old Lace

Arsenic and Old Lace

In an apartment in Brooklyn, New York, two old ladies who looked very kind and kind on the surface lived. Unexpectedly, they used the poisoned liquor they brewed to kill some lonely old men who visited. This secret was discovered by accident by their nephew Gary Grant, how should we deal with the aftermath?
Adapted from a famous Broadway stage play, filmed in 1941 by the famous director Frank Capra. Since the beginning of World War II, I am afraid that the content of the film will have a bad influence on the hearts of the world, so it was delayed until 1944, which was the latter part of the war, before it was officially released. In fact, this is just a black comedy with a peculiar conception, and it is not toxic in itself. Behind the joy of fun, this film tells the bleak evening scene of the elderly lacking care: Death is their greatest relief, and murder has become a kind of expression of goodwill. The theme of the story is quite reflective.

    Cary Grant is exaggerating

    Watching two God-given movies in one night. This is a comedy, and a few ancestral lunatics are just stupid (although I didn't know the setting of my aunt is a lunatic woman at first, but after seeing it, it can only be a lunatic woman), but in order to make jokes, the male pig and his girlfriend are written as Stupid and incompetent, ignorant of alertness, seriousness and so-called, not only not funny but also very annoying. Because of the crime of murder, the audience will silently presume that the plot has a sense of reality, which conflicts with the absurd and joyous atmosphere.
