The most restrained black classic

The god-level classic of film noir, it is said that every shot can be written into a textbook. When I first saw it, I felt that the emotional lines of the characters were handled very modestly. The male protagonist's life and death to the female protagonist and the intertwining of love and hate on the screen were not vigorous enough, but thinking about it, it left more room for imagination. The male protagonist and the good base friend have a strong sense of CP, and the ending of the cigarette-lighting guest-guest relationship is very good; the light and the shadows cast by the blinds make the film always shrouded in the visual experience of alternating light and dark, this erratic is not the heart of the character 's image?
