Aha, the detectives in the typical sense are like characters from the once-rising cold-hard detective novels. They wear top hats, they are agile, and they endure hardships and stand hard work. They are not the neurotic Ellery or Poirot who is unpleasant in wording. They have a physique and a brain. Compared to sitting in a room and fiddle with a lot of magnificent reasoning, they walk the streets and alleys in a tall building. After the building is sheltered, in the narrow but ambiguous alley, under the swaying chandeliers in the empty hall, there are also the motels and small bars, "drinking a little bourbon will ease everything."
From "The Postman Always Rings the Bell twice" to "Dark Sting", presenting crimes so nakedly to us is the cuteness of the succinct style of the cold-hard detective novels and straight to the theme, just like the "Black Dahlia" The same is true for narrative.
There is suspense here, and there are plots that are almost impossible to guess, but they are crimes that are not hidden in the slightest, and they are both documentary and shocking. The process of reasoning was troubled and painful all the way, not cool but true. The truth is so merciless, but people always think that they are the only one with a secret.
I still remember the tears in the eyes of Dahlia in the black-and-white erotic shots. Everything seemed gray at that moment. The detectives with strong physique and water chestnuts were gray, all the secrets were gray, and even the New Year’s dance party. Gray-the happiest gray moment.
Generally speaking, I feel that the narrative of this movie is still fragmentary. Perhaps the fog did not trap me purely from the perspective of plot and narrative, but the atmosphere is very good, the oppressive gray and the moment reached the culmination. Hysterical. There is also the danger and the deep powerlessness of imminent eyesight, the deepest sense of despair and anxiety comes from the approaching black shadow, this is the apex of adrenaline secretion, and it is also cold-hardened and moving. place. Adding a little excitement is the same as drinking a little bourbon, it is a little hard to forget in your daily life.
