Revisit the charm. In terms of limited viewing volume, this film and "Euro Express" are the two films with the best silhouette effects in film photography I have ever seen. I found out that the latter is also deeply influenced by the film. The same duality as Love&Hate is man & woman, mediocrity & prophet: misogynistic mood runs through the film, and it does everything to vent its malice towards women; what is more hopeless than evil is stupidity, mediocre conservativeness, Cowardice, loyalty, and irritability constitute the low pressure trough under the background of the times. It’s worth noting that the slightly abrupt close-ups and sound effects of cars, trains, and ships in the film are linked to the reason why Charles Lawton really entered the main line of narrative-the children’s father took the risk to relieve the family’s worries, leaving a legacy, criticized The core of this is naturally the survival dilemma of people in the Great Depression of capitalism. But from a personal point of view, the application of biblical stories in the film reveals the desperate mood of "people cannot be inspired by God and influenced by religion", which is hard to understand.
