Great novels can turn into great movies

I have watched this film several times, and the novel is even more famous.

This drama is very deep, and after watching it, there are many very unusual feelings. Many of the details that Robert Warren discusses in the novel are universal. After the Civil War in the American South, social problems were very complicated and heavy, and it was a hotbed of many great works. William Faulkner was also a Southerner. Warren's story is a tragedy in ancient Greek style that makes me feel very relevant. However, on the point of the tragedy of fate, he emphasized that character determines fate, not that God determines fate.

Like Dahir Hammet’s bloody harvest, I also intuitively thought that this movie could be filmed in China.

    Not very successful adaptation. The double-line narrative is changed to a single line, the rhythm is tight, and the characters are obviously flat. The protagonist's two major inner turning points are gone, and only one line of politics is highlighted, which is blunt. The male lead's skills are remarkable, but the second male performs well, but he is too handsome and does not conform to the original setting... The most annoying thing is that the prominent southern American flavor in the original has disappeared completely - as a political satire, everything is divorced from it. Those who talk about politics and economics are all hooligans!

    American Contemporary Political Observation Notes / Greatness is great, many details are easy to ignore at first glance, Stark and Annie's emotional line, which only started with a dodging kiss, is really awesome, but now From the point of view, it is too simple and abrupt, and then there is the part of Jack, who is obviously an accomplice but the incarnation of justice from beginning to end. After careful elaboration, Jack's narration took it lightly. If you don't look back, it's hard to find the beauty. In short, it's not bad, but it won't give a high score.
