Film Selection Transfer - The Trial - "The Choice and Creation of Adaptation"

As a film from 50 years ago, gossip scripts and exaggerated dramatic performances are inevitable, and the handling of certain plots cannot satisfy everyone. Apart from these era and personal factors, it has to be said that this is still the case. It is a responsible and outstanding adaptation, especially the absurd, anxious, mysterious and expressionistic temperament of the original work, which is enough to satisfy the readers of the original work. A film that combined these elements was definitely a very bold, advanced, and experimental work at the time. The film reorders and enriches the originally disjointed chapters, which greatly increases the coherence, and has the courage to integrate into personal interpretation, focusing the theme of the story on the indictment of the deformed and corrupt legal system and the personal struggle with no hesitation, which is easy to express through video. , complete and concise, and this theme resonates to a certain extent with the experiences and emotions of the director himself, which is probably one reason why Wells calls it his best work. In addition, there are amazing master-level editing, scheduling, photography and lighting, which can be seen in macro and details. All in all, it was a good start for my first black and white film.
