; Wouldn't be fair enough; wouldn't I be discreet enough
if I said this is the best killer movie I've ever seen; There are a lot of gray words that can be used to hit Jeff: lonely, cold, reserved, arrogant, cautious! This is not enough, in fact, there is another word I like very much, that is - simple! As a killer, Jeff is undoubtedly the most simple: pay, kill. Such a simple cognitive ability often confuses and entangles ordinary people, but our killer Jeff doesn't have such a plan. His fingers are used to pull the trigger, and his mind is used to escape the predicament ; It is the instinct of a killer, and it is even more level! The film genre is positioned as "film noir", but I think "gray" is more suitable for it. The whole city is cold, the air is cold, and even the dialogue between people is cold. In the sky that is always raining, there are large groups of dark gray cumulonimbus clouds piled up. It is not clear whether it is a space in the early morning or in the evening. The surrounding environment and buildings are gray-green gray-blue gray-white. Jeff's residence, the bird's cage, the noisy police station, and even the only lively club have a gray tone that makes people breathless, but not suffocating. This is the foundation of the director and actors, it is neat and not mysterious. Perhaps, we will be embarrassed for Jeff's ending, but this is fate! How bright and splendid can you expect a killer ending? Don't be naive, a killer's attitude and ending have already been shown without a bullet in his gun~ (It's just that he was shot by those stupid cops, and he said with dismay) "Samurai can endure the most unbearable things in the world. The loneliness, perhaps, can only be compared to the tiger in the forest..." PS - Although the background of the film at the time was the French New Wave film period, our maverick director I was not irrigated by it, but made such a big work of individualism, which is really enough~
