real fear

Absolutely a wonderful piece of thriller! Decades-old films, black and white influences, deceptively simple stories. . None of these can shake the status of the world's greatest suspense thriller. The director's exquisite shots, wonderful detailed action descriptions, psychological descriptions, ingenious use of local shots, etc., really made my heart skip a beat from beginning to end. The last few seconds of the movie won't let you breathe a sigh of relief (the ending is ironic!) It's so perfect, I think it's a movie every man should watch and experience the real horror! (In the first thirty minutes of the movie, I actually fell asleep!)

Every second on the road to death is breathless. Some people are afraid of fear, and some people are desperate, and the final price is heavy, and it is not mere $2,000 that can be measured. (I didn’t expect to be able to watch French movies so seriously)

4K152min@SIFF. Most of the time, the movie uses a strong suspense to attract the audience, and after the suspense is over, it is raised with a black ending, but it feels a bit deliberate. And I personally think that although it is more than wonderful, the depth of human nature excavation is not enough.

Bill O'Brien: The Hell with the Union! There's plenty of tramps in town, all volunteers. I'm not worried. To get that bonus, they'll carry the entire charge on their backs.
Bradley: You mean you're gonna put those bums to work?
Bill O'Brien: Yes, Mr. Bradley, because those bums don't have any union, nor any families. And if they blow up, nobody'll come around bothering me for any contribution.

Dick: When I was a kid, I used to see men go off on this kind of jobs... and not come back. When they did, they were wrecks. Their hair had turned white and their hands were shaking like palsy! You don't know what fear is. But you'll see. It's catching, it's catching like small pox! And once you get it, it's for life! So long, boys, and good luck.
