This 1955 movie, if you look at it from the current point of view, has absolutely no surprises, because we have seen too many works of similar themes, so when we watch this drama, there will be no surprises. Anywhere that makes you clap and applaud, the only thing to be commended is the use of lighting and just the right amount of silence.
I have to repeat the conclusion of the title here. It is obviously unfair to look at old things with a modern perspective. If I were a film critic of that era, I could basically give between four and five stars, but for a film critic For fans who have been addicted to suspense movies for many years, he actually fails, because the lengthy prelude makes people feel very unpleasant to watch the movie, and most of the dialogues are meaningless to the direction of the plot, which is different from "Pre-Destination" watching a lot. The seemingly useless dialogue often hides the truth of advancing the plot. The essence of "Devil" is all concentrated in the last 10 minutes. These 10 minutes have sublimated the whole film, and the tedious 48 minutes before it seems to be less important.
The same filmmakers, some screenwriters can pull the audience's nerves from beginning to end, making the audience nervous from beginning to end, and some screenwriters can only rely on interspersed with a lot of nonsense in the plot to enrich their work, a 90-minute play , often more than half of the plot is meaningless, for the same reason, there are actually only two episodes in the film "Devil" that are worth aftertaste, that is, the third child in the main room kills her husband and the reversal in the last ten minutes, the other episodes you Even fast-forwarding won't have any effect. Everyone is fond of saying that the director's words "Don't spoil your friends" at the end of the film can indeed pretend to be strong in those days, but after all, today is different from the past, as long as You have read enough films, and you have nothing to praise for the last 10 minutes of the scene except for the atmosphere. The comment area is full of praise, as if these commenters have only seen this suspenseful movie in their lives.
