absurd

Coincidentally, the tone of the whole movie, the character setting of the male protagonist, the main line of the story, the moral judgment of the society, and the psychological monologue in the face of death are very similar to "The Outsider". I like this sense of absurdity, which is probably the meaning of reading. I gave 3 stars because the character of Meursault is too deep. In comparison, the image of the protagonist of the film is slightly rough, and the plot is not as thorough as the words. However, this is a movie, and naturally it has the rhythm that a movie should have. However, preconceptions prevent me from giving 5 stars. Just like watching a movie adaptation after watching a TV series, I always feel that the interpretation of the movie is not detailed enough, which is probably the same reason.

The Man Who Wasn't There quotes

  • Ed Crane: Doris and I went to church once a week. Usually Tuesday night.

    Bingo Caller: B-9. I-29.

  • Ed Crane: It's like pulling away from the maze. While you're in the maze, you go through willy nilly, turning where you think you have to turn; banging into the dead ends. One thing after another. But you get some distance on it, and all those twists and turns, why, they're the shape of your life. It's hard to explain. But seeing it whole gives you some peace.
