I do not understand

I always think that traditional Hollywood movies are still easy to understand, so there is no other meaning at all. But when I met Bogart's "The Big Sleep" (The Big Sleep), I almost couldn't cry. When I am not blind to Westerners and sensitive to the names of characters, I really didn't understand or even figure out the plot (poker face). Even... even I want to find a book to write down the order and relationship of the characters (ahaha), I thought I had to watch "Dream of Red Mansions" back then and I never had the idea of ​​finding a small book to record the relationship between the characters. After all, "Dream of Red Mansions" is long enough. The relationship between the characters can be clarified. As for this movie, the duration is so long, the character appearance density is too high, and the plot development is fast and chaotic. After all, I haven't seen the original work, but it is said that a lot of changes have been made, and the cut is a little messy. Some character relationships are sensitive, so they are very cryptic when presented. I feel that many of the relationships are ambiguous and trivial. The only normal relationship is the relationship between the male lead and the female lead. The result is the director's hard work. After all, Bo Jia and Bai Kao This pair of children is also one of the gimmicks of this movie, and at least the female protagonist is more upright, otherwise how to make the male protagonist fall in love, and it is not suitable for the guidance of the three views. In short, I didn't understand it. When I was watched by Amway, I said that the movie was not easy to understand, and it was a complicated noir film, but I never expected it to be so incomprehensible. However, the classic lines in this movie are still very interesting, and bilingual subtitles must be provided. A careful analysis of each line is quite meaningful. Even so, it can't shake its status as a classic movie.

    3.5. With so many wonderful female characters, even the little girl who sells cigarettes in the casino is full of drama. I think the bookstore clerk played by Dorothy Malone is the most charming and charming. Although only less than three minutes of appearance, a few eyes and smiles overwhelmed Martha Vickers, who was fascinated by people. The glamorous charm reminds me of Martha Vickers. Marilyn Nash, the amateur who Chaplin found in "Mr. Verdoux", left unforgettable moments in the history of movies with just a passerby role. On the contrary, the heroine Lauren Bacall was stiff and pale, with a poker face from beginning to end.
