This is the last subtitle of George Cruzo's "Devil", to the effect of saying: "Don't tell your friends what happened to this movie, so as not to spoil their viewing pleasure." It is really quite conceited about the setting of the plot. . CC stated in the introduction on the back of the box that this was a film that influenced Hitchcock’s creation of "The Mentally Ill". The film also clearly has some shadows in the middle and late stages of Hippocrates. The writers Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac are exactly "Victorious." The original work. Suspense films and suspense novels face the same problem, which is to control the release rhythm of clues. Because of the authenticity of the image, the lens is obviously more brain-consuming than words (such as narrative tricks) in how to cleverly hide the facts. George Cruz adopted a subjective lens expression, focusing more on the perspective of individual characters that can be revealed by the image. On the one hand, this not only deepens the audience's (detective's perspective) fun in discovering the truth, on the other hand, it also hides the facts under the restricted surface of the subjective lens. It is specifically manifested in some scenes, showing a highly guiding lens design, or the angle of the line of sight is narrowed by obstacles, or the gap between the real time and the movie time is opened (a psychological illusion of jet lag), thus firmly Hold the audience's emotions firmly. In addition, this film is the same as the mature American film noir, and its depiction of character psychology, especially the distorted emotions under fear, is equally good. These essences are finally concentrated in a scene of Christina's "Damn", creating a perfect suspenseful atmosphere, and then pushing the plot to the climax in one fell swoop, extremely exciting! George Cruz was a major director before the New Wave, but his work also provided a lot of nutrition for the film youths afterwards. The focus on the plot, the real angle of the camera to the society and other elements are in line with the spirit of the New Wave. And he. "Devil" was remake into "Labyrinth" in 1996, starring Sharon Stone and Adjani, but like many remakes, it is not as high as the original. As for the plot, not much talk about respect for the director. In the theater age of movies, one less word will indeed have more interest. In the Internet age, information is unstoppable and unstoppable, so we all seem to have lost some of the ability to make independent judgments.
