Green window erotic shadow related film reviews

Mirror, one of Lang's favorite props. In M is the Murderer, Petro finds his identity exposed, and Tracy and Yang's longing for a better life in a rage are closely related to the mirror in the window. When joan bennett, the heroine of this film, made her debut, Edward G. Robinson, a professor at new york University, stopped to stare at a moving portrait of a woman in Leng Yan in the center of the window. Facing the mysterious Leng Yan woman who appeared like a ghost and her unexpected invitation, Robinson, who had just bid farewell to his wife and children, walked into her apartment involuntarily after midnight, although she kept telling herself rationally that she was "old enough to resist temptation and adventure". But before the romance began, disaster struck. The rich man who keeps women suddenly went home for some reason. As soon as he entered the door, he saw other men in the room. In a rage, the man jumped on Robinson and tried to kill him. In his panic to protect himself, Robinson grabbed the scissors handed by Bennett and stabbed him in the back ... A standard "femme fatale" led to film noir's murder. However, will the subsequent plot of the story really develop as the audience guessed? Edward G Robinson, an early acting superstar in Hollywood. He won the Best Actor in Cannes Film Festival for his wonderful performance of A Stranger's House (1949). But at the beginning of the film, when the man is tempted, Robinson is not involved and lacks emotional interaction with the heroine. Especially the eyes. Is it because its external image seems a bit unconvincing to create a successful middle-aged man who can be loved by beautiful women at first sight? Ha ha. But after the murder, when the story needs to depict anxiety, despair and persistent fear of the truth, Robinson's performance is as good as ever. But on the whole, it is not as impressive as the wise and alert insurance company claims manager in Double Indemnity released by billy white at the same time. Actress joan bennett did have the classic Leng Yan beauty unique to Hollywood actresses of that era, but her performance was only fair. The combination of the two stars seems to be favored by Lang. Only one year later, they starred in another more influential film noir Scarlet Street (1945). The shooting time was less than two months. Most of the shots were shot in MGM, Lei Dianhua and Paramount studios. The black ceiling and closed stage create a claustrophobic night scene atmosphere for the film. RKO is scheduled to premiere in Los Angeles on June 1944+00. The following year, 65438+/kloc-0 was released in new york on October 25th. The domestic box office of movies totaled $265,438+10,000, while the box office of overseas movie market, which just recovered after the war, also reached about 1.3 million. The biggest controversy of this film lies in its ending. At that time, some film critics pointed out that the film used alternative ending techniques only to pass the film reviews and box office. Lang denied this. What he said is not only a simple "harmonious" ending, but also a means to provide an unexpected suspense for the development of the story! However, some film critics who are always skeptical obviously disagree with the director's point of view. They think that the previous narrative forced Lang into a corner, and the * * * ending can make him get rid of it and find a way out. Lang also denied this. In any case, the veteran director has faced various debates in the media about the details of this film. Of course, film reviews are not all questioning. A forum in new york thinks that the ending of Green Window makes it easy to become a murder mystery drama as excellent and full of suspense as Two Girls. However, whether it was Lang's intention or restricted by external factors such as Hollywood genre film mode, this debate itself reflected Lang's embarrassing artistic creation situation after moving to Hollywood.
