又见Renée Adorée与John Gilbert的合作,Besides,还有Zalla Zarana,Edna Tichenor,Betty Boyd之辈的女星出演了一下,哎呀,感觉都是些一辈子不得志的演员,可怜。
This is really one of Browning's best films. While the story is similar to most Browning-Chaney films of the period, this one comes off better. John Gilbert is excellent and proves an asset whereas if Chaney had played the part, he probably would have made it too much Chaney.
角色形象鲜明立体,不是简单的善恶二分,每个角色的行为都有其内在逻辑。
导演的叙事功力扎实,节奏掌控得当,镜头语言富有感染力。
好久没看到这么有港味的作品了。不是说它模仿老港片,而是它抓住了港片那种独特的节奏和气质:快、狠、准,不拖泥带水。对白干脆利落,动作干净漂亮,情节推进不废话。看完有一种回到小时候看TVB的感觉,熟悉又怀念。希望以后能看到更多这种有地域特色的好作品。
