The film told a story that a detective novel writer, being himself also an adventurous figure, had been trying to find the mystery under a case which a teen chinese girl is missing. The scenes of the film mainly set in the exotic, quirky, barpque chinatown(notably it's set in the 20's). And then, the writer's own illusion also leads the audience into a dreamy and catchy feeling. But it's hard to see this film's attraction to a common film watcher. I dare say, only Wim Wenders fans or post-noir lovers will craze about Hammett. I myself watch this DVD without any substitles(not that I am being cocky: my friend lent me this DVD without any subtitle, alas, I cannot resist the temptation of this Wenders noir film, so I was watching in benchs half-confounded to what they are saying but after all I am glad to be totally aware the milieu of post-noir genre that Wenders wanted to create) Nice film, recommended for noir fans!
结局:汉莫特眼睁睁的看着克里斯蒂李得了敲诈来的100万美元,杀了莱恩(当然也是她自己的搭档),远走高飞。
影片始终笼罩在导演刻意营造的,色彩丰富的,简直压抑的让人透不过气来的暖色调之中,再加上悲剧性的故事情节。
阴暗,颓废的气氛就这样成了这部影片的主基调。
总结:Wim Wenders致敬40年代黑色电影黄金时代的诚意之作!只有热爱黑色电影的电影人才能拍出这样好的黑色电影!
Nice film, recommended for noir fans!
