On a hot summer afternoon in New York, Emma Jones gossips with other neighbors in her residential building about the affair that Mrs. Anna Maurrant and the milkman Steve Sankey are having. When the rude and unfriendly Mr. Frank Maurrant arrives, they change the subject. Meanwhile, their teenage daughter Rose Maurrant is being sexually pressured by her married boss Mr. Bert Easter. She does however very much like her kind young Jewish neighbor Sam, who has a serious crush on her.
The next morning, Frank Maurrant tells his wife that he is traveling to Stamford on business. Mrs. Maurrant meets the gentle Sankey in her apartment, but out of the blue Frank comes back home. He realizes his wife is upstairs with Sankey, and runs upstairs. We hear shots and see the two men struggling as Sankey tries to escape through the window. Maurrant runs out with a gun. He has killed Sankey and fatally wounded his wife.
Maurrant is apprehended and is led away by police. He apologizes to his daughter Rose, who will now have to take care of herself and her young brother without either parent. Rose's boss offers once again to set her up in her own apartment, but she refuses. Then she sees Sam, and tells him she wants to leave the city. Sam pleads with her to let him go with her, but she tells him it will be better for the two of them to have a couple of years apart before they consider becoming a couple. Rose walks off down the street by herself.
受不了Bradley Cooper这个油嘴滑舌本油，前段clut马戏团的情节加一星
中间确实有点冗长，但还是喜欢最后结构上的一个闭环
8，陀螺电影里的夜晚和黑暗真是太迷人了，奇幻精致，牛掰的摄影和演技派们拯救了平淡的故事，大爱托尼科莱特和魔王女士，其实马戏团内的暗流涌动更吸引我，后面却俗套弱了，而且反杀挺突然的，大魔王这条线也可以更丰富的，工整意料之中好看的那类电影，惊喜少了些。
跟影片中的故事一样，影片本身也似乎来自上个世纪，复古的基调，精良的制作，精准的表演，精彩的反转。前半段进展缓慢，需要点耐心仔细留意，男主为自己的未来留下的铺垫，悲剧总是因其不可避免而更让人唏嘘。几位女主和男主都贡献出了一流的演技…
从看戏的变成了唱戏的，从旁观的变成了参与的，从二流戏子变成了下三流的怪物。偷鸡不成蚀把米，你欲情，我故纵。瞒天下所有人之心，藏不住低俗下烂的把戏。穿梭于世界上如行尸走肉，只为可怜的一点点爱，一点点名，一点点利。陀螺美学一次大行为爆炸，把戏与心理斗法过程好好看。玉兔cp只是个幌子，不过全方位被库珀帅到惨绝人寰，快来🌿我。
确实很长所以我是两倍速看的，但是很能get到。如果后面真的有超能力就好啦。女性角色很平庸没什么创新。
这么些名角凑在一起，就拍了个这！？太尴尬了，我都替主角尴尬，为什么他们自己不尴尬呢？
2022年第34部：其实还不错啦，很吸引人的故事，没有倍速看完，原版太久远应该不会看。
属于过时的故事，现在没太多人看传统的黑色电影聊。而且故事进展太慢，很多观众估计停止在了前三十分钟。想要蛊惑人心的人忘了自己的心也是肉长的，心术不正也终将被其他的歪心眼儿打败。
整部电影的节奏都太慢了，一直在铺垫，铺垫，实在很难坚持看完，要不是陀螺估计直接弃了，当下的世界已经离电影艺术越来越远，在这样的环境下做复古没问题，但是这么陈旧和拖沓，只会离观众更远了
非常平庸的一部影片，支线臃肿，主线蹩脚……对重头戏的解读又是故弄玄虚而又无营造失败……尤其那个标本的多次出现，意义不大又让人反感……换那个收音机不可！？
比想象中喜欢 被诟病的冗长第一幕是最喜欢的部分 用马戏团奇幻世界建构出的阴暗童话 （去年看佐导在油管上算塔罗牌 今年读到卡尔维诺用塔罗牌创作《命运交叉的城堡》加上这部的倒吊牌 对曾经很排斥的塔罗牌产生了兴趣
The irony of self-fulfilling prophecies. Or is it an allegory for failing to take therapy seriously? The idea is good -- that everyone's opportunists in a hustler's world, except for the innocence that offers love and support with almost no boundaries until they get deeply hurt.
Cooper演得太棒了。
摄影服装和美术视觉方面就像入口就化的牛奶巧克力，你可以相信《水形物语》的导演在这方面的绝对质感。但除此以外真的就像一滩烂泥，又长又臭又稀巴烂。故事完全没有让人看下去的欲望，如果不是几个奥斯卡戛纳影帝影后级的卡司阵容，这片子绝对就崩了。我不喜欢这种明明不复杂但却搞得看似特别深邃和拿捏的劲儿。当然，演员没有提奥斯卡个人奖项也是有道理的。剧情限制了演员的发挥，太拿架子了，看的让人不舒服。
看的时候觉得是个很老派的故事，有种特别的冷酷和直接，原来是翻拍的片子……现在的黑色故事反倒充斥着矫情和虚伪。电影水平非常一般，库柏演得还不错。但是男演员健身过度本体先于角色的存在真的不是啥好风气😑
华丽的空壳 属于眼睛得到了全方位享受 看完没留下任何余味的那类
sensational，30s的年代剧➕黑色电影，让我看3h我都愿意hh
已看一半。
就是太冗长了。故事的话确实是那种上世界老经典电影的那种感觉。但是真的可以拍的在简短一点，而且更加富有传奇性一点。
