"You know, an awful much is written about literature and much too much literature is written about movies. And a lot of it is written about as is a whole sort of people that don't desrve it, people such as me. They give me credit for innovations I'm not responsible for and inventions I didn't invent. Then other people come along and say I don't deserve the credit, well I'm here to tell you I never claimed the credit. I mention all this because the movie we are about to see tonight deserves all the credit that can possibly be given to it. It was made just a year after I was born. And there's nothing in the entire vocabulary of the cinema that you won't find in this incredibly complex film."

Wind in the trees is fucking boring

>>84184507
They are boring as fuck. There's a reason they are lesser-known and no one cares about them. Tabu, Sunrise, Nosferatu are all great but Phantom and the Burning Earth are on a much lower level. The only reasons I can imagine someone praising these movies is if they are being contrarian, have no taste, are fanatical Murnau fans or enjoy boring shit. You're welcome to them, I've got no use for them.

"Kiss Me Deadly" is the great iconic Hollywood film of the 1950s. There may be Hollywood films of that decade that are aesthetically greater, but none with more insight into America of the period.

I once showed it on a double bill with another apocalyptic end-of-the-world 50s masterpiece, Christopher Maclaine's "The End."

I remember the radio music scene. I'm sure critics are right about its connection to Hammer's "insight," but I'd like to consider it in a different context, that of the cultural references that occur throughout the film. For one thing, the Schubert "rhymes" with its negative other, namely the other Hammer-hears-classical-music scene in which Hammer breaks a rare Caruso record the opera singer owns as part of his interrogation technique. And, and this is important, his technique "works." He may "appreciate" music if it leads him to his goal, but in one of many signs that the film is about the total destruction of all values, cultural or otherwise, he is equally willing to destroy classical music if doing so also serves his goals. Not as brutal as those American directed naked pyramids at Abu Gharib, in the film it still comes as quite a shock, one of many little explosions, sudden eruptions, that prefigure the big explosion that ends us all. This pattern is enshrined quite literally in the film's script, when Nick the mechanic says "va-va-voom-POW," linking speed, sex and violence. "Va-va-voom" was a 50s expression that meant, roughly, "What an incredibly sexy-looking girl." Nick uses it to refer to the speed of a fast car, but at one point he also uses it with Hammer in connection with finding "a couple of Greek girls."

The Fugitive > Winter Light

>>84192474
The classical music reference also locates itself in the larger context of the film's references to past culture, particularly Soberin's invocation of mythology. These function as opposites to the film's twisted style, and opposites to William Mist's "Gallery of Modern Art," whose twisted paintings we see briefly. In the film, space is malleable, plastic, fluid, and is constantly consuming itself. We cut to high angles, to low angles, to images taken from behind bed frames, in a way that denies the imagery predictability and balance, and denies the viewer's feet firm ground. If in John Ford space is static and architectural, an old church building framed diagonally standing for the Euclidean lines that signal community and continuity, Aldrich's space here is utterly fluid and self-destroying. This quality is established in the very first shot, the credits sequence of a highway in which Hammer's car is perpetually consuming space that we can barely see, the highway's jagged white lines on black also prefiguring those black-and-white explosions (Hammer's use of thrown popcorn, for example) that occur throughout. Indeed, the whole use of black-white contrast, especially in night scenes, feels violent, and also leads us to the end, which is thus rooted in the "ordinary" settings of the film. Thus thematically cars are linked to violence too, which seems absolutely correct both for the film and for our nation as the last century: one vast and interconnected machine speeding toward its, and perhaps the world's, annihilation. Even minor characters at minor moments acknowledge impermanence. The man carrying furniture into someone's new home says something like, "House of my body, move in when I'm born, move out when I die."

>>84192390
It was so stupid. And having God literally talk to him, confirming all his beliefs, effectively negating the whole point of the movie. Plus it being stuck between wanting to be a serious movie and an orientalist action film. There was just so much that I didn't like about it. The only good scene I can think of is the second priest sacrificing himself trying to save the villagers from being drowned. Literally everything else was so tacky and showed how disconnected the director was from both the historical and thematic content of the movie.

>>84192511
This is also a pre-Interstate highway, pre-freeway film. A modern highway is multiple lanes, and designed with careful landscaping and well-planned curves to give the illusion of predictability and safety. Reflective posts on the side mark out the space, even at night. The two-laners of "Kiss Me Deadly" exist in a total void, bringing out the space-destroying nature of automobile travel just as modern Interstates try to convince one of the opposite.

The classic reference are mournful, elegiac. Nicholas Romano, we learn from the opera singer, was "sad for the way the world is" (quoted inexactly from memory). They are above all anachronistic: they signal a realm of learning and knowledge, of predictable and meaningful stories and symbolisms that the modern world has now passed by, just as it has passed by nineteenth century poetry and music. These things have been consumed by the annihilating speed of the cars that traverse our highways, spanning space and thus denying stability. Classical mythology and classical music and Romantic poetry are not Hammer's languages either, even if they may help him gain insight for a moment in a case he is pursuing for totally venal and self-serving ends. Hammer's language, instead, is that of physical violence. He even says that directly, something like "I like to speak a lot of languages so that...." with reference to some martial arts moves he used to floor an opponent.

>>84192548
This is also one of the greatest of sound films. It puts the few of today's "maximalist" exercises in sound design that I've seen, with their reliance on crude, almost pornographic swooshy stereo effects, to shame. The sound of the boxing club over Hammer's conversation, the sounds of car engines, contrast in a crucial way with the quiet scenes, such as Mike's conversations with Velma. And like the image the sound has its little prefiguring explosions too, such as the crooked autopsy doctor's screams when Hammer closes a door on his hand. All of this leads to the machine like whoosh, echoing that of car engines, that we hear the first time the "box" is opened briefly. Sound is also used to convey, I believe, a final betrayal. When Hammer is tied to a bed near the end, we hear on the radio the sound of a boxing match that suddenly reverses: is this not the boxing entrepreneur's new champ, the one he told Hammer to "bet your shirt" on, lying down and losing just as Hammer had predicted, reminding the entrepreneur that he would make more money with a crooked betting scheme in which the expected winner loses?

The absence of a firm geometry to the images is a sign of a world that has lost all its values. At a crucial moment in Hitchcock's great "Shadow of a Doubt," a tilted camera informs us of a character's guilt. It can do this because it has thus far presented the world in a consistent, non-tilted geography. In "Kiss Me Deadly," everything is "tilted." Like "The End," in a different way, it offers insight not only into the violence underlying the 50s but into today's American government, in which our President says "We do not torture" when torture is our official policy approved at the highest governmental levels; when he invades another country in a war based on lies with the claim that it will make us more secure when it actually was predicted to, and did, inspire more terrorism; when he says in opposing stem cell research that he doesn't want to destroy life to preserve it when that was the very logic of starting his illegal war. In the slogan of the totalitarian state in Orwell's "1984," "War is peace."
