แก๊งใต้พิภพ

"That last minute is absolutely insane. The camera drops from a normal male height, down to the tables and chairs, then to the floor. And then, the protagonist collapses in front of the lens like a mountain. Definitely one of the most amazing low-angle shots in film history." - Ren Zhi

It's hard to believe this film is sixty years old, the events in the film are still playing out now, which is also where the plot attracts people, it's hard to say whether this unchanging situation stems from society or the essence of human nature. The media is the eye to examine the world, what kind of society, will produce what kind of media, and see what kind of human nature. Billy Wilder's self-written and directed classic film noir, the ending is very exciting, with both the power of lash and the warmth of twilight.

In a media-driven frenzy, one man's misfortune is swiftly commodified into a tourist attraction and a national entertainment spectacle. Driven by self-interest, various figures jump into the fray, adopting their roles in a tacit conspiracy. It's a manifestation of the modern spectacle society that Susan Sontag criticized, where the suffering and even the private lives of others are turned into objects of public consumption, mass-produced and heavily consumed. Billy Wilder proves himself as a visionary, a master of satire, and a devil for detail.

This quirky film dives into a world where misfits dwell beneath the pavement, crafting a darkly humorous take on their underground existence. You’d almost feel sorry for them—or not. Their struggles in this dystopian landscape might just make you scratch your head and wonder, "Is there really no way out?"
