Danube and Wien Rivers Vienna Austria

The Danube River in Vienna isn’t as dramatic as rivers in other European cities, like the Thames in London, Spree in Berlin, Vltava in Prague, or Seine in Paris. Unlike in Budapest, the Danube doesn’t flow through picturesque parts of the city. Instead, it crosses the upper section of Vienna away from Vienna’s Ringstrasse and the beautiful historical center.

Holly Martins is the protagonist of ALL TIME, you don’t even understand…

he thinks he’s the hero in a western

he doesn’t know ANY German

he writes cheap novelettes

he sucks at flirting

he hates cops

he gets an old man killed 

he doesn’t know what a crisis of faith is (until it’s too late)

he is NOT coping 

he gets bit by a bird 

he doesn’t know anyone’s name

he makes terrible jokes 

he Cannot Leave

and, most importantly, he is deeply, deeply stupid

#i love him SO much - it’s unreal #he is everything to me #if i had to pick a favorite character in the film it would probably be Anna #because she has some of the most raw and unhinged lines i have ever heard that break my heart into a million pieces every time #but i saw some Holly slander the other day and i will NOT stand for it #he is TRYING and he is FAILING and that is PERFECT #the real mystery of The Third Man is how much trauma can one man go through without processing a single ounce of it? #stay tuned till the end to find out! #the third man 1949 #holly martins

hangmen also die (1943) is a jewel of wwii film. the film was written and directed by german refugees fritz lang and bertolt brecht, and it is brilliantly laser-focused in its goal of inspiring a desire to punch nazis. there are many ways in which this film is comparable to casablanca (1942): it is set in a nazi-occupied city, in this case prague, and showcases the indomitable spirit of the occupied people while denouncing those who collaborate and sympathize with the nazis. unlike casablanca (1941), however, there is no cynically detached american presence in the film to distract from the brutal reality of the situation. unlike in that film, there is nothing comedic about the germans of this film. they are a ruthless, powerful presence, with their ability to destroy matched only by their desire to destroy. although the american audience of this film lacked the first-hand knowledge of the terror of the nazis that the director likely had, cinematographer james wong howe communicates that terror highly effectively. rigidly lineally framed shots show the orderly inevitability of violence of the nazis; skewed shots with overwhelmingly powerful shadows show how sickeningly great that violence truly is. this highly organized, deeply brutal force is contrasted with and met by the spontaneous, indomitable will of the czech people. time and time again, the nazis of this film attempt to break that will and fracture that popular identity. time and time again, they can hardly manage to chip off more than one turncoat. those betrayers end up betrayed by the ones they defected to, in the end. although i will concede that the visual and narrative mechanisms by which sentiment are aroused are fairly obvious, it makes them no less effective. a revolutionary song composed in prison and spontaneously sung in solidarity and revolt is performed by a choir at the film’s close—the end card reads in bold letters, “NOT the end”—and we the audience are encouraged to join in the terrible but noble struggle portrayed in the film. in visuals, in narrative, in acting, and in writing, hangmen also die (1943) is an absolute masterpiece, and perhaps the single piece of contemporary wwii film i would most highly recommend

#it’s like a spectrum #hangmen also die (1943) > casablanca (1942) > the third man (1949) #in terms of like. sentimentality. and also how much it makes you want to punch nazis #love the third man (1949)!! very very cynical film though #for all its darkness ​this film is Not cynical #ryddles

The Third Man (1949)

A man travels to post-war Vienna to see a friend only to discover he’s recently died but left behind a mystery of authoritarian police, racketeering, and unclear death.

 Aesthetically this film fits snugly into the noir genre but expands it by the setting of post-war Europe, despite the twist the use of shadows makes the genre unmistakeable as they aren’t just incidental but worked into the narrative and the war plots are similar to the gang betrayals and Machiavellian ideals elsewhere in the genre.

 Being set in a post-war occupied country has the unfortunate effect of making any character, including the lead, difficult to want to identify with. It doesn’t help that despite being performed well throughout, the protagonist is drier than his books and those are full of sand. This explains why the antagonist gets away with most of the fame from the film.

 The lead does get more likeable as the story goes along but only really becomes viable as a link to the audience after he refuses to become an informant since that’d link him with an authoritarian regime. It’s also amusing that caring and compassion from a friend and a lover is what causes the antagonist’s undoing.

 Having the finale chases scene in a sewer didn’t feel like the most effective setting. It may have had the sinister shadows but those are more useful for lurking than action, also the tunnels are so similar that it makes it hard to follow, some suspense is lost when it’s not clear if the pursuers are miles behind or not.

 3/10 -This one’s bad but there’s some good in it, just there-

 -The speech in the big wheel was reportedly added by Welles at the last minute.

-A professional footballer was brought onto set to make sure the football hit its mark near where a character was hiding.

-The fingers coming through the grate near the end was a stand-in actor.
