This post is for the 1001 Movies Club. Go over there and read what people said about this and other films!


I can't say that there's a lot wrong with this film, though it's still extremely fresh in my mind (I finished it like, an hour ago) so it's sort of difficult to write a really thorough review on it. However, I guess I could say that I just didn't feel completely emotionally absorbed in the story. My brain was totally active but my heart wasn't really anywhere in it, which usually bothers me though this film was so perfect that I totally forgive it for alienating me. Plus, that last shot could make me like any film...

So there you have it. "The Third Man" is certainly not my favorite noir, but it's deservedly a classic, and oddly enough I quite loved it despite its inability to fully capture me emotionally. It truly is a film you must see before you die, if for nothing else but that cinematography! Ohhhhhhh.
9/10
What did you think of "The Third Man", or film noir in general? Or do you just want to complain about my lackluster review? Go crazy in the comments!
The Third Man is my second favorite Welles movie. Film noir is awesome (though, to be honest, I only really got into it after Brick).
