In 1927, Hemingway published a collection of novels "Men Without Women", which included his most famous short stories "Mountains Like White Elephants" and "Murderers":
The first edition of "Men Without Women"
I used to like Hemingway's simplicity and restraint, and when I wrote romance novels for fashion magazines, I would unconsciously imitate them.

Black and white double evil talks about Dutch, marijuana, burgers, foot massage along the way
The two films based on "The Murderer" are also remarkable:
The Masked Thief (1946)
Hemingway participated in the screenwriting, the first 11 minutes of the film are almost exactly the same as the original, and then the cold and mysterious Ava Gardner plays the femme fatale, and the male protagonist is fascinated:

There are many films based on Hemingway's novels, the most outstanding of which is "The Masked Thief", in which Ava Gardner is called the most beautiful vertebrate on the planet:
The setting of the male protagonist moth to the flame is very convincing:
"The Killer" (1956)
Tarkovsky's short film debut with two film school classmates, the killer is as young as the director:
Ta Sheng's understanding of the original work is very accurate, and the despair of the characters is boundless:
Death is terrible, and what is even more terrifying is that life is worse than death, and the will to live is completely lost.
What happened to him?

You didn't fall into the trap, maybe luck, or maybe no one ever made you unable to extricate yourself:
