A De Palma movie that makes you want to love it because it has mixed reviews

The filmmakers who began to form the core of Hollywood in the 1970s were closely connected horizontally, with interactions among Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and Brian De Palma. It is still talked about today. Spielberg and Scorsese's new works are still attracting a lot of attention, but Lucas. Unfortunately, Coppola cannot be said to be active as a front-line director. Among them, Brian De Palma seems to be the one who continues to create his own unique style of filmmaking. In recent years, there have been times when there has been a long gap between directorial works, but in 2018 he completed his new work ``Domino'' (which has not been screened as of 2019).

However, it was during the 1970s and 1980s that De Palma's work achieved its greatest characteristic, a vivid and mysterious brilliance. Like `` Carrie '' (1976), which was the first successful film adaptation of Stephen King's novel, it went from a work that received rave reviews to a majority of people who criticized it as just being too technical even though it had an all-star cast. Although there are some extreme works such as `` Bonfire of the Vanities '' (1990), many of De Palma's works from this period have been passed down from generation to generation because the works themselves are divided between people who like and dislike them. One of his best works is ``The Dressed to Kill.''

In the late 1970s, De Palma was working on a screenplay for his novel Cruising, but was unable to obtain the film rights. The film will be directed by William Friedkin. In addition to incorporating ideas from ``Cruising,'' he created ``Dressed to Kill'' by being inspired by his own childhood experience of being asked by his mother to investigate his father's affair. De Palma's young son seems to be making full use of recording equipment when investigating his father, and in ``Dressed to Kill'', De Palma's son Peter becomes De Palma's alter ego as he pursues the truth behind his mother's murder.
