Title: The Lady from Shanghai
Director: Orson Welles
1947, 87 minutes, English
Fascinated by gorgeous Mrs. Bannister, seaman Michael O'Hara joins a bizarre yachting cruise, and ends up mired in a complex murder plot. (From IMDb)
I haven't been keeping up with my reviews. I should be on review #54, but I may have gotten lazy. I don't know how quickly I can get back on track.
Anyways, I had mixed feelings about this film. I really enjoyed some parts, while there were other parts I found to be rather boring. For most of the first 30 or 40 minutes, I had no idea what was going on. I got the general gist (O'Hara joins Bannister's crew, he gets in fights with Bannister, etc.) Once we pass that point, every element is crystal clear. Also, not only the plot but even the style seemingly does a 180. It goes from romantic drama to an odd mystery thriller.
Certain elements in the later acts were what influenced my rating. I absolutely loved the twists, I enjoyed Spoiler!, and the climax in the Spoiler! is spectacular. Really, I can only recommend this film to those who have seen other Welles movies, and know what they're getting into.
IMDb - 7.7
Rotten Tomatoes - 86%
Me - 7
3 years ago it would cost $5k to ship a 40 foot container via ocean from Shanghai to LA. That same container now cost $25k.
Last year this same container cost $7k.
Along with this the booking time on these containers has drastically increased.
A perfect storm is brewing folks. Bottom line cost have skyrocketed at the global supply chain level. Transit times has increased drastically.
The effects of this are to be seen by early December. Companies, especially small businesses are going to struggle big time to import goods.
FedEX announced today another hike in rates. Thats peanuts to what's occuring on the back end of things for imports.
Get ready folks, 2022 gonna be a BUMPY RIDE.
Make sure to catch that big dipper.
