Night of the Hunter

I thought this movie was good but I didn't see anything unique about it. Maybe to  my untrained eye I don't easily recognize the importance of certain angles or the usage of focus in a certain scenes or the just the overall cinematography of it that may add to the storyline. Which leads me to wondering, why is this film still relevant 70 years later? The plot line was very intriguing and I was thoroughly entertained and pleased with the progression and slight turns of the plot. Unfortunately, I didnt feel this movie was anything to write home about. I did find the LOVE/HATE knuckle reference cool and weird at the same time. I can say that I appreciate this film much more knowing that it has left an impact that inspires our artists, both legendary and aspiring alike,  to pull from and adapt from it.
