1. Film as film

Except for the street scene at the beginning, the story of the whole movie takes place in one room, the space is limited and fixed, and it seems that it is not inconsistent to adapt it into a drama. But some of these shots show the artistic irreplaceability of film.

The first is the...

The film was released in 1948. It was the first independently produced and directed film by the suspense master Hitchcock, as well as his first color film.

It seems to be quite experimental now. Under the conditions at that time, the difficulty that the pseudo-long shot added to the performance, photography, and scheduling should be thorny and thorny! In terms of reasoning stories, Hitchcock gave new meaning to the motive, the murder weapon, and the murder scene. Because of the director's own good taste, the evil and elegance presented in the film are in place (ideological killing, for fun, elite privilege, altar). Classic passages: metronome questioning, empty footage of the murder process, neon flashes when the ending event is revealed. The spring door in the kitchen helps the director to schedule, the changing scenery outside the window pretends to be "time", the moving camera and the colored lights carry the narrative function. In the film the pianist looks at his own hands = Lady Macbeth. The screenwriter Arthur Laurents is a Cancer and gay on July 14, which matches the role of the pianist in the film. In fact, the two also talked about a short-term love. Joan Chandler is so beautiful, of course, Hitchcock's heroines are beautiful~

A story that takes place in a room. Compared to that long shot, I prefer the narrative style of voiceover + moving camera. The intellectual advantage is purely based on stupid big words, the bad people are unconvincing and the psychological quality is too poor. Basically it is a small reference to leopoldandloeb. I don't really like Xi Fat this one. The accent of js's lines has become serious.
