    "Key to key" (hee hee)! How did Hitchcock do it? Although the whole book has the texture of the case, aka babble, but at the last moment, my heart went up in my throat, it was too awesome! The orderly life and etiquette of the middle class is to put an end to all acts of disrupting order, including deliberate murder, poof! Even how a dollar is spent is a clue XD In the end, the male protagonist still pretends to be calm under the constraints of such etiquette....

    The story of Xi Fat is immortal. The supposedly impeccable murder was lost on the keys (all keys look the same), and the plot and layout of the movie were too elaborate. The movie concludes: ① Don't kill people around mystery novelists; ② Don't let criminals kill people; ③ Don't kill people who have seen Xi Fat. March 2021 Rewatch: A sudden overhead shot of a planned murder, ending with a look/analysis of the protagonist from inside the house. PS: The (famous university) classmates in the 13′...

    There is no soul to be found in the near-perfect structure and technology of [Telephone Murder]. Apparently Xifa didn't bother to think about it in this movie, but just used a few tricks to embellish a core on the outside. A deadly crime movie genre: elegant and intelligent upper-class killers calmly come up with idea after idea to make Perfect murder, but in the end the building capsized with a tiny screw. Nothing is really alive in the movie, except for that heart-pounding murder scene. The...

    I didn't read it under the middle word, but the master is the master, and I fully understand how to solve the case. The film festival will release the 3D version, hurry up to watch it and drag it until now to make a short review. It is not an action movie, but the 3D effect is more effective, creating the importance of key props, narrow and small The space is even more immersive because of 3D. The film is shot like a stage play, and the audience looks like sitting under the stage when watching...

    Hitchcock's classic suspense film, based on the stage play. Starring Ray Milland and Grace Kelly, who were still underpaid at the time, both performed flawlessly~ Most of the time, the rhythm was smooth and lively, especially in the first ten minutes to complete most of the necessary information. The whole film is full of suspense, and the details are almost seamless, which makes people addicted....

    Near-perfect criminal planning and planting! The reason for the failure of the criminal plan is, as the author Mark said, "the plan can't keep up with the changes"; the planting ultimately fails because no matter how smart people are, there are always omissions. The atmosphere is very well created and the clue "Key" is really unexpected. The only small flaw is that there are too many words, especially the foreshadowing of the first half. The heroine who doesn't like extramarital affairs,...

    Second Hitchcock. Still only see suspense. The exquisite and low-cost good entertainment product, the ending of the song is scattered, and justice is done without leaking, similar to "The Killer". It's not that I hate serious values, but old Hollywood focuses on polishing the story itself. After emerging, there is only American loneliness. The absence of fingerprint clues is the mark of the era of "Double Indemnity", and this film is the key that looks the...

    The plan is perfect, but there are countless possibilities in operation

    Hitchcock's story, unlike any other reasoning I've seen, has very down-to-earth details, and in retrospect, it's even more creepy.

    Thought it was a perfect plan, but all kinds of accidents happened during the operation.
    Every remedy is to use another flaw to close the previous flaw. In the end, the...

    textbook-like movie

    The threat and arrangement of the Cambridge Tennis Soft Fan Man to the murderer really taught me the strict logic of the script.

    Harry Dyer (detective novelist) is a prophecy. "Reality is not always as good as fiction." The unexpected surprises of various soft fans are particularly dramatic, and...

  • Tony Wendice: [concerned tone; into the phone] Oh, by the way, will you be bringing the car with you?

    C.A. Swan: [on the phone] Uh... I'm afraid I can't tonight, it's...

    Tony Wendice: [relieved tone; into the phone] That doesn't matter. I had a good look at it anyway. Oh, you might want to bring the registration book and any necessary papers.

    C.A. Swan: [on the phone] Yes, of course.

    Tony Wendice: [on the phone] I don't see why we can't settle this whole thing here and now, provided you drop the price.

    C.A. Swan: [on the phone] I'm afraid that's quite out of the question.

    Tony Wendice: [on the phone] Well, we'll see what a couple of drinks can do. Goodbye.

  • C.A. Swan: [looking at an old photograph] Well, that's the first and last reunion I ever went to. What a murderous thug I look.
