    A masterpiece of classical Hollywood, the dream sequence is a classic example of film psychoanalysis, love scenes look like cutscenes under the Hays Code, Hitchcock still likes to tease the audience, and the pistol turns and shoots at the audience. Simple and powerful, after adding a big reunion and everyone was happy, the waiter came to stare at the audience again, which was a bit...

    The introduction of Freudian analysis into the film must have been rare at the time, but one-on-one analysis is inevitably a bit superficial, and it is still a rough version of...

    "A series of wonderful psychoanalytical processes unfolded, and the shadow of his childhood and the truth of Dr. Edward's murder gradually surfaced"~ It's a bit untrue to say "I have seen it", but I don't want it to be seen again on hold. It can only be said that the two leading actors are very charming, and the English pronunciation is very different from now. Intriguing inquiry. It doesn't seem to have much to do with the story itself, though. . . Different times, different viewing...

    Part 136 of the CC Collection, produced in the United States in 1945. The suspenseful technique is becoming more mature than that of "Breaking the Flower", and the analysis of Freud's dreams is average, but there are 30-year-old Bergman and 29-year-old Gregory Pike, and Dali's dream paintings are enough . Nominated for 5 Oscars and won Best Score....

    I have read Freud's works before, so it is not too difficult to understand. The analysis of dreams is very exciting, and it is also in line with Hitchcock's style. However, another explanation in the film review is more convincing. The teacher...

    Killing one is killing, killing two is also killing. With such a good quality of heart, I even committed suicide alone in the...

    It's a classic suspense movie, and now audiences can't accept that slow pace and rough set. But if you look down, it still looks...

    The essence lies in the dreamland designed by Dali for the male protagonist, with a strong surrealism style. The tension created in the last few minutes is very exciting, the gun turned to face the off-camera (the murderer), and the red flashed, so cool! And the ticket inspector looked at the audience with a surprised expression. The soundtrack of the whole film is very touching, and the process of dream analysis is also very interesting, but Parker's performance is not...
