    The last merry-go-round is really a stroke of genius. Under Xifa's camera, love is like murder, murder is like love, and the competition on the out-of-control merry-go-round and even the killing intent are like a crazy love, full of climaxes and full of sexual hints. Tennis as a common symbol in Western movies is also well represented in this film. The soundtrack is too much, the plot itself is very powerful, but the overcrowded soundtrack is...

    AKA: It's Your Turn/The Lady Vanishes; I was nervously watching a tennis match (cross-cut with a sewer lighter, double the excitement); Bruno was pretty solid; and finally, "Don't Talk to Strangers" Funny echoes the...

    Flickering light, murder in mirrors, flames reflected in mirrors, parallel montages of tennis matches and lighters. Of course, the most shocking thing is definitely the Trojan Horror at the end. In the 1950s, there was such a whimsical idea, which perfectly combined the thrilling atmosphere with the audio-visual language. This move has become the source of inspiration for many literary and art workers in later generations....

    The reappearance of the encounter at the end of the train is meaningful. Haines, as the ultimate beneficiary of satisfying desires, chose to avoid it. He and Bruno are the conscious and subconscious representations of the same personality (parallel combination of leather shoes at the beginning). The plot of the wife's exchange of murder methods is very eye-catching. The irrational self is finally eliminated, and the evil thoughts continue to ferment secretly in the...

    【A】The more you watch the movie, the more you can appreciate the greatness of Hitchcock, especially in front of such a classic noir movie, you can only worship silently. Especially in the case of the murder of the wife in the playground, the audio-visual scheduling of that section is simply wonderful: the conscious repetition of scenes and the selection of the content of the picture frame make the process of viewpoint movement full of interest and ambiguity; the movement and swallowing of light...

    The murderous impulse in everyone's heart, several wonderful images: 1.Bruno strangled Guy's wife through the reflection through his glasses; 2.Guy saw Bruno waiting for him on the empty steps in the distance. Shots; 3. During Guy's game, all the spectators' heads turned back and forth with the tennis ball, but Bruno was stationary; 4. The high-speed spinning...

    Close-ups of crossed shoes, lighters, broken glasses, horrific merry-go-round... Bruno just did what Guy wanted to do but didn't dare to do, there's a fine line between sanity and...

    Highsmith enjoys writing about gay crime in an age of repression. . . Compared with Montgomery Clift, James Dean, Lock Hudson, and Farley Granger, they are more fortunate. After all, they can hold hands with their partners and grow old with their children. . . Looking at his eyes, I think of Eileen Chang's words, a sad poem, a sad era - it's not over, it's still going on....

Strangers on a Train quotes

  • Bruno Anthony: Now, you're going to do a murder. How are you going to do it? This is the fascinating part. How are you going to do it? I didn't get your name?

    Mrs. Cunningham: Mrs. Cunningham.

    Bruno Anthony: Mrs. Cunningham, how are you going to do it?

    Mrs. Cunningham: Well, I suppose I'll have to get a gun from somewhere.

    Bruno Anthony: Oh no, Mrs. Cunningham. Bang, bang, bang all over the place. Blood everywhere?

  • Senator Morton: I thought he was a bit weird when he arrived. Who is he?

    Guy Haines: I hardly know him, sir.

    Senator Morton: Well, get him out of here as soon as you decently can, will you. This is a nice item for the gossips. First thing you know, they'll be talking about orgies!
