I saw the clip when I was analyzing the film author in my sophomore year. I remember a time when I went to dinner with my friends at the end of the semester. When I was passing by a subway station, a balloon floated out of the subway entrance. The classmates walked to the balloon without thinking about it, and smashed it with one foot. At the same time, a child ran out of the subway entrance, and when he saw this moment, the expression on his face was exactly the same as the child in the movie...

Rewatch. As an object, a lighter is like a tennis ball in a tennis match. It provokes a confrontation between the two parties, and it is the transfer (throwing) between the two parties, which is really visible. Furthermore, lighter/tennis is a signifier and exists as a string that connects the two sides. Four train rides, talking (accounting for) - the conversation was pleasant, but the other party didn't remember and ignored the other party at all. The lighter is also a fragment of the real,...

The scheduling is also great, but I still resisted the urge to give it five stars. This suspense is relatively small, and it takes into account the skilled and advanced film language while ensuring the readability and interest of the story. For example, the deceptive footage of the park rowing a boat into a hole in the silhouette of fake murder, such as the lighter on the glasses, or the parallel montage of the third-act tennis match and picking up the lighter, the carousel at the end is really...

Tennis match spectators shaking their heads (how to film) / The metaphor of the merry-go-round: black and white leather shoes, trains crossing the tracks, exchanging kills. / Make props...

The tension and rhythm are so meticulously grasped that the master's work is truly extraordinary. When watching a movie, it will be substituted into the perspective of the characters unconsciously. Even the double-line structure will not appear deviated. Many lens structures and lens movement methods are ingenious, and it takes a long time to learn and practice to grasp the lens language. Being able to apply it freely is the deepest experience in recent...

The great thing about Hitchcock is that his films are so easy to understand that you don't have to rack your brains to understand the obscure metaphors and still get a great suspense story, and that tennis court and carousel scene is a classic...

Hitchcock in the classic Hollywood period, the language of several sets of shots is really amazing. The final merry-go-round adds a sense of speed and expressionism. Hahaha, as expected, expressionism is especially suitable for this type of...

Hitchcock's criminal anxiety is overwhelming, and such a perverted story can be imagined~ And if this kind of thing happens, it's really unreasonable... People are dead, how can you be sure that he is mentally ill? A little bug at the end. But the atmosphere is great, and it's amazing to play a game and drop the lighter in the ditch. The heroine is so...

B/ The setting is really interesting, the formation of the "sinful" community is so easy, and the story has to end with one part eating another part. Hitchcock's success largely lies in the covert manipulation of psychological reality and external reality, so that the audience willingly falls into the mental molds set up one by one and sacrifices their own eyes in the center of "suspense". Such a serious nonsense is really a...

The carousel circus at the end of the credits has become a classic. The most shocking scene in the film is the fight between Guy and Bruno on a runaway...
