    It's actually quite a simple story. Curiosity drives a person crazy. Eavesdropping on a conversation makes the movie appear again and again. The sound design is very good. The sound seems to have become a demon. It would be better if it was a little less, and the living environment would be a little more lonely, but in the end, it was really good to take pictures in the demolition of the house. ost is...

    [A] It's really amazing, this is probably the most exquisite depiction of psychological externalization in Coppola's films. In the framework of suspenseful subjects, Coppola quietly leads to two main themes: the alienation of individuals in the context of information crisis, and the inevitable subjectivity in audiovisual reconstruction. In the first two-thirds of the film, the protagonist's "loneliness" as an individual in the group is emphasized, as well as the suspicion and alienation...

    Masterpiece! Contrary to the loose and even casual organizational structure of "Zoom", it highlights the maximum plot tension that the film can inspire as a narrative art. In the general suspense theme structure, the core of the character "loneliness" is introduced, and at the same time, the horror of the core behavior of "eavesdropping" is pointed out. These two bring the theme of the film to a higher level. Coppola also changed the grammar of the film, from the narrative tone of the original...

    Rewatch. Forgive me for being blind-eyed before. The handling of the sound is astonishing, and while alienating from the picture, another emotional narrative clue is listed. With such a result, the film history may be the first. Coppola's analysis and reconstruction of the scene is also fully revealed in this film. Relying on his familiarity with American traditions to rebel, a lot of omitted editing shots and scenes are exchanged so smoothly. The editing at the beginning is as wonderful as...

    A late-climax movie. Aside from the political mapping, watching suspense and thriller stories from the last few shots is obviously not the point of the director. From the beginning to the end, I want to express the sense of crisis of being deprived of personal freedom and the state of psychological anxiety after being deprived. The overall structure of the film is also a model for many later works, plus the details of people's psychological performance are in place, and the master style is...
