    The title of the film "The Wrong Man" expresses an important theme of Xifa's later period: the fear and despair that he feels when he is unable to face a huge structure after his individual identity is disorganized. It was a Kafkaesque theme, but critics at the time saw the film as a sign of Hitchcock's turn to neorealism. It's no wonder that Xi Fat rarely stands up at the opening of the film to explain it like Hitchcock Theater, stating that this is a completely true story. The most favorite...

    A very profound movie. It makes people reflect on the abuse, oppression and destruction of an innocent person by the judicial system. The sophistication of the lens language is astounding. Henry Fonda's acting skills exploded. Even if he didn't say a word, he could use his eyes, aura, demeanor, and actions to make the audience feel the helpless and helpless complex mood of an honest man after being wronged. ——It is infuriating that because the wrong person was arrested and caused such a huge...

    I didn't expect Xi Fat to make such a style of film, and the coincidence created drama. However, the focus of the film is always the helpless psychological alienation, but the image of such a wife is really...

    "Manny, who went back to work as a musician, died in a nursing home in 1998. Rose, who died 14 years earlier, never fully...

    A powerful satire of the judicial process at that time. Although it is very convincing to adapt based on real events, the second half of the film is long and boring by adding a fragment of the wife's mental breakdown as a...

    Isn't this a typical Hitchcock movie? This is a typical Hitchcock movie, but it has changed from black and white to black and white. Even if this is not considered, Bernard Herrmann is still Bernard Herrmann. If Henry Fonda lacks anything in the twelve angry men next year, it is Bernard Herrmann's unique neuroticism and...

    It may be the heaviest and most authentic one of the Hitchcock movies I have ever seen, perhaps because it is an adaptation of real events, or because it has a rare and ordinary New York scene. After discarding a lot of suspense and entertainment, the movie magically hides the sense of the times. This seems to be an unjust case that can happen to anyone at any time, and this kind of fear is not in his other movies. The most fascinating passage is that the male protagonist walks into a store....

    As a puzzle-solving film, the mystery is too exaggerated and the process is too simple (the suspect’s self-rejection), and the focus is on the victim’s heart changes (Manny and Rose); However, the situation of the victim is fully demonstrated. In the end, not many people really care about whether the victim is convicted or not. The miracles of Christianity, the self-examination of the mentally ill (Bergman's mask), the ending is...

    The shot of "injustice" is excellent, and Henry Fonda is very suitable for this role. There are two good lens languages: 1. Peek inside the cage through a small hole; 2. The vertigo shot of the protagonist after entering the...

    The wrong man

    Bad luck fell, and Manny was accused of being a robber. Before the injustice was brought, his wife had a mental breakdown and was admitted to a mental hospital. How does Hitchcock express this misfortune in film?
    1 Fence---as an image of imprisonment
    2 Depression angle shooting---God’s

The Wrong Man quotes

  • Rose Balestrero: Don't you see? It doesn't do any good to care. No matter what you do, they've got it fixed so that it goes against you. No matter how innocent you are or how hard you try, they'll find you guilty. Well, we're not going to play into their hands anymore. You're not going out. You're not going to the club and the boys aren't going to school. I've thought it all over, sitting here. We're going to lock the doors and stay in the house. We'll lock them out and keep them out.

  • Rose Balestrero: You think I'm crazy, don't you? Don't you? Well, you're not so perfect either. How do I know you're not crazy?
