    3.5+ It's Hume Cronin again... May I ask how many long lenses does he require his screenwriters to include, otherwise they won't let them shoot? XD The look and feel is much better than Rope, and the melodrama plot is better than nothing. The so-called "perfect murder" of looking for trouble is more convincing, and the camera movement and focal length changes are effective at introducing characters and showing their relationships. Joseph Cotton's role Soo made me dizzy, Bergman's is really not...

    Why is my aesthetic so different from that of the last century, I think Ingrid Bergman is too pretentious and ugly. The first few minutes made me think she was crazy. Director, Alfred...

    Hitchcock is really not suitable for making...

    7. Xi Pang followed the first shot of "Rope" to the end, and made this film again. The protagonist's performance was very good, and many long shots were also shot well. However, the story was a bit rotten, and the dialogue was too...

    Why are so many people here sighing that Bergman's acting is so good? Isn't it the kind of Bergman who is a little neurotic and a little strong, and it's not much different from "Under the Gaslight" and "Murder on the Orient Train". The stage wind was too heavy and felt...

    After the Soul Reaper, Xi Fat still played with complicated long shots. The plot didn't keep up. After sleeping for half an hour, I woke up and found that I was connected to the plot, oh...

    7.0/10 points. 2018.09.13, first look, Blu-ray. Hitchcock's work, this one is actually a pure drama, there is no suspense. . . The plot is average, but the long shots are more creative. . . Ingrid Bergman still did a good job. ....

    The variety of gorgeously smooth, masterful long shots is breathtaking, but the story is unattractive. 3 and a half...

    ? ? ? ? ? Lao Xi's costume films are probably too bloody and ugly, with all kinds of pretentious gloom, troublesome meddling, Bergman's suffocating and charming interpretation... What is the length of the shot to reflect the artistry? It doesn't exist, and the whole process is suppressing the urge to cut the camera. Story-wise, it's a boring bunch of men and...

    As a continent full of sinners and secret crimes, Australia set the tone for the film. The confrontation between law and affection built by the chief of the suzerain state and the colonial merchants has multiple meanings. The housekeeper Millie (similar to "Butterfly Dream") and the hostess Henriette compete for the male host Fleskey, and the chief cousin Adair and Flesky compete for Henriette. In the memory, Flesky and Henriette's brother compete Henriette, the three triangles blur sin and...
