[Film Review] Body Double (1984) 6.2/10

While Brian De Palma's BODY DOUBLE taps adeptly into its heteronormative erotic thrust, in post-mortem, its central plot fits right into a cracking-a-nut-with-a-sledgehammer case that if the nefarious perpetrator simply needs an eye-witness for his purported burglary-turned-murder skulduggery, he really wouldn't have concocted such an involute set-up to pull the wools over the eyes of our...

The poor boy is fascinated, the beautiful young woman is brutally murdered, and she has a different world

Some movies will make you angry when you watch them, and why are the protagonists so stupid? He should go east, but he went west, making a mess and getting himself into a vortex. Yes, Pink Killing Eve is such a movie.

The title is so weird! who translated? Stand up and explain.

The impoverished young actor and actor suffers from claustrophobia and is fired by the director. When he comes home, he finds that his girlfriend is having sex with someone else, and the house is not his...

About the ending

The rhythm of the first hour of the film was slow, and I even wanted to give 2 stars in anger. Fortunately, the overall quality was restored at the end.

For the ending, the interpretation on IMDB is reproduced as follows (it is believed that witnessing the murder and finding out the real murderer is the real experience of the male protagonist, and regaining the opportunity to play a vampire is an imagination):

Q: How does the movie end?

A: Holly admits that it was she, not...

Still a DePalma Cinephile

A discerning person can see the tribute to Hitchcock's "Rear Window" and "Psycho": binoculars, electric drills, claustrophobia, and well-planned murders are all distinct marks in Hitchcock's classic works. With the help of these familiar symbols, De Palma constantly "flattered and imitated" to the master, and gradually practiced his own style. I am afraid that there is only De Palma in the entire film industry. This grotesque sense of suspense has been brilliantly explained in "Razor's Edge" as...

The Body Double pun murder technique is pretty good, but the puzzle solving process is too easy, it seems that the case begins to be solved as soon as the conversation turns. The original intention was to see how the director used the lens to objectify women. The three women who appeared in it, the cheating girlfriend, the woman who was peeped, and the prostitute who acted as a stand-in, all seemed to be objects under the director's lens, without...

Pink Killing Eve, I like the title. Thought it was a Phoenix story, lust to kill in the heat... but no, it's just a mental state, supplemented by pornography, violence, voyeurism, cross-dressing, weirdness, and a typical 80s thriller configuration The film, and the connection between these elements is a bit far-fetched and too routine, which is very different from what I imagined about it before, I am disappointed. The track play in the mall is...

The background music that renders horror is too loud, and the male protagonist looks like a bad luck, perverted voyeur, and very...

The stalking scene is really Parma's forte, the cat and the mouse, the mantis catching the cicada, are full of tension. From the very beginning, it was full of the texture of a B-grade film, with naked women, eroticism, blood and various evil elements, but when integrated, not only does it not feel crude, but the director's burst of talent can be seen everywhere. But the shortcomings of the play are also obvious. In order to create conflict, the IQ of the characters is sometimes irritatingly...
