Hitchcock's three axes

April 29th is Hitchcock's death day.
Had it not been for that visit in 1962, Hitchcock's status in film history might have been greatly compromised. Critics at the time believed that although Hitchcock was an extraordinary achievement, he was ultimately a craftsman and director. The college also didn't recognize him, and repeatedly failed to mention him. But there was a young French man who admired him and went to Los Angeles to interview him from Paris.
This young man is...

20170925 Master and his admirers

A good movie depends on three parts, a good script, a good director and a good actor. Hitchcock deprived the actors of their autonomy, because the level of freedom of the actors did not meet his expectations. He strictly requires the actor's actions. There is a detail in the film. Hitchcock asks the actor to come out and look at the opposite building. The actors don’t know how to act? Hitchcock's tone sounds very angry~~~ That means, just do it.
Yes, Hitchcock has controlled the script...

Digging professional households

This is Hitchcock's movie guide. Truffaut is just an introduction. In fact, many other famous directors' roles appear in it. To be honest, the understanding of Hitchcock has always remained only with the master of suspense films. After the literacy of this film, he realized that as a craftsman of audio-visual communication, Hitchcock has many basic skills such as audio-visual image viewing and many other film techniques. It’s obsessive-compulsive disorder and demanding to understand what is...

"The movie is making a certain choice"

Hitchcock, who is always sharp, confident and humorous, has a doubt about himself after producing a series of successful works on the mass market: Am I an artist or an entertainer?

If he has seen Badiou's film on art and non-art The discussion of the relationship may not need to be tangled. In Badiou's view, the film is always making a certain choice, "but this choice is always incomplete", which may be the cause of Hitchcock's self-doubt. "Film always lingers on the edge of non-art....

Different from book title

The opening of the sect is not necessarily clear. The documentary is called Hitchcock and Truffau, but it is not a documentary of these two people, but interviews with many famous artists. The interview format was quite casual and relaxed, and the film review materials were mixed with the way of talking, and the switching was going on, looking back at the life of Hitchcock, the master of the film. The people interviewed and reviewed during the period were all great directors. As for...

I think this kind of film is high, as long as it can arouse the interest of the audience. I remember watching CCTV 6's documentary about "Reaper of Souls" when I was in high school. Open the door to a new world to see...

Movie quotes

Martin Scorsese: [Discussing "Psycho"] The best scenes for me are, one's he must have spent time on, the driving shots. You had to spend time on those, particularly the points of view, somehow. And the framing of Janet Leigh in the center of the frame with the top of the steering wheel in the bottom of the frame. Because, you can make a choice. You can go above the steering wheel, you know, or you can go further out. But, then, maybe you won't see her eyes as well. That's like the perfect size. The scene with the policeman, of course, the framing of him staring into the car, yes, we know, with the glasses, he's scary. But, there is something about the restraint of those frames. You see, the more you restrain, the better it is when the explosion happens. And on the way to the explosion there are these meditative states. Driving. And there's a sense of movement ahead, movement ahead.
Martin Scorsese: [Discussing "Psycho"] She steals money. Then, she decides to drive away. Then, she becomes guilty about it. Then, she meets this guy in a motel and he's telling her all his problems. You're watching, wanting to know what happens. Is she going to bring that money back? Now, what is Anthony Perkins really going to do? You know, he has his mother there, maybe there's going to be this whole thing going on with his mother and him and her. I mean, you're really, you're taken down a path. But, what's great about it is that - that your expectations are taken and turned upside down.
Peter Bogdanovich: [Discussing "Psycho"] The very first screening of that film, none of us had a clue what was gonna happen. And when that - murder - that shower scene came, I've never seen an audience react like that. You could hear a sustained shriek from the audience downstairs. It wasn't like "ah-ah-ah". I was like "aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh". Like they wanted to close it out. But, they couldn't stop watching it. You wanted to close your eyes but you couldn't. Hitch was right, you didn't have to build suspense anymore, they were, they were - blithering idiots. The audience was, "wha-what happened"? They couldn't believe what happened. They kept thinking it couldn't have happened. She's gonna be alive. It was every impulse that you have going to the movies, it was the first time that going to the movies was dangerous.
