      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...

    Background creation

    In the film, Kent Jones used many recorded videos and highlights of the conversation between Alfred Hitchcock and François Truffaut to reproduce the conversation between the two   . But at the same time, Kent Jones did not show the content of the conversation very specifically, because the content of the conversation was published in 1966, and he did not want to make the film a simple historical retelling   . Kent Jones would like to...

    Movie quotes

    • Narrator: Being an individual artist meant self-exposure. Pouring all of yourself into your movie, all of your fears and obsessions and fetishes, just like Hitchcock did.

    • Narrator: Hitchcock had freed Truffaut as an artist and Truffaut wanted to reciprocate by freeing Hitchcock from his reputation as a light entertainer. And that's the basis on which they started their conversation.

    • François Truffaut: Your type of picture, people get enjoyment but pretend that they haven't been fooled and then, begrudgingly, their pleasure later on.

      Alfred Hitchcock: Yes.

      François Truffaut: When I say pleasure I don't mean amusement...

      Alfred Hitchcock: They're obviously, they're going to sit there and say "show me" and they expect to anticipate, "I know what's coming next". I have to say, "Do you?"
