hitchcock's expressionism

I have always believed that hitchcock was heavily influenced by German expressionist films, and this film is a proof, (the tenant who appears in a thick fog, the cuckoo alarm clock that suddenly frightens the landlord when the tenant arrives, and follows the tenant The chandeliers with cramped footsteps kept shaking, the stairs that seemed to fall with the steps of the tenants (fallen souls)...), but it was not until the moment before the end of the film that the audience suddenly realized that...

video presentation sound

The <> directed by Xizhi Court, I have read a lot of articles about her before watching the movie, and I have already left the impression of a masterpiece that cannot be missed.
Unfortunately, on Sunday afternoon, I had a stomachache (the biggest pain in my life), and it was 20 minutes before I entered the venue. Later, the famous male protagonist was not seen in the scene, but fortunately, the film critic Mr. Deng Tu came to talk after the screening (if you dare to take such a...

I probably only watched it after I finished brushing Xifa's works.

The film is too old, and the appeal of silent films is still limited. The quality of the restored version is much better, but it still affects viewing.

There is an inexplicable vocal soundtrack in it, I thought it was a bug, because it seems to have two soundtracks superimposed, but it seems that many people have seen this version.

A couple of good shots: the one walking down the stairs, the cross on the face, the expressionistic shadow of the slanted window in the old woman's...

A murderous love story

Regardless, it looks like a terrifying serial murder case. When the title freezes on a picture of a blond woman opening her eyes and screaming in surprise, when the typewriter typed out "the seventh blond woman was murdered by the mysterious avengers" one by one, when the undecided witnesses described the mysterious and terrifying scene to everyone. When the murderer, when the tense and thrilling music suddenly rises and falls, you will not doubt that this is a story about how to uncover the...

If you don't take me as a murderer, I'm in a hurry with you!

From the appearance of the tenant, Hitchcock is leading the audience to think that this person is the real murderer of the series of murders of the blonde. First of all, his masked appearance startled the landlady. Then, when the husband accidentally fell and the daughter laughed, the director took the opportunity to cut a close-up of the tenant to remind the audience that this person is particularly sensitive to the voice of young women. The art erotic paintings hanging on the wall in the...

A Hitchcock-esque first-timer, telling the story of a serial killer who hunts down a blonde, the director has been trying to mislead the audience for a reversal effect when the truth is revealed. What impressed me was that the camera shot the ceiling upwards, and the imaginary pacing feet became reality. There was also a close-up of the opponent when the actor twisted the...

Anyway, the plot is easy to guess, but the characters often have weird logic. The restored soundtrack is nice, but there are a few places where the vocals feel weird. The best part is the scene switching, pure pictures and text but the effect is great. Does the "Blonde Die Tonight" flashing outside the window when the hero and heroine kiss at the end imply...
