      90% of the people who think this film is bad do not understand it

      This movie is one of the best I've seen in a long time. It attracted me from the beginning, whether it is the picture, the music, or the tightness of the plot, the foreshadowing, and the hints, it is all very good. Quite Hitchcock's legacy.

      I may not have worked out all the plots either. You don't have to be too obsessed with the existence of tenants. My personal opinion is that all the tenant things only exist in the heroine's head. As for his appearance to find a new house in the...

      the real murderer

      When I watched this film, I accidentally clicked this film in an Internet cafe theater. I never knew about Hitchcock’s films before, so I didn’t have any subjective thoughts before watching it. After watching the whole film, I always felt that the tenants It was the murderer. After watching it, I couldn't stop, so BAIDU wrote a review of the film, and found that some friends suspected the landlady, the landlady or the police, as if the idea was opened up. .

      It is really lucky for the murderer tenant to meet such a landlord

      The landlady is indeed mentally ill, and the tenant does exist (there were witnesses in the double corpse case, who said that he was about the same height as Manning, obviously the height of the landlady did not match), and the previous killings were all done by the tenant alone (several prostitutes were apparently I'm teasing the murderer), I think the most difficult thing to understand is the ending of the last case. The landlady was willing to do anything for the tenant before, does it...

      I found what I think is the best movie review for this movie, and it's the ending I hoped, copy it

      I have a habit, as long as it is a good movie, I have to watch it twice, and I have to watch it twice in a row. In the second time, I was baptized again and sublimated. I was overwhelmed and reconfirmed: "The tenant" does not exist, and there is only one murderer- ----The landlord, the accomplice is the landlord's wife. The Lodger doesn't exist. (PS: The landlady is so beautiful, the first time I knew she was playing the mother of a little boy in Dumari, I wanted to laugh when I thought of that...

      Several doubts point to the identity of the killer, but I'm still guessing...

      What if the killer was a male homeowner? The

      deceased were all women, and all had their wombs removed.
      The female homeowner had a vaginal birth seven years ago, which was unfavorable and changed to a caesarean section. Unfortunately, she was stillborn and suffered a blow. And the male landlord is because of the tragedy of his own woman, so he kills the prostitutes to vent.

      The last murder targeted the policeman's daughter.
      The female homeowner and the police seem...

    Evaluation action

    "The Lodger" is not so much a film adaptation as director David Ondache completed the ceremony of paying tribute to Alfred Hitchcock with this directorial debut .
    The plot layout is an obvious dual clue mode, one clue is a cat-and-mouse game between the police officer and the killer, and the other clue is the thrilling affair between the landlady and the mysterious The Lodger. David Ondaqie's skills in the old mystery are not bad, and...
