      Hee's Strange Flavor Beans-"The Strange Corpse Case"


            Hitchcock's film       originally published in "Watching Movies Midnight Field" is mostly that the movie-watching pleasure brought by the technique itself is greater than the thinking brought about by the film's theme. Although [Doctor Edward] or [Scary] can dig out the themes for discussion by psychological analysis methods, [birds] can fully appreciate the spreading emotions of the apocalypse, [39 steps] this kind of gloomy Spy films are also affected by the atmosphere of...

      Not thriller but warmth

      This is a later Hitchcock movie. There are no beautiful women or handsome guys, but a very ordinary and sparse countryside. Hitchcock took a beautiful shot of the countryside, and a very strange corpse suddenly appeared in it. Around this matter, we found many people's attitudes towards life.
      On the surface, these people are very cold-blooded, because according to our current statement, it should be very guilty to kill someone by mistake. But there are no people in the story. They care...

      Happiness is the source of life

      That's hilarious! Harry was more wronged than Dou'e. A heart attack died naturally, and he was dug up and buried by so many irrelevant people again and again! Although it is the usual suspense movie of Xi Pang, it does not have the usual tension and compactness. The whole story is relaxed and humorous, and many places make people can't help but hilarious. It seems that it is creating suspense, buckling the ring and so on, and you can find the shadow of Xi Pang everywhere! The soundtrack is also...

      Queer case

      The most gentle and relaxing one of Hitchcock’s films I’ve seen in "Ghost Case", there is no horror atmosphere in Psycho, no tense rhythm in The 39 steps, no complicated plot in Vertigo, but the same There is suspense, humor, and unexpected ending. The grassy slope where Harry's body appeared was like a dramatic scene, with people coming and going, as if they were going on stage and off stage. This is somewhat similar to "Rear Window". Many of the dialogues in the film are humorous and make...

      Quiet countryside, calm people

      Comedy, the suspense part is not very exciting, but two loves, children, beautiful rural autumn scenery, the male protagonist's paintings attracted me. It was like a short story. Everyone was very calm about the corpse and unfolded quietly. The protagonist even drew a sketch of the corpse in oil painting. I have to say, that small shop full of male protagonists' paintings is very beautiful! On a barren ground, an independent store with all kinds of paintings. If I had money, I would buy them...

      Barely two points. Hitchcock’s off-line comedy, a corpse lying on the mountain, the simple villagers either misunderstood that they were the one who killed themselves, or they walked away as if nothing happened (the doctor tripped over the corpse and apologized and left. The watching male protagonist The two said, “I don’t dare to see him in the future”). The relevant person found a reason to justify themselves and buried the body. The only challenge was to prevent the town’s security officers...

      Alfred_Hitchcock's style is different from the feeling, probably because his sense of humor accounts for the majority, but it is less gloomy, otherwise this should be regarded as black humor -- is it for color...

      Stunned, but this is an abstract version of an escape room game. . . The more and more everyone gets to the end, the more and more unable to escape this strange magnetic field, until they finally relax, because no matter how hard they try, it is useless. The fact is that this magnetic field is automatically...

    "The Trouble with Harry" is a very interesting suspenseful humorous sketch directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It is a very dramatic and gentle farce. The whole story takes place in a few houses in the countryside and a few outdoor scenes, and the characters are also very limited. The film has no horror, only suspense, no murder, only humor, and the relaxed atmosphere of pastoral life, which makes this sketch occupy a very special place in...
