      West End Kirk's Political View

      From Steddin (Szczecin) on the Baltic Sea to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea, an iron curtain across the European continent has come down. Behind this line is the capital of the ancient countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

            ——Winston Churchill

       

            I have seen very few Hitchcock movies, only a handful of them, and this "Breaking the Iron Curtain" is one of the few Hitchcock movies I have seen ideology The most prominent and the most clear-cut political...

      I like to watch outdated commercial films of that era.

      I have a strange habit. I particularly like watching Hollywood commercial films in the 1950s and 1960s, and I try to find some original laws of commercial films, some objective laws or valuable experiences that have been abandoned and ignored by modern commercial films. Fortunately, I have found a lot. Breaking through the Iron Curtain is also a commercial film that has long been completely forgotten by modern people. It took me several days to watch it intermittently. Hitchcock seemed to be...

      Not classic

      The news of Paul Newman’s death is an inconspicuous landmark in the subtitle of the entertainment section of Phoenix.com, but it is very high-profile as the biggest topic on the homepage of mtime. This is the essential difference between a comprehensive information platform and a movie community. The former is to convey information and the latter. It is to vent emotions. Seeing the various retrospectives in the mtime memorial topic, it seems as if yesterday that newman was about to retire....

      Hitchcock's fading light-"Breaking the Iron Curtain"


            A cup       originally contained in "Watching Movies·Midnight Field" can hold different liquids. Thick soup, light tea, spirits, and water depend on the intention of the person who prepares the liquid. In a two-hour movie, what kind of sound, picture, plot, and characters are included in a movie, and it also shows the director's intentions. Watching Hitchcock's movies usually expect a strong breath, and Hitchcock rarely disappoints viewers. However, in the late 1960s,...

      The Iron Curtain is really not important, fleeing is a serious matter

      Although Hitchcock's movies are all very good-looking, I love this one only. Paul Newman and Julie Andrews are my favorite combination!

       It's just that I think there is a plot in the film that is far-fetched. Paul went to the farm and organized a connection. Because of language barriers, he painted the code of the organization on the ground. After passing it, it was not wiped off and was discovered by Paul's bodyguard. It caused Paul and his accomplices to kill him and put Paul into...

      Underrated second tier Hitchcock; taut and entertaining, full of fascinating visual concepts and brilliantly staged suspense; "hard man to kill" and "2 buses"...

      As long as the film rises to the height of the nation-state or even ideology, people will not be interested, even if it is a master like...

      It is mainly the political background that wins in a specific era, as well as the performances of the protagonists. The way it's told is good, and the overall story is actually just okay, but if you break down the details bit by bit, you can start a new chapter. The tones aren't particularly sensual, but rather it's more of a black and white movie. I think coming to Hitchcock's films in the 40s and 50s should be more attractive to me....

    Background creation

    This film is a suspense plus thriller directed by the famous director Alfred Hitchcock . The film, as always, designs an empty political background and motivation, and then uses this as a starting point to create a complex network of characters to promote the tension of the plot. The film attaches great importance to the logic of character behavior, which makes the whole story move forward naturally with a clear boundary of one divided...
