      "Love Under Capricorn" Under Capricorn 1949 "Merry Night"

      After the Hitchcock & David O. Selznick contract, Selznick & Hitchcock were both control freaks and their collaboration wasn't pleasant. Hitchcock set up his own production company to be free to create. Hitchcock's first film for Atlantic Pictures was the experimental film "The Rope", which consisted of a single long shot, which was also Hitchcock's first film. Chicock's first color film, "The Rope" is a typical Hitchcock film, with two typical elements of Hitchcock - a...

      Guilty?

      Colonial men and women, original sin and former sin, God's to God, Caesar's to Caesar. God said, burn her whip, tell your secret, and you will be saved. Caesar said: Me too.

      The film was a bit long-winded, and I was a little tired after seeing it, but the skull by the bed still surprised me. I have to say that the front and rear shots in a paragraph are closely related. Hitchcock really understood the montage.

      3.5+ It's Hume Cronin again... May I ask how many long lenses does he require his screenwriters to include, otherwise they won't let them shoot? XD The look and feel is much better than Rope, and the melodrama plot is better than nothing. The so-called "perfect murder" of looking for trouble is more convincing, and the camera movement and focal length changes are effective at introducing characters and showing their relationships. Joseph Cotton's role Soo made me dizzy, Bergman's is really not...

      Why is my aesthetic so different from that of the last century, I think Ingrid Bergman is too pretentious and ugly. The first few minutes made me think she was crazy. Director, Alfred...

      7. Xi Pang followed the first shot of "Rope" to the end, and made this film again. The protagonist's performance was very good, and many long shots were also shot well. However, the story was a bit rotten, and the dialogue was too...

      Why are so many people here sighing that Bergman's acting is so good? Isn't it the kind of Bergman who is a little neurotic and a little strong, and it's not much different from "Under the Gaslight" and "Murder on the Orient Train". The stage wind was too heavy and felt...

    • The Governor: [referring to the crowd's reaction to his speech] Not a very warm welcome.

      Hon. Charles Adare: The climate's making up for that.

      Winter: We'll be sorry to lose you, sir.

      Hon. Charles Adare: If I may say so, Winter, I'm sorry to go. Not a bad place. It is said that there is some future for it, there must be- it's a big country.

      Winter: Then why are you leaving, sir?

      Hon. Charles Adare: That's just it, Winter. It's not quite big enough. Bye, good luck.

      Narrator: In seventeen-hundred and seventy, Captain Cook discovered Australia. Sixty years later, the city of Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, had grown on the edge of three million square miles of unknown land. The colony exported raw materials. It imported material even more raw - prisoners, many of them unjustly convicted, who were to be shaped into the pioneers of a great dominion. In eighteen-hundred and thirty-one King William the Fourth sent a new governor to rule the colony. And now our story begins.
