    1. The assassination scene in the Albert Hall is a classic, cross-cut of cymbals, Dai, Stewart, the killer, and the score, screaming and full of tension. 2. Oscars [Que sera sera] and the whistle of reconciliation. 3. Enter the taxidermy shop, swordfish and tiger head. 4. Comedy episodes such as the son stealing a headscarf, Stewart's long legs, and grabbing chicken legs in the opening chapter show the embarrassment and embarrassment caused by cultural differences, adding a lot to the film. (8.0/10)

    The opening platinum, a crisp sound heralds a carefully premeditated killing. The family of three was helplessly involved in the conspiracy. It was music that resolved the hatred and saved the warmth. Whatever Will Be, Will Be is a warm and affectionate song that fits the occasion. The mother and son sing to the whistle, which is the mark of family affection and blood. Interrupting the filming of the musical is extremely exciting, with a sin ambush in the high-pitched music, which is tense and exciting. The cuts and angles are very good. Hitchcock filmed "The Killing" for the second time. The 1934 version is black and white, and I will revisit it when I get a chance. The warmth of the family of three complements the responsibility of the righteousness of the family and country, reflecting the director's absolute position. There are many classic scenes in the movie that were later imitated and paid tribute, such as "The Godfather 3".
