A wise man will make a mistake

A wise man will surely miss a wonderful murder and anti-murder.

The male protagonist is really a high-IQ intellectual. Calm and steady, calm and courteous, he can adapt to any sudden changes. A cheating wife will make the audience have a certain sympathy for the male protagonist, and then the male protagonist takes advantage of his wife and lover to go out to watch a movie, and uses the phone at home to deceive an old classmate, that is, an accomplice. At first, the male protagonist pretended to be enthusiastic and chatted with his old classmates about life and the past. Bit by bit, he told his own cheating wife, and he knew the life of his accomplice very well. , successfully asked an old classmate to help him kill his wife.

The conversation between the male lead and the female lead's lover before they went out to the party was really a stroke of genius, completely foreseeing and running through everything that followed. "Because in fiction things usually go the way the author wants them to go; in real life it doesn't...it always does." "Well. I'm afraid my murder will be as bad as my bridge: I would make stupid mistakes and never realize them until I found out that everyone was looking at me."

The murder process that I thought was changed again and again, with twists and turns, although the male protagonist was smart enough to resolve it, who knows - the accomplice was killed by the female protagonist in the end! It feels so easy to kill. The scissors were also a coincidence. It was the male protagonist who asked the female protagonist to cut the newspaper. That casual detail became a classic in the end.

The strain after the male protagonist - let the female protagonist take the blame. The whole detail processing is also step by step, the whole thing is to dig pits for the heroine, and the heroine jumps into it stupidly.

The second male is a writer, and the whole reasoning about the male lead is absolutely the same. It's a pity that there is no evidence, and the appearance of the detective has made everything ironclad.

I finally know why this film didn't get a nine out of 10, because it's a bit complicated later, and the logic feels a bit unreasonable. Why is the male protagonist in such a hurry to spend money? How does the detective know that the key is under the carpet? (Well, it feels a little unrealistic that the heroine can still be released the day before her execution) The detective's explanation doesn't quite understand either.

The heroine's bright red warm skirt at the beginning, and the delicate makeup are really amazing, beautiful to the bones, and the dark clothes behind it, showing the old and hungry makeup, haggard, weak, reflecting the whole change of the heroine, bright and bright Haggard, you can see the blow of this murder. The male protagonist was in a calm formal suit until the end, reflecting the male protagonist's calm and steady style. Even if he was seen and surrounded in the room at the end, he could calmly pour himself a drink.

If the male protagonist didn't ignore his wife, the wife didn't understand her husband's work because of her husband's neglect, or if she turned around, and the male second didn't continue to be connected with the female protagonist, maybe there would not be this murder case, and nothing else. The male protagonist's thousands of worries, and finally missed the key key, and it seems inevitable, there is no absolutely perfect crime. The final ending is a bit open and open, leaving the audience with all kinds of conjectures and thoughts.

Hitchcock director, an old film, very flavor.

Dial M for Murder quotes

  • Tony Wendice: [on the phone to a lawyer] We had a burglary last night, and Margot was attacked. No, she's all right. But the man was killed, and the police are here now. And don't laugh... they're suggesting that Margot killed him intentionally!

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: [interrupting Tony] I wouldn't say that if I were you, sir.

  • Mark Halliday: When did you find out, sir?

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: Well, the first clue came quite by accident.

    [to Margot]

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: We discovered that your husband had been spending a large number of pound notes all over the place - it ran into over three hundred pounds - and it appeared to have started at about the time you were arrested. Now, I had to find out where he got that money, and how. Then I remembered that after you were arrested we searched this flat, and I saw a copy of his bank statement in that desk. So yesterday afternoon, I went to the prison and asked to see your handbag. While I was doing this, I managed to lift your latchkey. Highly irregular, of course, but my blood was up. And then this morning when your husband was out, I came back here to look at his statement. I never saw it... because I never got through that door. You see, the key that I'd taken from your handbag didn't fit the lock!
