Some Feelings of "The Rope"

I think of Joyce's The Dead, considered the best English-language short story of the twentieth century, Hitchcock is a feast that begins after the dead, full of swaying wine glasses and uncomplicated character relationships After a boring meeting, Joyce took people to the ancient dead, to the snow in Ireland, one killed the dead because of the concept of superman and superior, and the other was in youth. The longing to die in love, the philosophy of fear, the peaceful exploration, the intertwined death of loneliness and the boring reunion, the rope and the pistol and the whistling siren at the end constitute the body of this film, the romantic memory and the lonely reality also. A vague future is Joyce's body. Romance and fear are just two sides of the same thing. Silence and death are the only truths in a puzzling reality. The fear of death and the yearning for the harmony of love are mutual. Bonding, no winner, no murderer, no fictional or reminiscence, togetherness and separation are equally fascinating, love and suspicion are equally fascinating, and I don't think this movie is more fascinating than "Dr Edward" or "Psychopath" Frightened, I read it with a peaceful heart, like reading Joyce's novel with a touch of sadness, immersed in the siren and snowflakes in the sky, gays play the piano at the last moment, and I also hold the wine glass , to celebrate something passed and to come.
