The review is a bit long, I can't write it and replace it with a film review, but I will make a pi film review

The rhythm of the movie is super fast at the beginning and a little slower in the later climax.

I didn't know it was Hitchcock's movie when I first watched it, but I found out after seeing the familiar Hitchcock-style zoom. The heroine is so beautiful. When the hero and heroine looked at the photos of their honeymoon, the light on the screen made her look so beautiful. And when I wore the same Rebecca dress to the prom later on, I could imagine the fluffy and color harmony of that dress in my head.

When the heroine opens, the shirt she wears in the restaurant is also very good-looking, and the underwear she wears when she agrees to the male lead's proposal is also very good-looking! ah... strayed. Last but not least, the male protagonist is also very handsome!

At first, I felt that the character of the male protagonist should be someone who would go his own way and have a strong desire to control, so he couldn't stand Rebecca's equally strong desire to control and express himself. Later, I found out that the male protagonist is an idiot who is easily irritable, has great mood swings, is easily provoked, but at the same time is easily attracted by the female protagonist's warmth and tears.

I found the director's image of Rebecca interesting. At the beginning, what was presented to the audience was an image that was very beautiful in appearance and charming in character, and conquered everyone around him. At the same time, he is also very capable and keeps the manor in good order. When the male protagonist confessed in the hut, he became an image of high self-interest, very good at playing with people's hearts and bewitching people. Make everyone outside think she's super perfect. Even her personal maid, who knew everything about her, was still so determined. In the end, after everyone went to the doctor, they found that what Rebecca had learned was not about her pregnancy but about cancer. At that time, what she did when she went back was to stimulate the male protagonist with words. She didn't know that what she hoped was that the male protagonist was not angry enough to hurt her, so that the perfect marriage and happy life that all the public thought were broken? Or the anger after learning about cancer, venting at the male protagonist? Or let the male protagonist kill her, anyway, she is going to die herself. In this way, the male protagonist can't escape this disaster?

Overall, it's pretty good, the pictures are good, and the characters are beautiful. The rhythm is also very fast, at least not boring. It's just that there are a few clips in the middle where I can't wait to knock the heroine's head to make her feel rising. But to say how amazing it is, it doesn't seem to be...

Rebecca quotes

  • Mrs. de Winter: [opening voice-over] Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter, for the way was barred to me. Then, like all dreamers, I was possessed of a sudden with supernatural powers and passed like a spirit through the barrier before me. The drive wound away in front of me, twisting and turning as it had always done. But as I advanced, I was aware that a change had come upon it. Nature had come into her own again, and little by little had encroached upon the drive with long, tenacious fingers. On and on wound the poor thread that had once been our drive, and finally there was Manderley. Manderley - secretive and silent. Time could not mar the perfect symmetry of those walls. Moonlight can play odd tricks upon the fancy, and suddenly it seemed to me that light came from the windows. And then a cloud came upon the moon and hovered an instant like a dark hand before a face. The illusion went with it. I looked upon a desolate shell with no whisper of the past about its staring walls. We can never go back to Manderley again. That much is certain. But sometimes, in my dreams I do go back to the strange days of my life, which began for me in the South of France.
