"Perfect Murder" should have a very typical theatrical structure. This is a movie like a tribute to the mystery master Hitchcock, but the plot has changed. In this movie, a suspense that has always been closely attached to the audience is whether the wife was killed or not. According to the three-act play with theatrical structure, it is not difficult to find that in the construction part, we can see that the male protagonist To murder the heroine, and made a series of plans. In the process of building, I explained the different personalities of the three characters and the "introduction" to the development of the story-the husband with the green hat asked the lover to kill his wife. Such a dramatic plot continued to develop in the story. Advance, but the wife did not kill. So when it comes to the third act, it is how the husband kills his lover and finally murders his wife again. The climax is that the plot reverses and the wife kills the husband. The use of long shots in the whole movie is mainly reflected in the two characteristics of tracking and top shots. The tracking-style long lens actually represents the effect of the human eye. Unlike the montage switching, the long lens restores the real scene through the movement of the camera (of course the scene is designed), which guarantees the completeness of the event in terms of time. The depth-of-field lens allows the full picture of the space to be displayed very clearly because of the large depth of field. On the one hand, it is to show the authenticity of the film. On the other hand, the audience obtains a lot of information, which is convenient for the audience to reason about clues. The scheduling of long shots also contains a certain degree of metaphor. For example, in the opening scene, continuous tracking and top shots make the passion scene of the two people look natural and even have some aesthetics. I think the role here is a hint, indicating that it is indeed The current relationship between the wife and this lover is real, and it also pave the way for the husband to murder his wife. Through the lens, we can find that there is actually a rift in the relationship between the husband and the wife. As for the details, in this work I want to divide it into three categories, first, lens details (close-up), second, prop details, and third line details. Let's talk about the details of the shot first. The details of the suspense film are used to indicate clues, or to cause emotional changes. So many close-up shots, pushed from a distance to close-up, give people a sense of fear in the visual psychology, and there is a rhythmic soundtrack, and then directly cut into some close-up shots, which naturally makes people feel psychologically uncomfortable. feel. Let's talk about the details of the props. The details of any movie props are the most attractive, because the role is like the "grass snake gray line" in storytelling. Once a close-up prop appears, it must be a clue that is "thousands of miles" in the narrative of the movie. For example, the appearance of rings and necklaces in the movie is to explain that the wife's identity is beautiful and rich, while the appearance of the key at the end tells the audience or grasps the audience and sets up suspense. Finally, I will talk about the details of the lines. The details of the lines may not be reflected in the play. For example, when the wife communicates with others, she said that the agreement is signed before marriage. The explanation of this line is also for the following wife to gradually discover the husband’s problem and ambush. Pen.

    The remake of "Telephone Murder", but there are many changes. The third party became a painting lady killer. The husband directly coerced the third party to kill his wife, but the other party outsourced the work. Facing the threat of a third party... This change made the husband who was the main point of view even more aggrieved, and Gwyneth was almost killed twice without getting much sympathy points. In fact, the phone call in the original script is no longer necessary today. Going out to play cards is an alibi. You make a phone call that can easily be traced back. And the script is too calm. The threat letter sent by Douglas, as well as the motive for killing his wife, were not revealed until the second half, which made the viewers of the previous plot confused and anxious, and the flaw itself There is no need to put it in the back to round it. Douglas was very imposing as soon as he appeared on the stage. When he saw the second face, he smashed the results of the investigation into the face of a third party. How could someone with such resources and skills plan such a poor plan and deal with the aftermath in such a panic? Can't figure it out. Poirot was cast for the role of the police detective, which is a bit of a bad taste
