First of all, this movie was watched in two times. The first time I watched it for 10 minutes, I was too sleepy and fell asleep. After I watched it today, Hitchcock once again mastered the plot scenes skillfully; The details are convincing. The movie "Destroying Flowers" roughly talks about a murdered male protagonist, Uncle Charlie. In order to avoid the police chasing, he came to the hostess’s home to take refuge, and then all kinds of clues leaked his own. Story. First of all, Hitchcock’s portrayal of the characters: Uncle Charlie: He is a cynical but very calm person. From his dialogue, we can see that he is very strict in doing things. From the experience of running away from home at the age of 16, we have We can know why Uncle Charlie is cynical. In the conversation with Little Charlie, we can also learn about the suffering he suffered outside. In his eyes, the world is cruel, so he has become psychopathic. At the same time, he is also A cunning man who deceives the sympathy of his family and the hostess, but he is not a cruel killer or Hitchcock is not a cruel director (before I watched a lot of Italian lead porn movies, and I was a little uncomfortable...) Little Charlie: He has a higher education in school, is a young angry young man, and is looking forward to and waiting for a turn in his life, so when he meets Uncle Charlie, he will be so excited. Then there is the family: this family is not rich, My father works in a bank, and my daughter Anne is a little bookworm. Why do we have so many roles? One is to promote the plot, and the other is to further portray the role of Uncle Charile.

The most weird scene in this film is that non-existent dancing scene. The film appeared 3 times, the first time at the beginning, the second time when Uncle Charile gave Little Charile jewelry, and the third time at Little Charile. When I knew the truth, I thought this video was talking about sin. The movie’s viewing experience: the first 30 minutes was a bit dragged, it seems to be paving the way for the plot, there are several key points, such as the ring, such as the encounter at the bank Widow, after watching the whole movie, I think the first 30 minutes is to portray the characters. The first 60 minutes of the film has several advancements for Uncle Charile: the first time is the beginning: the second newspaper; the third detective However, Uncle kept avoiding the visit; the fourth time, the detective introduced the truth, and the fifth time the truth. The female protagonist hurriedly ran to the library and saw the newspaper. I personally think that this is the beginning of the film's rhythm. At the same time, I also feel that The appearance and acting skills of the heroine of the film are very good. The performance of the trust and admiration for Uncle at the beginning, and the disgust and disappointment for Uncle afterwards is vivid. Personally, the scene of the first detective visit and the scene in the bar is very exciting. Let’s talk about the shortcomings of the film: 1. The love scene with the male detective is completely unnecessary. 2. The conversation between the father and his friend is also completely unnecessary. It may be that Xi Pang wants to fight for a little cleverness 3. The male protagonist is just like that. died? ? At the end, it seems to be the end of a reunion. The bad guy died, the family was not hit, Uncle’s credibility was not damaged, and the heroine was always injured. I thought of the ending of "The Dark Knight". The last heroine The words with the detective also reminded me of the Dark Knight. This world is not only sin and pain, but also beauty and hope. Up to you. PS. Xi Pang made a cameo on the 16-minute train.
