The first half of the story tells that a retired police officer with acrophobia was entrusted by a friend to follow his friend's suicidal wife Madeleine. During the stalking process, the two had a love and admiration for each other, but in the end Madeleine fell from the clock tower to the ground. Died. In the original book, the mystery of the final story didn't really come to light, and what Hitchcock had to do was how to turn the mystery in the original book into the suspense in the film, and gradually portray the anxiousness and obsession of the characters between reality and illusion. In the film, you can see that when the hero meets Judy who is very similar to the dead Madeleine, Hitchcock hints that we Judy is the dead Madeleine. In this way, when we know the plot in advance, we will have a suspense, when the male protagonist knows the truth is what he will do. How does the end of the story flicker. The result of this often makes the character image appear more perfect and vivid under the elaborate plot design and speculation of the audience.
It is not so much the art of creating suspense as it is a channel for anxiety. Hitchcock used adventure stories beyond daily life and thrilling screen effects to make many people suffering from inexplicable guilt and anxiety temporarily forget the pain in the screen adventures he created. Fatty born with anxiety finds a sense of security in the art he has created with all his heart. I have to admit that Hitchcock is a genius who uses film methods to create suspense and tension. It is precisely because of these characteristics that Hitchcock's films are branded with interesting symbols.
