Ecstasy

The subtitle animation at the beginning is good. I thought it was a computer screen saver. The protagonist detective is training himself to overcome the fear of heights, rising up step by step, and then falling down cutely and slumping on top of the woman. Classmate Gavin sent him to follow his wife. The wife's great-grandmother was abandoned. Was her illness due to heredity? Or is it a ghost upper body? Or she played an abandoned role in her subconscious mind, looking at the portrait of her great-grandmother in her words and deeds, and then dressed up as that person. This shows that the wife has a bad relationship with her husband, and she feels abandoned. The detective's image is very similar to 007, with deep eyes, but he has a certain age. The camera he was following the woman while driving was very flat. The silver-white car seems to be very long, perhaps because of the wide screen. The trance of women compares with "Fifth Avenue." The woman kept looking into the distance while kissing the detective. It turned out that Gavin was killing his wife there. After Gavin's wife committed suicide by jumping from the church tower, the detective who fell in love with "Gavin's wife" had a nightmare. This is a very good segment. The background color was red and green constantly changing, and he felt himself falling like a piece of paper. Later, he was admitted to a mental hospital. The woman who liked him once jokingly changed the woman in the portrait to her own face, and this time told the doctor "Mozart may not be of use to him." Later he was discharged from the hospital and forced the act to find out the truth. The wife's woman went to the top of the church tower again, and after all explanations, she was frightened by the old bell-ringing nun who came suddenly and fell from the building. It is hard to say that the detective fell in love with this "fake wife". When I watched it, I always felt that it was almost over, but I didn't expect that there was still content.

Vertigo quotes

  • Midge: [to Scottie] For a man who has nothing to do, you're certainly a busy little bee.

  • Midge: It's wonderful how they've got it all taped now, John. They've got music for dipsomaniacs, and music for melancholiacs, and music for nymphomaniacs. I wonder what would happen if somebody got their files mixed up?
