Caravaggio’s classic elliptical composition makes the audience seem to be involved, which is very immersive.

Comparing the patient's operating expenses to the daily expenses of a couple, this entry point is both novel and very humorous.

Hitchcock himself, like a kid in that movie, came to a foreign world, watching everything is fun and novel. Of course, he also used the protagonist's mouth to humorously complain about other foreign customs that he is not used to, Hitchcock Kirk is really an interesting old kid.

The audience saw that a mother who took a sedative reacted so violently when she learned that the child was in danger, let alone the reaction under normal conditions, but the director implanted this scene into the audience’s imagination, thus changing the conflict. It has to be more conflicted, and the intensity becomes stronger. It can be described as a magical touch!

Hitchcock’s films can always be glimpsed into the European culture he interprets, architecture, clothing, etiquette, music, and painting. The self-confidence, deep understanding and artistic interpretation of this national culture integrate everything together. This is Cultural self-confidence.

In a grand concert, the fragility and tension of human nature and the conflict of interest between family and country are torn apart in this magnificent piece of music. It is really amazing!

    Hitchcock's skills in audio-visual language and mastery of control can be a model for suspense films. The concert hall, from the arrangement to the editing of the camera, and even the advancement of the story by the sound, are all exciting and unforgettable.
