Hitchcock's transformation

Hitchcock has been making suspense dramas under the large structure system all his life, but he has been changing all his life. Hitchcock’s inventions have continued since the suspense of the "wrong person" was developed in "Thirty-Nine Steps" in 1935.
"Imperial Soul", he shot to the end, "Rear Window" he had a scene to the end, "Lifeboat" he played a small space fear, "Mentally Ill" he was a psychoanalytic film where the protagonist died first, and it was the time of "Frenzy" He broke the concept of the wrong person again and misled the audience with the actor’s behavior at the beginning, thinking that the actor was a murderer, but in the end he played the audience again. It turned out that the actor could really be a murderer, if it weren’t because of the bed. If the person lying there is a dead person, this is the most subtle part of this film. Moreover, Hitchcock is not implicit in violence in this film. The scene of pulling a bow tie in a potato pile has a sense of horror and black humor. The atmosphere is full, and even reminds me of the blood maze and ice storm of the Coen brothers. No wonder the Coen brothers are called the new generation of Hitchcock.
PS: In this film, Hitchcock still appears in the film. Among the crowd at the opening dock, he is a fat old man with a solemn expression.

    The inspector and his wife are so cute! It still maintains the combination of suspense and humor. At the end, it made people nervous, and then the harvest was very clean.
