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.

    I watched some clips when I was very young, and finally watched the whole thing. But expectations were lowered due to early knowledge of the murderer

    One of the funniest Hitchcock films. The film is quite straightforward, without a lot of chatty dialogue. The male protagonist is very unlucky. Although he is innocent, all the suspects point to him. Even sleeping at a friend's house, the pot can come from the sky. If it hadn't been for the detective's wife's determination (the wife should stop cooking, let's solve the case), the hesitant detective might not have gone to overturn the case. In this film, you can see many Hitchcock shots, and the characters' expressions are close-up, creating a suspenseful and tense atmosphere. In fact, I think this film is fortunate not to play with flowers, unlike the later suspense and murder movies, the murderer has a clever way of committing the crime, the intention to kill is unexpected, and the location of the crime is erratic... The murderer in this film is brought directly to the home to commit the crime, which is also a big heart. For such an insignificant serial killer, the police are helpless. Of course, the biggest bug is that fingerprint technology is not used. Haven't started collecting yet?
