A professional and experienced fan

This tribute to the master of suspense Hitchcock still has many highlights. Although the real murderer can be guessed about halfway through it, it does not detract from the excellent quality of the film.

The two bathing scenes at the beginning and the end echoed perfectly. The warm and calm soundtrack at the beginning and the coloring meant that the strong shower scene impact was not inferior to Lars von Trier's "Antichrist"; as for the terrifying ending. It made me stunned for a while. There is also the scene where the milfs Angie Dickinson is in the museum. There is not much space and the characters have no dialogue. The director has worked hard on all the details such as eyes, oil paintings, black gloves, and the back of the man. Kind of mysterious and dreamlike teasing. The signature split-screen scene appears only once, but its role is quite critical, secretly confessing the true identity of the protagonist of the film. All murder scenes, whether real or fantasy, create a first-class suspense and thriller atmosphere, especially the penultimate scene in the mental hospital, which is simply chilling.

DePalma has always been criticized as a "master" for parody and plagiarism. In my opinion, he is more like a professional and experienced movie fan. The object of his obsession is the bridges and details in classic movies. All the mediocre and vulgar plots can exude a nostalgic feeling under his lens. smell.
