Love to kill

To commemorate the death of Joan Fontaine, rewatch "Deep Boudoir Suspicious Cloud". Prove one thing: Xi Pang's hobby for abusing female protagonists by no means began with the female protagonist Tibi of "The Birds" (well, I learned later).

I've been thinking about a question: why among so many female celebrities, Tibby got the worst on the screen? Just because she is the least famous? The deep bosom suspiciously proves that Xi Pang, who has just arrived in Hollywood, has already begun to show his talent in abuse of female protagonists. Of course, the abuse at this time is more based on the psychological and spiritual level, while for Tibi it is naked physical torture and will-destroy. Whether it is "Big Thief" or "The Birds", it is both. This torture is not only for the role, but even extends to the actor himself. Unlike in "Deep Boudoir Suspicious Cloud," Qiong Fangden's fright is more of a performance. In the later period, Xi Pang became more and more keen on showing pornographic and functional scenes, perhaps because he was impatient to make too many hints. The desire for control and personal will have also expanded infinitely. And to a terrifying degree, it has been imitated and never surpassed.

Back to "Deep Boudoir Suspicious Cloud", Gary Grant played a scumbag through and through. It's not just a playboy. Some people say that the first half is a love story, but I think it's an SM game in the embryonic stage of Xi Pang. How deep is Xi Pang's fantasies about women's fear, control, and abuse! In short, in many movies, as long as he has the opportunity, he will humiliate his blonde stunners. Not long after the film started, the playboy flirted with the heroine, and he called her Monkey Face! And this name is always carried out. I don't know if the hero is happy or not when he shouts, the director must be so happy. May I ask which lover would have to invent or endure such insulting words? The hostess gladly accepted it. Later, when the hostess was afraid that her husband would do anything wrong to stop him, he immediately changed his face and issued a proclamation. The climax is the gloomy profile portrait of Gary Grant on a speeding car at the end of the movie. It's terrifying! This is marriage, this is husband and wife relationship, ha ha. When I first arrived in Hollywood, Xi Pang shot three husband and wife scenes in a row, and no husband and wife can be frank with each other. It can be regarded as laying the foundation for his views on the relationship between men and women.

Btw, this is probably the most abominable role Gary Grant has ever played. Regardless of whether he wants to kill or not, Xi Pang uses him to humiliate and abuse the hostess as much as he wants. The ending is not so important to me.

Suspicion quotes

  • Mrs. McLaidlaw: I'm afraid she's rather spinsterish.

    General McLaidlaw: What's wrong with that? The old maid's a respectable institution. All women are not alike. Lina has intellect and a fine solid character.

  • Lina: Why are you frank with me, because I'm... different?

    Johnnie: No, no, it isn't that. I'm honest because with you I think it's the best way to get results.
