When the ending of the film appeared, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. The ending similar to THEWRONGMAN made me sigh secretly and let Hitchcock play for more than an hour. The difference with the reunion is that the style of this stage play is heavier, similar to STANGERSONATRAIN. Moreover, the opening gongs and drums were also hit in a train scene, encounters, deliberate conversations, attracts, and then a thrilling story is out of control.
Looking at the tidbits, there are two comments about the sexual consciousness of LINA played by JOANFONTAINE. The role drove her to finally succumb to her husband's criminal planning. The 41-year movie certainly doesn't give much space in this respect, just like the metaphorical homosexual relationship in ROPE. But this time I wouldn't think about the sexual depression of this beautiful country lady if there is no comment prompt. But without this Zeng factor, her series of changes really cannot be explained. The costumes on the train, prom, after marriage, become more and more sexy, more and more charming (black and white films are really different for the presentation of women's beauty. So I have been skeptical about the black and white effects of NOVAK in VERTIGO. Of course, this film The color effect is a very important factor, similar to the special scene atmosphere constructed by the complicated lines of light, shadow and decoration in the black and white works of Xi Pang).
The backgrounds of the hunting start and the walk outside the church are rare rural effects. Especially the latter is not Hollywood style at all. The comment said that this paragraph will give the audience a misunderstanding of the imminent crime. I am just surprised by the wilderness in the background, which is depressing and chaotic. Later, in the study room of her parents’ house and the staircase scene of her married residence, the closed effect and the confusion and suspicion formed an excellent contrast, especially the shadow of the window pane illuminated by the skylight. The block is divided, and the camera captures the precise light and shade changes with the movement of the character. I have to admire once again the complex and detailed changes that the black and white film effect exhibits in this environment cannot be achieved by the color effect. Also in VERTIGO, churches and museums (or galleries, the decoration is too luxurious) use simple architectural lines to complicate the composition of the picture to create a suspense effect, while restaurants and hotel rooms use bright color changes to attract the audience. The attention strengthens the dramatic effect. Only the background of the stable scene is rarely blurred. I don't like this part too much. The scenes and the outside scenes in the woods are more complex effects. THEWRONGMAN handled the picture extremely concisely, focusing more on the complex facial expressions and the changes in light and darkness, and the composition became more complicated only in the scene of entering the prison.
The ending of the film was imposed by the filmmaker, because the original ending would "damage" the image of Hollywood popular lover Gary Grant. But it has to be said that this is also the biggest failure of the film. With the consent of the producer Selznick, Hitchcock chose Fangdon as the heroine of the film, and she won the Oscar for this. Many people believe that the reason why she was able to win the award for this film was a deliberate arrangement by the Film Arts Association to make up for her regret that she failed to win the award in one fell swoop for her exquisite performance in "Butterfly Dream". The film is co-written by Mrs. Hitchcock's long-term partner Harrison and the famous playwright Lafayerson, and Hitchcock's suspenseful layout adds to the eerie atmosphere. It is a pity that the climax of the whole film failed to fully express Hitchcock's conception, and the ending that was slightly less shocking was a big failure. But even so, the box office record of this film is still above the standard, and there is still a surplus in summary.
