Feeling 1

This is the male protagonist of "Behind the Window", but the performance in this show is not as brilliant as "Behind the Window". It may be a change in the character's personality, or it may be preconceived subjective emotions. The passion and freedom in "Behind the Window" Men make me like it more. Secondly, I don't like the heroine. Although she is very kind, her presence in such a compact spy movie will only drive me crazy. An unwise and kind person is really unpleasant, even if she is beautiful. There is also the German woman on the bus, who is noisy and yelling, she is simply a representative of fear that the world will not be chaotic in her life. On the contrary, the woman in the country cottage is admirable. She is more calm than the male protagonist in the series of scenes of killing Germans and handling corpses. Although she is also very scared, she has always used gestures to stabilize the male protagonist's emotions and is courageous. There are also women wearing black coats and getting off the plane at the beginning and the end. The reporter has not been photographing you. It's embarrassing. It is also a true portrayal of a large group of people who grab the headlines and show their faces in life. The plot is neither ugly nor brilliant, and it feels relatively plain. It may be that I watched too many Hitchcock movies recently and it became visual fatigue.

    It is mainly the political background that wins in a specific era, as well as the performances of the protagonists. The way it's told is good, and the overall story is actually just okay, but if you break down the details bit by bit, you can start a new chapter. The tones aren't particularly sensual, but rather it's more of a black and white movie. I think coming to Hitchcock's films in the 40s and 50s should be more attractive to me. ★★★☆

    Underrated second tier Hitchcock; taut and entertaining, full of fascinating visual concepts and brilliantly staged suspense; "hard man to kill" and "2 buses" sequences

Torn Curtain quotes

  • Hermann Gromek: Hot dog. You still say that?

    [chuckles]

    Hermann Gromek: Hot dog.

  • Hermann Gromek: Strictly for the birds, huh? They still say that? We used to say it all the time. It's strictly for the "boids."
