#麦格芬迷# The 10th issue of "Mr. Pelham's Case" recommended star: three-star keywords: special; similar; fuzzy. This episode is again a story directed by Hitchcock himself. In the series, there are certain The particularity. In this episode, there is no death, no violence, only the silent frame-up. This is the most terrifying thing. At a certain age, people are no longer accustomed to changing, and life becomes more regular. Certain diet, certain behavior, certain trajectory are all ways for others to know you.
The protagonist is such a successful single man, with simple interpersonal communication and regular life. There is only one servant around him who manages his daily life. Apart from work, he has no personal contacts. On an ordinary morning, he was pointed out by others in strange deeds. He smiled and thought that there was only one person who looked similar to him, but he didn't realize how similar there was to him.
Slowly, he discovered that there was a person who was not just like him. That person slowly penetrated into his life, integrated into his identity, everything was as natural as himself, even the closest person around him could not recognize him. The imitated person cannot prove himself, because the imitator will always be more alike than the imitated. For example, Chaplin and Ma Sanli cannot imitate themselves. People only want to believe the one that looks like. So the final development of the story has reached a very vague state, even if this episode is placed in the Yin Yang Demon Realm, it is not surprising. Sometimes it is better not to explain.
