Hitchcock's classic masterpiece

Was named Hitchcock's most classic work. The protagonist is an innocent advertiser who is chased by terrorist organizations for no reason. This is a scam created by counterintelligence agencies to combat terrorist organizations, using the protagonist as a bait to attract enemies to the bait. In this classic Hitchcock model movie, in fact, the entire character in the film revolves around a non-existent him. A similar situation can also be seen in other Hitchcock films. In the film, the protagonist is often involved in dangerous situations of one kind or another in order to find a secret, and people only discover that this so-called secret doesn't exist after people have been bloodshed for him. This is McGoffin, which can make the rhythm of the film more compact. When the plot is handled properly, only the key objects of the film can be reduced, so that the setting and unfolding of the suspense will not be damaged. And this film illustrates this perfectly. Recommended!

    You become a non-existent person. The classic plane killing scene is really shocking on the big screen. A fat man next to him opened the soundtrack to explain to the innocent girl: you know, everyone says Nolan's "Interstellar" cornfield? In fact, the original source is here.

    I personally think that most of Hitchcock's films are too similar. . The shooting technique is more predominant in black and white films, and it is not reflected in color films such as this film. . It is Cary Grant again, but he always feels that Hitckcock belongs to a genre regardless of whether he chooses the protagonist. He does not act as a calm type. . Movies generally have some fairly classic small fragments. .
