Is the director with routines an artist?

Looking back on my reading history, I can’t help but find that "Hitchcock and Truffau Talk" is the first book I bought after I walked on the path of mystery. At first, the experience of this book was shelved like another "Goethe Talk". After watching Hitchcock's movie, I will feel inexplicably moved when I look back at this book. In 2015, the documentary film of the same name shot by Kent Jones was screened for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival. In this 80-minute documentary, the director used the recordings of the conversation between the two, film fragments, and of course, more importantly, multiple Interview with a director who was heavily influenced by Hitchcock. Among them, the most photographed are Wes Anderson, David Fincher and Martin Scorsese. The two most three-dimensional works analyzed: One is "Victoria" and the other is "Mentally Ill".

In film history, no one dared to deny the status of Hitchcock and Truffaut, but the two directors met together and spent a week analyzing Hitchcock's work. It’s really interesting to think about this situation. It’s like Jia Zhangke, who made his debut in the film world with "Xiao Wu", but regards Spielberg as the male god, and tried his best to persuade him to spend a week reviewing "ET", "Jaws", "Hintler's List"... Jia Zhangke worked hard to tell the society that although Spielberg is an entertaining director in the eyes of the public, he actually has a series of routines, and this This routine is stylized, not only stylized, but also has a high artistic value, which is why, a literary and artistic male god like me, will serve him as my male god.

Some people say that movies are concrete, and as an art form, it is difficult for movies to express people’s complex inner activities, but Hitchcock did it, not only did it, Moreover, the imaging of mental activities has been achieved to the extreme. In the West of that era, people's hearts became anxious amidst material desires, and they were affected by the Cold War crisis and anti-communism, and everyone was in danger.

||Just ask, in an insecure society, what would a person be like?

An innocent person.... But
he has been framed as a mentally ill person... He has acrophobia, necrophilia, fetishism, transvestism...

this is Hitchcock He has a deep set of the protagonist in the story.

||Just ask, in a society where today does not know tomorrow, what is the logic like?

Here, Hitchcock is very cunning. It emphasizes the logic of dreams rather than true logic. He broke your expectations, yet tempted you to go deeper, but inadvertently opened up the perspective of God, and passed on the guilt further.

Back to the film art itself, when Mr. Zhou Chuanji was teaching, he mentioned film=cinema. When this French word was coined, we thought it was about motion Art, and in Hitchcock's film, through the rich transition design, the simplicity and smoothness of the movement are realized.

Back to film art itself, unlike other arts, film art is an art about time and space, and Hitchcock’s early engineering background has just given him a precise grasp of space.

Written at the end
of the era of large-scale studios, Hitchcock’s pioneering attitude allowed him to go further and further in the direction of authorship and technological innovation, and become a new wave of directors. Spiritual mentor. In the current era of star grabbing and big stars being king, it is of great significance to mention Hitchcock again.
