I watched this film when I was a freshman because of the famous bathroom murder clip. This classic thriller clip did not create a sense of horror through direct bloody blood blur, but through sprinklers, blood, and the hostess’s frightened face. , There are also all-black old women (to create suspense lighting), reflective shaking knives, part of the heroine's body, and the angle and scenery are also high and low, high and low, and there is a sharp and sharp voice. , The sudden killing caught the audience by surprise. In my opinion, the film is divided into the first half and the second half. The main part of the first half is the 40,000 pounds. The heroine was frightened for her and was spotted by the police. The second half was a murder case caused by the "mother-child relationship". Whether it is Oedipus complex that caused schizophrenia, or the heroine might be found out of her theft, Hitchcock has a lot of thoughts on the character's psychology in this movie; it implies that he has done a lot of homework. For example, the flow of people coming and going in front of the hostess’s car window, the hostess’s wide-open eyes while driving, and her imaginary narration, as well as the many bird specimens in the murderer’s living room. He imprisoned animals that should have been flying in the sky. By his side, it was as if he could not escape his mother and the prison in his heart. From his lines, we knew that his poor mother was tolerant to his mother. "A boy’s best friend is his mother." He was helpless but He allowed himself to accept and sink. In addition to the psychological description, this film is also very full of emotions. Hitchcock did not express much love, but it always made me feel more full than the love depicted in other films. It may be that the psychology of the characters is shown in this film. No longer did the movie deliberately do something for the sake of suspense and horror, he began to rationalize it. The last bit of horror is that the skeleton was found in the basement. The murderer had schizophrenia and was discovered by a psychiatrist. In the end, the murderer’s monologue (murderer’s mother) made people feel that the shell and the soul were no longer compatible. The boy who did not dare to resist his mother so much that he might split his mother to protect him couldn't help but lament that the family's influence on people is so great that it can destroy a person's spirit.
