Thrilling milestone

A milestone in the movie history of "The Cry"! In the 109-minute story, director Hitchcock used a textbook-like rhythm to lead the audience to every suspense and fear that the audience set to him. This "Scary" filmed in 1960 should also be regarded as the originator of the split personality type film. Although it does not have the cool high concepts of "Fatal ID" and "Fight Club", the film more than 50 years ago is still watched. A strong sense of substitution, the parallel montage of the bathroom murder is a classic in film history, Hitchcock is like a stubborn obsessive-compulsive patient who has completed this work extremely neat and three-dimensional. 9 points! ps: The real fear comes from the heart, there is no frightening lens, just through the cooperation of light, shadow and sound, you inadvertently plant the source of fear for you!

    [S] HOLY SHIT! He is undoubtedly the highest work of Fat Guards, this film makes "suspense" appear weak in any other work. A few literary dramas in the opening briefly introduce the characters and quickly enter the topic. Although the first half is only motivated by "theft", the sense of immersion from the first-person perspective throughout the entire process makes suspenseful (a sense of suspense of escape is enough to kill later generations of "murder") ; And the story after the famous bathroom murder is further upgraded to solve the case, which includes hiding the corpse and the second murder; the ending and the epilogue push the suspense to the climax and explain all the doubts in the whole film, and it seems that all the dust settles and ends. His monologue is creepy. Although the case-solving process in the second half is a bit repetitive and clichéd, it is really insignificant compared to the surprise of the whole film. The originator of split personality and the pinnacle of psychological horror and suspense.

    The beginning of the suspense thriller, the first half of the heroine absconded with the money, the rainy night driving, the overnight stay in the villa, the bathroom was killed in a dangerous situation, the offensive gaze of the police and the lascivious peeping of the boss were all depressing and fearful; the second half Part of the truth is revealed step by step, supplemented by Oedipus complex, split personality, several twists and turns have caused multiple sensory and psychological stimulation and shock, full of dramatic tension. I hate the conclusion of the psychologist at the end.
