Hitchcock's position in the history of film is unquestionable. His grasp of film is not only reflected in his extremely high control of the rhythm of the story, but also in his delicate degree of film. For every shot of each of his movies, he draws the storyboard, the location of the actors, the spatial structure, the set, etc. in advance. This makes many actors complain that there is no room for self-expression in Hitchcock's films.
The thrills and excitement embodied in this movie make you have to once again marvel at Hitchcock's grasp of the rhythm and plot of the movie, even now few people can match it. Every suspense point is unexpected. The clever thing is that there will be representative things in each suspense point, which is used to deliberately mislead the audience. Hitchcock deliberately keeps the audience's eyes fixed on the representative things, and constantly creates new waves during the period. Although a lot of inner thinking is missing, the audience still finds it extremely exciting.
In the first plot of this movie, Marianne steals the client’s 40,000 yuan and escapes all the way. The representative thing is the wrapped money. Every audience is holding their breath and staring at the money. At the end of this scene It turns out that the money is worthless in the next plot. In the second plot, my sister Layla went to find her sister’s boyfriend Sam because of the disappearance of her sister Marianne. When the private detective invited to the Bates Hotel, the detective lost contact. In addition, Sam and the private detective mentioned Bates’ mother. They decided to find their mother. The representative thing in this plot is Bates' mother. After a period of thrilling search, the truth is revealed, but the key thing is told that there is no such thing.
Everyone would have a cold sweat when Laila looked for Mrs. Bates, and when they found Bates’ mother, they would be surprised to find that Bates’s mother was a skeleton, and would be shocked by Bates’ split personality. Then the movie ends for a long time and I am full of aftertastes.
It’s also amazing that the heroine is already dead in one third of the movie. Few directors have this kind of boldness and courage. After all, the protagonist is the narrator of a movie, and the audience has been following the protagonist’s Observing the entire plot from an angle, the absence of the protagonist can easily lead to chaos in the entire film structure. Hitchcock is very accurate in his emotions, and simple plots can be twisted and twisted in his hands.
The story is so exciting and amazing.
