It is suitable for thinking on rainy nights when the wireless is broken and the 4G current is limited.
The first time I came into contact with Hitchcock was in "Psycho" which was an elective course in college in 2014. At that time, I couldn't understand his skills as a director. I only remember being scared and hugging my girlfriend next to me, leaving only this as a cameo A shallow impression of a funny old man of his own movies. It is not until now that I have dug deep into other classic works of West Fatty, and then I realized what Hitchcock-style suspense and McGuffin technique are, and noticed some shooting techniques, light and shadow effects, story structure and film rhythm, reversal, etc. Wait.
This feeling is reflected most vividly in Vertigo. The reversal of more than half of the viewing time negates all the foreshadowing of the slow progress before, and the sympathy for the heroine dissipates in an instant. Maybe that is what others call the golden eight minutes at the end. "Rear Window" and "Telephone Murder" are similar. The entire shooting is completed in a closed scene, telling a great story without feeling boring. The former even runs several story lines in parallel, while the latter's logic is worthy of praise!
The use of McGuffin's technique refers to "Butterfly Dream", "Would you like to go to New York with her, or go back to Mandoli with me?" The casual proposal across the room satisfies the house's fantasy of love. And Rebecca is the prototype of the femme fatale in American dramas. "Doctor Edward" cooperated with Freud, and Dali drew a dream picture, and the plot was reversed in ten minutes at the end, psychological art!
The magic is that I am very anxious when I look at Xi Fatt's work, always worried that it will not have a happy ending. After reading it, I feel that I am still unfinished. I can't help but scrutinize the details and analyze the shooting art. Maybe in Hitchcock's works, the actors are not enough. He exists like a vase, and his own charm has surpassed the movie itself~
It is also worth mentioning that the heroine is always noble and elegant, fashionable and exquisite, and the hero is always meticulous in hairstyles and suits, burly and handsome, with a strange plot, and a love story under the strange BGM...emmmm
Finally, I would like to thank this great director of the last century for taking me into the door of the world of suspense, and I began to think about some problems, accept loneliness, and absorb spiritual nutrients.
