The glass curtain wall is similar to a cage, which stipulates the living area of ​​people in the city; the subtitles and casts are designed in accordance with the direction of the lines, giving people a sense of regulation and fatalism.

At the beginning, people rushed out of the office building and rushed to the subway station, reminding me of "Factory Gate".

Escape from the United Nations and choose overhead photography. I especially love the color scheme and geometric beauty of the objects in this lens.

Needless to say, the classic brain hole of film history.

    Hitchcock’s classic suspense film is not bad. I watched it as a child, but I don’t have any impression. Revisiting it again, the two episodes are more impressive. The section where the hero and the hero met on the train, and the section where the two later climbed down from the Presidential Hill. Finally, Xi Pang added the hint of the train entering the tunnel at the end, which later became A kind of classic bridge.
