A model of parallel montage shooting

From the perspective of a thriller, suspense, and horror movie, "The Horror" is undoubtedly a success, at least in my eyes. The plot of the murder in the bathroom in "The Cry" has long become a classic shot in the history of film, and is later called a model of parallel montage shooting. In the entire murder scene, even though there is no picture of a knife inserted into the human body, through the use of montage techniques, the audience still frightened and brought naked horror to the audience. 45 seconds, 78 shots, the knife, the human body, the nozzle, the curtain, the drain hole, repeatedly quickly switch between the murderer and the murdered, the combination of different postures of the knife stabbing the victim, plus the water flow in the nozzle The switching between the curtain and the drain hole produces a kind of horror effect that the director desires. As Hitchcock thought: "The most nervous thing is not the disgusting way of death, but the atmosphere brewing before death." This murder scene is entirely composed of close-ups and close-ups, fast, fast-paced, and shocking. The force was great, which created the horror and excitement of the murder scene, and left a deep impression on people. It is worth noting that there is no dialogue in this scene. It is only expressed on the screen using movie language. It is shocking, terrifying, and exciting, and it is completely conveyed to the audience by the tension and information of the image of the picture.

    Only Xi Pang will do the heroine... in the middle. I'm sorry I got the spoiler, but you can only tell the truth when you see the end of the film. The bathroom scene has been said too many times, which makes it extremely unsurprising when I see it, alas.

    9/10. Revisit. Marion's and Norman's changes in perspective jointly interpret the failure to resist mind control: being molested by a depositor and peeping at the hole in the hotel wall where she changes clothes, both symbolize the objectification of women by male society, and those wearing sunglasses while driving away. The police approached Marion's eyes widening, and the flashing of exterior car lights in the heavy rain deepened the danger of rebelling against male control, proving that her money was wrapped in newspapers and the car sank into the swamp, declaring Marion's failure to challenge the laws of men. Mrs. Bates confirms the existence of motherhood by dominating her son. Owls and other bird specimens, dim and swaying lights, and low and dilapidated attic, seemingly fragmentary scenes form an image group of Oedipus complex, ending with the mother’s The skull appears on Norman's secret smile, and the mother controls the growth of men in a spiritual sense. After the murderous chaos in the bathroom, Norman returned to the room from outside the house in an orderly manner, took a bucket and a mop to clean up, and put the body carefully into the shower curtain; the detective who pressed Norman was imperative, but was quickly killed and turned over. Falling downstairs; the process of death creates disharmony in the calm scene scheduling.

    Sam Loomis: Hold it, you can't go up there.

    Lila Crane: Why not?

    Sam Loomis: Bates.

    Lila Crane: Then, let's find him. One of us can keep him occupied while the other gets to the old woman.

    Sam Loomis: You'll never be able to hold him still even if he doesn't want to be held. And, I don't like you going into that house alone.

    Lila Crane: I can handle a sick old woman!

  • Highway Patrol officer: Uh... hold it there. In quite a hurry.

    Marion Crane: [nervously] Yes. Uh... I didn't intend to sleep so long. I almost had an accident last night, from sleepiness. So I decided to pull over.

    Highway Patrol officer: You slept here all night?

    Marion Crane: Yes. As I said, I couldn't keep my eyes open.

    Highway Patrol officer: There are plenty of motels in this area. You should've... I mean, just to be safe.

    Marion Crane: Then I'm free to go?

    Highway Patrol officer: Is anything wrong?

    Marion Crane: Of course not. Am I acting as if there's something wrong?

    Highway Patrol officer: Frankly, yes.

    Marion Crane: Please... I'd like to go.

    Highway Patrol officer: Well, is there?
