I watched it for the first time in summer vacation (after watching sleep)
With the help of "Sequence Screenwriting Act", I watched it a second time.
Can't help but marvel at Hitchcock's story logic combing and dramatic irony tension.
One of the most amazing points is the design of Mr. Kapoor who does not exist.
The initial account of the background information of the characters is completed through the appointment with the secretary. The image of an advertiser who is good at dealing with people will stand up. At first, he would like to live a life of lies to doubt if Mr. Sohir is the real Kapoor.
Afterwards, Mr. Kapoor’s identity was revealed. In fact, this is just a virtual image to protect the investigator of the Intelligence Agency.
The establishment of Eve's character and the performance of the actors themselves are also very amazing. I thought Eve was the mistress used by the villain, but she was also the spy who was sacrificed by the Intelligence Bureau.
In this movie, the most important point is, besides the dramatic irony tension and Hitchcock's traditional narrative way of telling the audience that the protagonist does not know, there is also the sexual tension.
As a story, in addition to thinking about the concept from the perspective of the play, we must also consider the way of telling it. Maybe you can kill at the station, but if you choose to delay, is there a stronger visual experience of killing people in the farmland? Logic is very important, but we need to grasp how to tell this story.
