When I watched it for the first time, it was obvious that the director was playing with my mind, and the impression of some messy pictures in my mind had indescribable doubts and confusion. It was not until I looked back and watched it after watching that I realized that this film has long been detached. The description of the murder itself is confusing and confusing. Instead, the murderer's cruelty is used to symbolize the twisted psychology of the suppressed life.
The description of the heroine is the best part of this film. From a robe, a housewife with a face full of vicissitudes and dissatisfaction with her husband, to a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes who also wears high heels and formal clothes at home, her change is so sudden and sudden because of the appearance of the murderer. Five minutes before the film, our girl The protagonist has pushed this uneasy atmosphere to a considerable height, when the news of the murder of the prostitute is released on TV, her attention is completely attracted by the action of her husband cutting the steak, the kind of concentration that can't help but be affected by the disease, you I don't know why, but I have clearly felt quite uneasy. When you look back and taste it, you will find that at that time, perhaps our heroine was already controlling her own desires, the same as the murderer, and ultimately unstoppable desires.
The continuous pictures do not represent the continuation of thinking, which is the most classic part of this film. These continuous pictures mislead us into thinking that these are continuous times. However, in fact, one second before and one second, we are already in time and Folding in the space, jumping into some unreal imagination of the heroine. His husband represents the reality of the heroine's helplessness and deep disgust. When this rather vulgar man appeared, the house looked dark and messy, and the front door was dark and messy. The garden is overgrown with weeds. And when he's out, the home that owns Timmy is sunny and clean. At 21 minutes, her fantasy world is confirmed, if the audience is keen enough. The son pushes the door and enters, she Calling her husband's name, walking through the clean room, and then the camera slowly moved across the upstairs bedroom, the exterior scene was only two seconds, and her husband came in, she still thought she had just called her husband, but the whole kitchen had changed, gloomy , the large refrigerator by the table became a stool, and the placemats on the table also changed positions. The sleeping position of the sheriff and the photo of his wife and daughter on the table suddenly turned into an empty sofa and table. A lot of time.
There is a shot of the tenant standing in a brilliant light in a golden ratio position when the door is opened, and she smiles when he says he needs "something to inspire me". There is adoration and fascination in the sight. It's like she finally has faith in her life. The courage she needs to break her own life seems to really come into her life at this time. She sees him going out late at night, so Timmy disappears and she goes over and over again A person is lying in the middle of the bed in a graceful posture, as if a newlywed woman is expecting the most important person. She dresses up beautifully, watching the clock follow the heartbeat every second, accurately observing the time of her spiritual leader concept, and sent him a well-prepared breakfast. She felt everything he did, because she was so smart to analyze the cause and effect from the clues, which is why the murderer tried to escape her and dared not continue to drink in her house. The reason for the coffee. But she was still obsessed with everything he did, shy and nervous when she saw him naked and then expectantly like a girl. When she found him rummaging in his kitchen late at night for the murder weapon, she reverently She offered the scissors with both hands. At this moment, she had fully believed in him, and we should not be surprised that she would finally be willing to give everything to him, so as to be his scapegoat. In fact, it can be used as a psychological expression for the heroine, perhaps for her, this is a great sacrifice made by her god to save her.
The sheriff belongs to the tragic characters in the film. His story is actually similar to that of the heroine. He lives in a depressing world where it is difficult to find a way out. Because of this, he is actually deceived by the group of people who are easily deceived by appearances. People are misunderstood and even regarded as suspects. The people around him are seeking relief, but he survives in this repression, going deep into those dark spirits without being corrupted, but being misunderstood by the people around him. The director uses the life of a police detective The comparison of the heroine's life suggests her neuroticism, which is different from ordinary people's psychology. From the perspective of the complete narrative of the film, the sheriff is not a key character, and sometimes feels a little redundant. But from the expression of emotions and people In terms of integrity, the Sheriff is the indispensable link between the psychic mutants and ordinary people. His sometimes extreme attitude is misunderstood by normal people, and he is the main mind of the stalker. The concept of being at the intersection of Its characters are rich. He is indeed a typical example of how much 50% of modern America has psychological problems, but he is not a psycho killer, someone is.
I am not a fan of Hitchcock, and have not seen the old original, just It is quite fascinating to watch this film alone. Maybe the original work is more suspenseful and thriller, but I always feel that this kind of distorted depiction of emptiness is a popular practice in modern times, and this film is based on this story. It just performed more vividly.
