Hitchcock takes you from the very beginning into a rigorous and long-planned murder plan. The film shows two days after the crime and one day after the trial, and the whole count is only more than one day. Rigorous reasoning and compact structure are my greatest feelings, and the endless dialogue makes your mind keep thinking. The whole movie is still unfinished. Although I knew the result, I was still drawn by the plot.
The story shows all the variables that may arise in the implementation of a murder plan, and to a certain extent, allows us to see the hero's super resilience. At the same time, during the murder plan, the male protagonist maintains a calm demeanor from beginning to end, which makes you shudder at the coldness of this person.
In contrast, the biggest difference is the role of the heroine in the story. From this, it can be seen that Gwyneth has indeed played a modern woman, while in the old version, Grace Kelly can only be slaughtered by others. The image is much weaker by comparison. But this may have something to do with the background of that era.
In any case, the new version successfully adapted the script and told us a love story full of lies, while the old version of the movie was an out-and-out crime mystery movie, allowing us to have a good brainstorming.
From the bottom of my heart, Hitchcock's version is more flavorful in the handling of many details~~~~~~~~~
