I have a habit, as long as it is a good movie It must be watched twice, and twice in a row. In the second time, the baptism is sublimated again. In addition to the excitement, I reconfirmed: "Tenant" does not exist, there is only one murderer-----the landlord, the accomplice is the landlord Mrs. The Lodger doesn't exist. (PS: The landlady is so beautiful, the first time I knew she was playing the mother of a little boy in Dumari, I wanted to laugh when I thought of that naughty parrot saying "sexy mom!")
Why the murderer only one? Because the forensic doctor affirmed from the stab wound and the modus operandi that the murderer was the same person, the stab wound was like the signature left by the surgeon, and the close-up of the footsteps was obviously the same person, so the director clearly told us that the murderer who committed the crime was only One, but as for the accomplice, or the landlady who cut off the uterus, there is a possibility.
Fragment 1: At the beginning of the film, the landlord takes the return paper from the door, the landlady prepares breakfast, and the news broadcast on TV reports that a prostitute was killed, claiming that the murderer deliberately imitated the Rodriguez murder seven years ago. When she heard that the victim was a 30-year-old woman, the landlady's expression was a little surprised, but when the reporter said that she intended to imitate Rodriguez, the landlady immediately looked at the landlord, as if remembering some terrible memory, and couldn't help it. He picked up the cup, which is actually a manifestation of nervousness. When people are nervous, they will pick up the things around them and play with them. The landlady looks at the landlord's right hand holding the knife through the cup, and the TV station echoes in her ears. "knife". . . . . It can be seen from this that the landlady has some doubts about whether her husband is going to kill again, because the real murderer of the Rodriguez murder 7 years ago is her husband! The scapegoat, Rodriguez, was sentenced to death for misjudgment.
Fragment 2: The host said that the hostess should remember to take medicine, so that no one could see that she was mentally ill, lest the house could not be rented out. At this time, the hostess looked at the male host and smiled helplessly, and then as if nothing had happened, as if she was tired of the landlord being unaware of her personality split, and said, "What if the landlord is?" The landlady was not very sober, but At least I know that since the child was stillborn eight years ago, my husband has been beaten and became a mental patient.
Fragment 3: The landlord's wife told the landlord that the house was rented out and offered $3,000 for three months' rent. The landlord said, "This is the money your family gave you." In fact, the money is the landlord's money, and she rents it herself. down your own house. Then the landlord said: "are you sure he is not some kind of wacko?" The landlord's wife was actually used to her husband renting his own house, and she said something meaningful: "he seems eccentric, bu completely harmless, anyway, what choice do we have?" This is a classic line: what choice do we have? The question is, do we have a choice? You rent your own house, do we have a choice? no!
Fragment 4: Police officer Chandler, played by the famous Dr. Octopus. To be honest, when analyzing the plot of the whole case, this role is optional, but as the plot of the movie, he is indispensable, as a director's trick , including the suicide attempt of Chandler's wife, the estrangement of his daughter, the misunderstanding of the LAPD and the FBI, all misled the audience and aroused the audience's appetite. Before the finale, the audience will naturally regard Chandler as a suspect. One, obviously, the director succeeded. I also saw Chandler as one of the suspects until he finally rescued his daughter, but in the end it was clear that the officer was not the murderer. From the confirmation of the forensic doctor and the close-up of the footsteps, the director told us that there is only one murderer, and the police officer actually exists as a blind person, and the bell must be tied to the bell. In fact, this silent film of the same name made by Hitchcock in 27 years is slightly different, so we will feel a little far-fetched when we see it at the end.
Fragment 5: The second victim gave Stalker a coquettish look. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "You following me? Later, the forensic doctor said that this person is proficient in human body structure and has a strong right hand. So far, the landlady is still under suspicion. After all, if the knife is very sharp, it is not impossible for a woman to disguise herself as a man to kill.
Fragment 6: The landlady made breakfast, exactly the same breakfast she made for the landlady at the beginning of the film. She put on bright lipstick, dressed meticulously, and had a decent dress. She stayed at 9:30 a.m. with a smile on her face that could not hide her excitement. Obviously, she deeply loves her husband, especially the husband who has split personality into a tenant. After the "tenant" had eaten breakfast, he set fire to his clothes in the yard, apparently burning the evidence of the crime---blood-splattered clothes and pants. The landlady offered to say that you could wear them in the dryer. This "tenant" was of the size and size. Almost the same as the landlord's, which also implies that it is actually the landlord.
Fragment 7: The landlady inadvertently saw the "tenant"'s shirtless. At that time, the "tenant" was holding clothes to change. After the "tenant" found the landlady, the landlady returned to the bedroom shyly. After a while, her husband Out of breath, she ran upstairs, when the landlady turned her head. The paragraph was rather obscure, and it was the same person. The landlady obviously preferred the husband in the side room.
Fragment 8: The "tenant" rummaged for scissors in the house late at night, but woke up the sleeping landlady, and the landlady did not shout when she saw the "tenant" in the house, and seemed very calm. You can't break into a house at night. Besides, if a well-dressed stranger comes to his house to find scissors late at night, no matter how calm he is, he won't even ask what he does with the scissors. In fact, the landlady didn't ask anything. , just handed the scissors to the "tenant" silently. There is only one reasonable explanation, that is, the landlord's personality is split. When the landlady handed the scissors to the "tenant", that kind of eye contact is by no means an ordinary landlord and tenant. "Tenant" said: "Find a pair of scissors, I'm going to kill." The landlady handed him the scissors and said, "Go kill." Then "Tenant" went out, and the landlady lay on the bed with eyes wide open. . Immediately on the way, the landlord ran into two prostitutes who approached them. Obviously, the landlord looked disgusted when the prostitutes approached them, "piss off". A few seconds later, the prostitute was killed. The implication here is obvious. The landlord's other personality "tenant" was activated by the prostitute he hated. He took out his long coat from his bag, turned his head and shot a carbine. The stuttering witness described that two prostitutes were killed by one person. I want to see that it can be basically determined that the murderer was not the landlady. He subdued and killed and dragged the two women. This is manual work, and her security guard husband is the most suspect. .
Fragment 9: The landlady wears a red plaid short-sleeved top and a blue silk pleated skirt, and delivers breakfast to the "tenant". The "tenant" said that her boots were stained with mud, so she cleaned the boots, and then the two began to kiss, waiting for the landlord to leave When entering the partial room, the landlady came out with the landlord's boots. In fact, the landlord's wife was making out with the landlord, but the part of making out and the part of the landlord approaching the partial room did not happen on the same day. Or it was completely the imagination of the landlady, because at this time the landlady still had a mild delusional disorder.
Fragment 10: The landlady looked at the newspaper of the day and put the landlord's boots on "The Killer's next step", which matched perfectly, and immediately realized that her husband had really killed someone. That night, it was raining heavily, and the landlady said to the landlord, "I don't think Malcolm (the "tenant") is wrong." The landlord asked, "Who is Malcolm?" The landlady actually wanted to awaken the landlord's split personality. tenant. Hearing that the landlord was very annoyed, she shouted: "cut the crap! There's no one back there!" and dragged the landlady to the side room. In fact, the landlady knew that there was no Malcolm there, and was always her husband. Her husband pushed the door open. Strange that the privacy-conscious tenant didn't lock the door? Pointing to the empty side room and asking "Is anyone in there?" Asked twice, the landlady had no choice but to say that there is no one there. Hey, your landlord is that tenant. Now who are you looking for and where can you find it? In the heavy rain, the landlady only called her husband's name: "Joe".
Fragment 11: After the police went to the landlord's house to investigate, the landlord's wife began to frantically clean up the fingerprints of the partial room, murmuring, "No one can find out." In fact, there are no tenants, and all she wants to clean up is her husband's fingerprints. As a result, LAPD temporarily handcuffed Officer Chandler on the grounds that no one lived here. The "tenant" even came to the landlord's house. The landlord's wife cried and begged her husband's split personality "tenant" and said "no one would know". After saying that, she held the "tenant"'s hand with a smile and took the bag from the "tenant". Here is a close-up that shows that the bag in the hand of the "tenant" is obviously the landlord's bag.
Fragment 12: After slashing the police officer, the landlord fled back in a panic. The landlady was not very smart. She seriously injured the landlord at the last moment in order to get the crime. Not fixed for an ambulance), the landlady made everyone think she had a severe split personality, but ended up saying "Timmy died 7 years ago!" She was half right, her son was stillborn but It was eight years ago, and she said seven years ago. This is a bit interesting. In the first half of the film, Timmy appears from time to time, which proves that she does have a delusional disorder, but it is not as serious as the landlord. After the landlord got angry with the landlady because of the tenant, Timmy never appeared again, which means that the landlady has jumped out Confused and admitted the fact that his son had died. I guess the landlady was laughing when she heard the psychologist commenting on her delusional disorder. She deliberately said it was 7 years ago. In fact, the child died just eight years ago. The couple dared not admit this cruel fact. She started killing people, that is, the Rodriguez case 7 years ago, so she said that timmy died 7 years ago, which is a metaphor for starting the crime 7 years ago and laying the groundwork for her exoneration.
Looking back on the whole film, the landlord and the so-called "tenant" live in a strange and wonderful harmony. When the landlord is there, the "tenant" is not there; when the "tenant" is there, the landlord is not. The landlord works the night shift, but the "tenant" gets up late. The landlord has never met the "tenant" and the "tenant" has never met the landlord, which seems like a coincidence but implies that they are actually like each other, and the landlord is the "tenant". After seeing the house, the "tenant" told the landlady that he didn't want to be disturbed, and the landlady said, "My husband won't disturb you." Of course he wouldn't disturb himself! The first thing the tenant did after renting the house was to take down all the portraits of the women, saying that he felt uncomfortable with those women staring at him, of course! If you kill someone cruelly, you will never forget the look in that person's eyes. Even if it is a schizophrenic like the landlord, the subconscious still doesn't want to see the eyes of these women!
At the end of the film, the young police officer said to Chandler, "Do you think the murderer is not the landlady?" Chandler was silent. In fact, Jack the Ripper is an unsolved case, and the murderer has never been caught. The whole process is as follows: the murderer is the landlord, but the first two cases of the landlady did not participate, so there was only a stab wound, but the latter landlady followed the landlord as an accomplice, the landlord killed the prostitute, and the landlady cut off the uterus. The landlady is not ordinary smart, the first two cases were just ordinary knife wounds, the same as the Rodriguez case seven years ago, but then the landlady repaired the landlord's meme to imitate Jack the Ripper. nose turned. In the end, her husband was cleared of the crime, and she, as a mentally ill patient, is not responsible for any murder in a state of complete mental illness under American law. The so-called superb analysis of the psychologists fulfilled the new Jack the Ripper, and apparently the final tenant of the film means that the landlady was acquitted of mental illness, perfect!
Finally, I sighed: In fact, this tenant represents sin, the dark side of human beings. When the tenant appears, it means that Jack the Ripper will be dispatched, because the child was stillborn, causing trauma to the landlord and the couple, and the landlord has a slight imagination. Symptoms, imagine the landlord as a tenant, and the landlord directly has a split personality, and he plays the tenant without knowing anything.
