Still a DePalma Cinephile, Reivew on Body Double

A discerning person can see the tribute to Hitchcock's "Rear Window" and "Psycho": binoculars, electric drills, claustrophobia, and well-planned murders are all distinct marks in Hitchcock's classic works. With the help of these familiar symbols, De Palma constantly "flattered and imitated" to the master, and gradually practiced his own style. I am afraid that there is only De Palma in the entire film industry. This grotesque sense of suspense has been brilliantly explained in "Razor's Edge" as early as "Razor's Edge", and the museum tracking scene continues in this mall tracking. The complex and compact scene scheduling, the sense of space and the tension created by the expressions and actions of the characters are still top-notch.

In addition, the two echoing scenes at the beginning and end of the film further demonstrate the director's fascination with B-movies and pornography. This has also been fully exposed in "The Fierce Line". This film is even more afraid of controversy to find a real adult film actress to audition. Although it was later rejected by the film company's executives, the director still retained a scene in the film of a pornographic film, which is also considered to be a marginal group. some kind of support.

However, compared with "Razor's Edge" and "The Fierce Line", this "Pink Killing Eve" is indeed inferior in terms of script. Perhaps it is too indulged in the director's self-interest, resulting in the suspense setting is not advanced enough, it is easy to watch The foreshadowing in the script is too easy to guess the real murderer behind the scenes, which makes the ending part of the reveal unsatisfactory. This is also the most boring climax of the three works.
