The moving train and two pairs of unfamiliar feet created a wonderful and tense atmosphere, leading to one suspense after another. The beginning of the film has already caught my eye, because I usually observe people from the feet.
Hitchcock-esque photo editing is subtly blended with suspense, with a parallel montage of close-ups of feet, murders mirrored in mirror images, shadows, lighters and tennis matches, with a touch of horror and beauty. The crime in Hitchcock's films has transcended the category of crime movies, and his expression of murder is true art, without any heavy taste and bloody scenes, but can shock the audience.
This perfect film noir, with the criminal concept of "exchange murder", interprets the darkest side of human nature, and also shows that everyone is dark and evil. Everyone has people they want to get rid of, and these people are often the people closest to them. Most people just don't commit crimes because they're afraid of being caught, or of losing something they already own. Compared to Bruno, Guy, who seems to be more upright, is equally evil. He cheated on his wife and at the same time murdered his wife and concealed Bruno's crime. He also considered committing the crime, but he may just be to protect himself. The identity and fame and fortune were not implemented.
All have sinned, no one is good, and the result of sin is death.
