Hitchcock Start watching Hitchcock movies today, only watched his "Aftermath" "Window", "Beauty's Plan", and "Lifeboat" are all movies that can say something. There are too many anecdotes about him, and movie fans and filmmakers who continue to influence to this day. . When Hitchcock used $2,000 to buy the copyright of "Stranger on a Train" from Patricia Highsmith, he said to her: "I should make your novel, and you should give me the money." District Kirk.
The film tries to introduce a kind of perfect murder through a simple concept - "swap murder". Two strangers meet by chance, both of whom are expected to kill objects, and then the two exchange objects to kill each other, because two strangers meet by chance. The murderers have no motive, so there is no way to investigate. The director said so, and we followed it, but I believe that the vast majority of the audience will know how these two strangers met, how to establish trust between each other, and how to ensure the smooth process of the whole process. At the same time only doubt. It's as if Bruno killed Guy's unfaithful wife so easily, which seems puzzling.
Hitchcock, who has "the most recognizable film style", still doesn't take the bloody scene seriously, but still spares no effort to create the atmosphere, from the close-up of the hurried feet at the beginning of the film to the unexpected encounter between the two. Encounter, and then to the uncertainty of the train's special direction on the track, every time it seems to be a little bit of opening for the "grand" criminal conspiracy, and in the murder scene, the dark hole The figure of Bruno in the room constantly closing in on Guy's wife Mila, and a scream heard by the cameras waiting outside the cave's entrance strained our nerves. Even in the most thrilling killing sequence, we can only see the exaggerated figure of Bruno, the devil-like figure, through Mira's fallen eyes.
Who screams for Hitchcock when more and more horror movies take over our sights? Who would trust a stranger on a train? But who can get rid of his shadow? This "old locomotive" of suspense movies and horror movies keeps making appearances in his younger movies, just like he always has to show his face in his own films. That's why watching Hitchcock's films today is less terrifying, because we've seen the essence of thrillers in the imitations of his descendants.
