The second brush is just to take pictures of the handsome guy (and to record a few moments of Hope-style composition)

Speaking of suspenseful and thriller movies, it's hard not to think of Hitchcock.

In Hitchcock's film screen, we can clearly see the influence of American painter Edward Hope on the director's screen design.

E.g

Psycho (1960)
9.0
1960 / USA / Mystery Thriller Horror / Alfred Hitchcock / Anthony Perkins Vera Miles

Another example

rear window (1954)
8.7
1954 / USA / Mystery Thriller / Alfred Hitchcock / James Stewart Grace Kelly

All from a voyeuristic perspective, to explore the whole picture of urban life.

A similar viewing angle runs through most of Hope's urban-themed paintings.

For example OFFICE AT NIGHT (1940)

Another example is NEW YORK OFFICE (1962)

Another example is NIGHT WINDOWS (1928)

Are you saying it's a coincidence? The painter HOPPER is also called Edward, the same name as our Norton, hehe.

In the film, Norton uses a similar picture to lead the audience into the fragile and sensitive inner world of the protagonist for the first time. At this time, we are all voyeurs in front of the screen.

———————————— The following is the time to take pictures of handsome guys —————————

Stop hugging the cat, hug me
handsome man frowning
handsome man smoking
cute handsome guy
handsome guy peeping
handsome guy shy
handsome little hands
The handsome guy ignited not that, but my heart
handsome guy sleeping
Handsome guy is releasing his charm
goodbye handsome

This person is too cute. He participated in the whole process of writing, directing, and acting in the film. Even if the story is old-fashioned, the rhythm is very personal. Those who like it may like it very much, and those who don't like it may not be able to watch it.

However, the social contradictions described in the film cannot but be said to be related to each other.

Motherless Brooklyn quotes

  • Lionel Essrog: Fuckin' mess is right. The nun said my soul wasn't at peace with God and I should do penance. Frank said anyone teaching God's love while they hit you with a stick should be ignored on every subject.

  • Lionel Essrog: Here lies Frank Minna. Cool as can be. They'll carve that on his fuckin' tombstone.
