Privacy is the dignity of one's repentance

Multiple perspectives, multiple camera movements, scratching noises and "dialogues" come and go, all these trivial things are edited together in a precise and poetic way - this is probably the best movie opening I've ever seen one. Several times back to the eavesdropping scene and recording, "Zoom" has done it, but what Coppola completed here is a dialysis about monitoring and moral sense, listening and talking, and even the spiritual level. There are so many games that walk between reality and fantasy, such as breaking the door and entering the hotel room until the bright red blood pours out of the toilet, which is both suspenseful and convincing. All the character "dialogues", quarrels, confessions, seductions, flow in a slow blues rhythm. Saying that the characters are "crazy" is a bit too much, it should be just obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the "Kafka"-style madness at the end combined with the swinging overhead shot of the simulated "monitor" forced Harry, who was easily blowing the saxophone under the camera, into an impossible situation. Out of the passive predicament, he is obviously not relaxed and happy, but it is a realistic living state of the characters after being squeezed heavily, a visual rhetoric of both inside and outside.

NB's opening, first-class narrative editing and sound and picture coordination, suggesting a panic soundtrack, seemingly slow rhythm but set off a tense atmosphere, coupled with Hackman's superb performance, it is simply a perfect movie. The ending is again impressive!
