Devlin really owes

Another story about the goddess being fascinated by yuppies. Without the slow progress of the Missing Lady, the uncertain narrative of Butterfly Dream, the love foreshadowing is bland and inexplicable; at the same time, Hitchcock did not play suspense this time, and clearly laid out the background information, and the first 30 minutes were solid. bored. But behind the dual relationship between love and police lines - love is not only an obstacle to the exchange of information, but also a prop to divert the other party's sight; on the contrary, whether the espionage plan is successful (or whether Huberman is safe) is linked to the loyalty of love on the one hand. , on the one hand, requires them to devote themselves fully to a "not love" performance. In addition to the relationship between the two, Sebastian and Huberman's parents are worth noting. The former's mother is in charge of everything and is majestic; the latter's father committed suicide by taking poison and collapsed... Behind them are two people in the regime. This direction; and Huberman fell in love with Devlin - ruthless, but also a spokesman for patriotism. He is the embodiment of the new patriarchy, the projection of Huberman's Electra. That is, Huberman can't wait to invest in a new one after getting rid of the old patriarchal control. In contrast, Sebastian, who seems to be powerful, is only a puppet in front of the mother who is also the representative of the patriarchy and the Nazi recovery team. While talking about patriotism, while emphasizing one's own spirit, in the end, it is only the background board of love, and love is the only thing this woman can lead. I don't like the way a single scene cuts through before it's over, but Hitchcock uses it to the end, Sebastian's fate is closed, and the irony of the abrupt end is just right.
