*prohibition of montages*

Made us feel frustrated, claustrophobic. It is as if we are in a psychotic world without any symbols intervening.

Demonstrated psychotic "action": jumping straight from language to "behavior", implementing the professor's pseudo-Nietzschean theory.

The dimension of rendu exists in the form of the film: the message of the film is the form itself.

*guilt shift*

By committing murder, the murderer realizes the repressed desire of the third party. The murderer expects a return from a third party as compensation for the murder.

*recipient of murderous act*

The subject is usually not prepared to recognize the true meaning of his actions in the confusion caused by his actions.

    The legendary one shot to the end, but when Phillip panicked and shouted lie for the first time, the shot was cut to Rupert. It was understandable that those places were deliberately blocked. After all, the technology was not as mature as it is now, but the test of the actor's acting skills was same. James Stewart brought his aura as soon as he appeared~ It was still Xi Fat who was good at throwing McGuffin, and then made the audience anxious and nervous with the protagonists in the later time.

Rope quotes

  • Brandon: Now look, I'm not going to get caught because of you or anyone else. Nobody is going to get in my way now.

  • Brandon: What are you doing?

    Rupert Cadell: It's not what I'm going to do, Brandon. It's what society is going to do. I don't know what that will be, but I can guess, and I can help. You're going to die, Brandon. Both of you. You are going to die.
