It is almost the most neat part of Xizhi Pavilion, and its segment structure is even better than "Psycho". The first half is a complete comedy, and the second half is a complete thriller. The dividing point is the sudden coughing of Beach in the middle, and the cup is broken. All the horror is caused by the previous paragraph, Johnny threw out the classic line "the best way to murder is to degrade oneself" very early, and Beach did die bad for him brandy. Like reaching out to straighten her hair and unbuttoning her buttons to be mistaken for killing her or kissing her, speaking to a portrait, all the lighthearted trivialities in the first half of the comedy turn into horrific repetitions in the second half place.
The composition or lighting has been changed, more of Johnny's unrecognizable back is revealed on the screen, and there are more camera movements, such as following when walking on the stairs, and pulling away from the empty bed when waking up in the morning. There are more gazes on things and landscapes, photographs of estate plans and landscapes of cliffs and rocks, scrabble words of murder, abstract paintings on walls, sliced roast chickens, images give a sense of transcendence. test.
The judgment "Johnny is a child" was made by Lina early on, but why couldn't she be firm in her judgment. Many unexpected, and in a bad direction. The audience has the same amount of information as her, and she can guide the audience to think. Fare evasion, no-shows, non-reply letters, borrowing, gambling, collateral collections, horse racing, misappropriation of accounts, firings, uninterrupted lies, credit card abuse issues and playboy reputation. Plus, the detective book with insurance, poison and the exact same modus operandi is too coincidental.
It is also because of this that it is not as good as "Psycho". If the latter respected the audience so much, they would not have deliberately designed so many far-fetched coincidences. The final O'Henry style is only expressed in words and seems to come suddenly and without reason. plus. What slightly reduces the sense of abruptness is that the film takes a breath at the end. It does not end when a consensus is reached in the communication, but when the car leaves. Because it is a fading back, everything that was originally clear is blurred again. There was a sigh of relief on the cold window, and the audience had no idea if this was another lie from him.
