The stranger on the train is Hitchcock’s surpassing of his past works. The film shows the murder of interchange, that is, the absurd crime of exchanging identities and killing each other. At the same time, the film also implies a strong homosexual plot. In this film, Hitchcock reveals to us the dark side of human hearts. Everyone is eager to get rid of people who are not good for them, even their relatives. Although the tennis star in the film who is bound by social ethics rejected Bruro's proposal to exchange murder, he also tried to conceal the crime of the other party, and he eventually benefited from the death of his wife. This is Hitchcock's genius, he will let you smell irony after the seemingly complete ending.

    The classic exchange murder, the classic noir film. The two scenes of the funfair murder and the ending carousel are impressive. The last scene echoes from the beginning to the end. Don’t talk to strangers.
