Hitchcock train geeks have two lines, two male lead, one is an excellent tennis player, and the other is a rich kid who wants to kill his father. The two met on the train, but a joke of alternate killings became a big deal. mistaken. The heart of the rich kid is sick, the oppression of patriarchy, and the ignorant mother caused him to be deformed. Here, Hitchcock’s inner portrayal of the character is shown through a picture of the character’s mother. The abstract characters and sudden music make the characters deformed. , The inner side full of hatred was expressed. At this time, the tennis player wanted to divorce his wife and marry someone else, so the rich family appeared to kill his cheating wife in exchange for the "promise" of the hero. When portraying the killing process, the woman turned her head frequently. In her opinion, it was courtship. In the audience's eyes, the rich family approaching step by step carried a ghastly air. The tennis player is the opposite of the rich family. He is simple, just, brave and responsible. It can be seen from his brave rescue of the children who are thrown out. This contrasts with the indifference of the rich family. He seems to want to use normal methods. Thinking to play against this abnormal person, the whole gambling is like a one-man show of wishful thinking by himself. Important props: a lighter with inscribed characters. The tennis player is like a male protagonist of thirty-nine steps, who wants to prove his innocence one by one, so this lighter that appears from beginning to end has become an important object. In this movie, Hitchcock The suspense and horror, the suspense lies in the confusing and confusing events, and the horror lies in the morbidity of people.

    Don't talk to strangers. The carousel scene at the end was awesome. But what impressed me more was the little boy on the merry-go-round, haha

    Everyone has someone they want to get rid of. Under such a setting, if I and the male protagonist are in a different place, I will definitely fall into a dead place where I can't prove my innocence: this is also the place where the script is powerful. Don't talk to strangers really is the most reasonable saying. The scene of the tennis court showed me the source of inspiration for "the end of the game"...
