The Train Freak (1951)
8.0
1951 / United States / Crime Thriller Film Noir / Alfred Hitchcock / Farley Granger and Robert Walker

When I first watched it, it was said that there was someone in it who had acted as Imperious, but I didn't find it myself, and I was a little surprised.

Bruno negotiated with Guy and killed each other who bothered him, but Guy refused. But Bruno did not give up. He killed Guy’s wife and threatened him to kill his father. However, after he killed Guy’s wife, Guy was investigated by the police as a suspect. He knew the real murderer, but he couldn't tell the truth.

Later, Bruno negotiated with Guy and asked him to kill his father in exchange, but Guy refused at this time, but he was threatened by him with profit. Finally, the detective noticed him and followed him until the end. In the amusement park, the series of things that happened to the merry-go-round made people laugh and laugh, and it seemed that Guy was innocent in the end.

This movie has a consistent style, and it's pretty good and interesting.

    The apparent motivation of the exchange of murder is the same, but the deep meaning is the opposite: Bruno wants to eliminate the paternal authority that tries to change in order to continue to invade the maternal doting, while Kaihen is to rebuild the mature sexual relationship and in the journey of shaping the paternal self and the past. The lustful mother gets rid of the relationship. So after the turmoil of the era when the merry-go-round was a metaphor (the so-called spiraling form of history), the more active paternal self won the final victory! 【9】

    7.3. The carousel is one of the classic scenes in the history of genre films, but the story is relatively weak in Hitchcock's films
