    Completely failed experiment. The Bazin-style long shot is to present the ambiguous "reality" in the continuity of time and space, but Xi Pang cuts off the inner connection between technique and aesthetic appeal, and uses it in a story that emphasizes arrangement, disguise and performance. . On the other hand, giving up editing is tantamount to cutting one’s own arm, which not only results in a waste of screen time (intentional delay in reaction shots), but also leads to extreme limitations in the ability to manipulate time, space and viewpoint, and create suspense gaps. The way Shiro was revealed was fully revealed.

    Without any editing, a long shot to the end, the whole film is in one room, creating suspense that there is no suspense at all. In fact, this is Hitchcock's least suspenseful one. But there is a little bit, the meaning is that no one is the so-called superior, and can deprive others of their lives at will

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.
