Character design is stupid and bad

I don't know if there is something wrong with my thinking, the comments are all about the complexity of duality and uncle. It's weird, I think the actor Uncle is obviously a bad guy. I smelled Stoke when I first watched it (Stoke first), but the sameness of uncle and niece in Stoke is very obvious. In this film, the uncle's performance and performance are very obvious He only pays attention to himself, and has no love for his niece, only the niece blindly worships her. It is precisely because my uncle did not show love that it was very unacceptable for me to confront my niece behind the scenes. I don't want to be misogynistic, but this kind of protagonist really made me very uncomfortable. Maybe my mind really can't understand her motives. She has the sensible and cleverness to take care of the emotions of a mother who values ​​her family and loved ones, the admiration and fanaticism of young girls for mature men, and the courage and intelligence to confront detectives. An undisguised killer tricked round and round? This man didn't show any love for her, even she knew she was going to kill her twice, why did she dare to get on the train? When I was told to sit down in a bar, I sat down, and when I met the police on the road, I didn’t ask for help but continued to be alone with my uncle. It was very difficult for me to accept it. No offense, but I really don't like idiots very much. What's more, she is not just stupid anymore, she is so smart when facing the detective, but she is like a fool when facing the uncle. No matter how stupid people are, they can't say a word when they already feel like they're going to be killed, right? Not being able to contact the detective is also a contrived design, but understandable to create tension. Even if the heroine is stupid, the hero behaves stupidly. He is open-mouthed and often exposes his cruelty, but no one doubts it. The father, who likes to discuss how to kill, doesn't follow his cruelty to discuss with him, which is obviously a topic that both of them are interested in. The male protagonist also begins to act stupid in the final stage, doing some stupid things that are impossible not to be discovered, and it turns out that no one really finds out? Hello, please, he didn't appear to be as calm and seamless as a superb killer from start to finish. The little girl didn't do much except say a few irrelevant sarcastic remarks, she originally expected her to promote something. A detective is like a fool. You follow him all the way to suspect that he is a suspect, but you leave when the other suspect is dead? Watching the first half, I feel that the screenwriter treats women as fools. After watching the whole film, I feel that the screenwriter takes the audience as a fool. How many people with no life experience would believe that this uncle is not a criminal? The last time I saw someone speaking so cynically was Lord Henry next to Dorian Gray.

I personally like Stoke very much. The brutal attributes of the niece and uncle in Stoke are very obvious, and the two are destined to be the same type of people. The appearance of the uncle is to awaken the nature of the niece and make her an excellent killer. Except for a few overly contrived ppt shots, everything else is remarkable.

But in this film, the two Charlie's, apart from being stupid and arrogant, don't see any identity. If they were longing for family, Charlie chose to keep silent in order to protect her mother, but the condition was that her uncle left. When her uncle said she would not leave, she didn't tell the truth right away. What are you waiting for, waiting for the next murder? And how much does male Charlie love family? Not at all. His performance in the whole film only cares about himself and only does evil to society. His concern with all the children is very indifferent. The bank where his brother-in-law works makes him embarrassed. Except for flattering in front of his sister and showing pictures of his parents, there is no other expression of longing for family. Even if he killed Charlie and got the chance to stay in the family, he was still detached and not integrated.

The film does a good job of creating tension, and it's worth learning how the shots are laid out and how the story is told. But I really can't accept the logic of character design, it's my problem.

    7.3 is said to be Hitchcock's most proud film. The acting is praiseworthy, which can reflect the fact that Lao Xi's films do not have a meaningless shot, dialogue, close-up, scenery and props, even light, shadow, smoke and fog.

    The rhythm of this film is slightly slower, the tone is soothing, and the stylized and typed elements are much lighter. Obviously, this one is not a representative Hitchcock work. There is an artistic basis for describing the relatively harmonious Charlie family in large paragraphs without hesitation. Uncle Charlie ignores family affection, doesn't trust anyone, thinks the world is evil and there is no beauty. The director just used the specific examples of Charlie's family to disprove Charlie's fallacy.
