childhood memories

The family is in the countryside, and like most of the countryside, they are not rich.
Ever since I remembered things, there have been TV sets in our place. Those kind of very ordinary small black and white TV sets are usually only found in a wide range. People who own TV sets are usually on the construction site. Toutou (Foreign Contractor). According to adults, watching TV at that time was like watching a movie, and crowds of people went to watch the wonders. Of course, it was only during the slack season of the festival.
Some advanced households in the long village also watched TV. At night, people in a small village are surrounded by a small TV in a dam. Such a scene is full of joy in life.
I forgot how many neighbors I've been to and watched TV, so I bought one at home, and it felt so beautiful. Because it is located in the hills, it can only watch 1-2 stations by means of an ordinary antenna (a receiver is sent to the air by a bamboo pole) (the second station can only be realized by rotating the direction of the receiver). Since I can only watch one channel, I basically don’t miss any programs (except for commercials if I can watch them), and I know what programs are broadcast at what time. I remember that the Sichuan TV station at that time would play movies, but there were only a few of them. Most of them were movies like "Railway Guerrilla". "Butterfly Dream" was one of the more special ones. I watched about 2-3 movies. At times (mainly during elementary school), I was deeply impressed by the eerie feel of the film.
At that time, I didn't know what the movie was called. I remember that at the beginning of the movie, a woman was reminiscing, dictating that she seemed to have a dream, dreaming that she returned to the manor, and it seemed that everything came to her eyes again, accompanied by The oral camera moved slowly, along the road in the woods, and came to the gate of a gloomy manor. The iron door opened automatically (if I remember it correctly, I didn't look carefully at the time), maybe it was here that my fear of the dark was buried, Of course, the hideous housekeeper also played a big role in this. She always appears suddenly, and every time your heart is shocked by her face with the heroine, even at the end of the film, in her When she was burned to death, she didn't forget to come out scary (I remember a struggling black shadow dancing in the window).
Years later I learned that this was a Hitchcock movie, a master of horror.

Rebecca quotes

  • Mrs. Danvers: [brings out a negligee from under the bedcovers] Did you ever see anything so delicate?

    [motions the second Mrs. de Winter over]

    Mrs. Danvers: Look, you can see my hand through it!

  • Mrs. Danvers: [just as the second Mrs. de Winter reaches for the door] You wouldn't think she'd been gone so long, would you? Sometimes, when I walk along the corridor, I fancy I hear her just behind me. That quick light step, I couldn't mistake it anywhere. It's not only in this room, it's in all the rooms in the house. I can almost hear it now.

    [turns to the petrified second Mrs. de Winter]

    Mrs. Danvers: Do you think the dead come back and watch the living?

    The Second Mrs. de Winter: [sobbing] N-no, I don't believe it.

    Mrs. Danvers: Sometimes, I wonder if she doesn't come back here to Manderley, to watch you and Mr. de Winter together. You look tired. Why don't you stay here a while and rest, and listen to the sea? It's so soothing. Listen to it.

    [turning away towards the window as the second Mrs. de Winter slips out the door]

    Mrs. Danvers: Listen. Listen to the sea.
