How could Hitchcock be so able to include so many charming and noble blond beauties into his own films.
So, watching Hitchcock movies, you are never boring.
A typical suspense movie usually starts by giving you a question and then goes to find the answer and the result. For example, the safe is stolen, and then go to investigate who stole the treasure in the safe. Unlike Hitchcock, he always gives you the answer and the result at the beginning. For example, at the beginning of the film, he tells you that it was the beautiful woman with slender legs who stole the money, and then slowly reveals the reason for the result. That's why the beauty goes to steal the money from the safe. This is the difference with Hitchcock. The first time you watch his films, the suspense is still there.
There are often several lines in Hitchcock's films, and various secrets are intertwined. Taking this film as an example, there are the following lines:
1: The heroine Marni is more complicated. The psychological secret is why she steals, what story does she have with her mother, what happened when she was a child, and her current behavior? What is the connection. Corresponding plots include Marney's fear of red, a strange conversation with his mother, and more. The real suspense is whether she will be arrested by the police, which corresponds to the strange man she and Mark met at the racecourse.
2: Actor Mark Rudland. He clearly knew that Marney was a money thief, but why didn't he arrest him, why did he help Marney several times and investigate Marney.
These clues and secrets are slowly unfolding, slowly spreading in your heart, and then unraveling step by step. Your heart has been hanging, hanging, until the last moment.
By the end, you'll know the story of Marney as a child, killing a man for protecting his mother, leading to her lying, neuroticism, frigidity, and the resulting kleptomania.
And the male protagonist Mark, you will know how much he loves Marney, and everything he does is to tame Marney and possess Marney. This Hitchcock mentioned in an interview with Truffaut that he likes to portray characters of love fetishism, and Mark is such a love fetish character who is madly in love with a female thief. The so-called love fetishism should be that some people irrationally fall in love with a special case of people. For example, there will be Caucasian men who specifically want to have sex with an Oriental or African woman.
In other respects, Hitchcock's films have a unique element of suspense, such as the art set, (here, Hitchcock worked as an art for a long time before becoming a director) The distant The sea and ships give off an eerie vibe. And the kids humming nursery rhymes at Marney's door were disturbing.
Hitchcock is also very good at using space to create suspense. Marnie stole a section of the Rudland company's vault. The panoramic picture is separated by a wall in the middle between the cleaning lady and Marnie who opens the safe. The audience knows everything, and their hearts The throat is mentioned, but the characters in the movie just don't know anything about it. Then Marnie took off her high heels, and the shoes fell to the ground - finding the female worker behind her ears, went downstairs, the Negro appeared, the Negro walked away, and reappeared. Step by step, the suspense is increased and then released, which works very well.
ps: Sean Connery was also very handsome when he was young~
