Hitchcock's most underrated work

"Pure film" is like Vertigo, expressionism is like Psycho. Hitchcock's most underrated work, deeply involved in Mom-ism, control, shared-guilt, guilty woman and other consistent themes, and Hitchcock's special attention to Franz Lloyd's psychoanalysis is the most serious attempt. Freud believed that a person's first five years determine the habits of later growth. The illogical construction on this is in line with the perfect basis of "pure cinema", and even leads to The "reality" of a deeper dream. The so-called "normal" life is actually the objective of "everyone is sick". Personally, in my opinion, Marnie is under Vertigo, Psycho, and the same level as Rear Window, The Birds. Male The main is too 007, which is the lack of this film.

“Marnie is pathologically frigid and a compulsive thief.”
“Whereas Psycho diagnosed a malignant psychological disease and The Birds applied the surgeon's knife, Marnie begins the healing process.”

“Why don't you love me, Momma? I've always wondered why you don't. You don't give me one part of the love you give Jessie.”
“A decent girl don't have need for no man ."
"I believe we've met before."
"I've trapped you and caught you and by God I'm going to keep you. I've really caught a wild thing this time!"
"I'll close the door if you don't mind. The light bothers me.” “How long? How long do we have to stay on this boat, this trip?” “If you don't want to go to bed, please get out.” “I’m sorry, Marnie.”
“Oh, Forio, if you want to bite someone, bite me!”
“You Freud, me Jane?”
“Are you still in the mood for killing?”
“There. There now. " "I hit him. I hit him with a stick."
"Mother, mother, I am ill..."
"You must have loved me, Momma -- you must have loved me." "You're the only thing I ever did love!"

    See also psychological analysis, forcing a hero to save beauty; a typical Hitchcock story when a man is attracted by a mysterious blonde; a classic example of "women are investigated, men are tested" mentioned by Steve Neale in Masculinity as spectacle , The male perspective takes women as the survey object, women = the source of anxiety, feminity = mystery. At that time, the blonde girl was really the same as today's internet celebrity face. Tibi is beautiful, but every time she sees her, she has all kinds of deja vu... Stealing the safe in the middle is good, and the inherent tension ratio in the large panoramic fixed-length lens is treated as parallel. Montage is much stronger. The ending is too sloppy, and the front can't be laid so long. 9047

    Psychological mystery, taming of the repressed and frenzied; textual, dramatical and visual gems to be appreciated; Expressionism: scarlet suffusions, back-projection and backdrops, artificial-looking thunderstorms

Marnie quotes

  • Mark Rutland: Before I was drafted into Rutland's Mrs Taylor, I had notions of being a zoologist. I still try to keep up with my field.

    Marnie Edgar: Zoos?

    Mark Rutland: Instinctual behavior.

    Marnie Edgar: Oh. Does zoology include people, Mr Rutland?

    Mark Rutland: Well, in a way. It includes all the animal ancestors from whom man derived his instincts.

    Marnie Edgar: A lady's instinct too?

    Mark Rutland: Well, that paper deals with the instincts of predators. What you might call the criminal class of the animal world. Lady animals figure very largely as predators.

  • Marnie Edgar: If you don't want to go to bed, please get out.

    Mark Rutland: But I do want to go to bed, Marnie. I very much want to go to bed.

    Marnie Edgar: No!
