Before watching it, I knew that this was Hitchcock's experimental film composed of several long shots. I paid special attention to the language of the shots, but I still missed some editing points. Do not cut (fog).
There is a shot here, probably the second half of the maid is packing things in the kitchen, the camera is looking at the kitchen from behind the box, and the person talking at this time is outside the camera. Not sure what the point of this shot is, but there's a strange feeling of space extending from the screen.
Stewart's first-person aerial shot of imagining the murder scene is very amazing, especially when Brandon appears in the line of sight at the end, his heart is tense, and the slow rhythm of the previous empty shot almost stopped forming a strong transition. I had a similar experience watching the scene where the murderer came to the door at the end of the rear window (and the dinner table killing scene in the conspiracy sabotage), and the temporary silence created an extremely tense atmosphere.
Regarding Stewart's accusation, I enjoyed his lines very much, it was like watching a drama, but many people may not be interested in the motive of "killing is the privilege of the few" like me, then Stewart It's very correct nonsense to me. There's a hint of Nietzsche's theory of the superhuman here -- something Stewart's character would have held, but when the murderer justifies it, I feel utterly ridiculous. Considering that this film is based on a real case, it is also good that there is a certain sociological significance in it.
As for the final neon light, Vertigo also has a lot of similar red and green light settings. I'm not surprised to use it here, but it won't detract from it.
From the suspense setting, the typical under-the-table bomb mode works great, with a little bit less stuff on the case, and we're naturally nervous when someone tries to open it.
Here is a detail that I think is the best. When Stewart was about to leave for the first time, he took the hat by mistake. This hat has an abbreviated mark DK, which is the name of the victim David.
It's a pity that most of the plot of this film is promoted by the murderer's own timidity, and the party ahead is also lengthy. It can be said that things didn't start to get interesting until the table was cleared after the party, but it didn't take long for them to get into trouble. , all the tricks of the trick, let me worry about most of the film (I seem to be keeping secrets for them) to scold them for their psychological quality and hysteria.
In general, the technical value of this film is higher than its viewing value. It is conceivable that the scheduling here is very difficult, and the entire lens syntax must also be subverted. Considering its status and several brilliant clips, it is very difficult for me to It is still a rewarding viewing experience.
