Unfortunately, something was happening at the time, and I was forced to stop abruptly when I saw this place. Watching again, it has been more than half a month apart. With many questions and expectations, return to the fascinating world of Hitchcock. Only this time, I came with joy and returned with disappointment.
Like "The Fright", "The Furious Thief" radiates Hitchcock's fascination with Freud. Marnie and Norman also have many similarities. Both can be regarded as actors—every time Marnie finds a new job, it is equivalent to playing a new role; Norman is a good actor, deceiving detectives and sheriffs, and even confuses himself . What’s more interesting is that their performances can be discussed in a psychopathic context—Marnie uses performances to cover up the violence he encountered in childhood, and the invasion of normal personality by Norman’s mother’s personality speaks for itself. .
However, compared with "Scary", whether it is from a narrative perspective or in terms of expressiveness, "The Beautiful Thief" is probably dwarfed. Friends who are familiar with Freud and other Greek style works can easily draw conclusions related to a certain childhood incident by thinking about Marnie's various performances. As for the fear of bright red, apart from using "blood" as an explanation, I can't think of any other possibilities. In this way, for friends who are obsessed with exploring the truth and pursuing unexpected solutions, I am afraid that there will be less fun. In addition, I don’t really like the passage from Marc and Mar’s marriage until the reunion with Strath. The rendering of emotions and the grasp of rhythm failed to show the highest level of Hitchcock.
Of course, "The Beautiful Thief" also gave me a lot of useful inspiration. I was surprised to find that the original simple theme music can achieve rich and varied effects only through its small and simple changes in tonal tone or loudness. And the scene that impressed me the most was naturally the "Stealing the Safe" for nearly 5 minutes. I think this scene can be compared with the classic scenes of "Bathroom Murder" in "The Cry" and "Carousel" in "The Train Strangers": once again it accurately tells us Hitchcock's superb suspense narrative Technique; Secondly, I have a profound experience from it. For film scoring, sometimes deciding where to use music is more important than what to use.
