The best movies are always on the road, and every great production must go through an anxious trough.

I saw Wei's short comment and knew that the film was about the production process of "Scary", so I looked for it while it was hot. It is recommended to watch the original first, otherwise this biographical film will be spoiled without any suspense.

The cutting angle is unique, called "Hitchcock", which only focuses on the production of "The Cry" and the most important character in Lao Xi's life. His wife, Irma, is difficult for me to know without this movie. This very talented lady.

Choose these two sides to show Hitchcock's work and emotions, and see an imperfect film master. In life, he has a big belly, is slightly voyeuristic and full of jealousy, is greedy for corn candy, occasionally naughty, peeks at the audience's fierce reaction to his new film, dances happily; scares his movie heroine; deliberately compromises with the distributor In exchange for shooting freedom, etc.

I have a better understanding of the wall hole setting in "The Cry", the choice of actors and costumes, the classic bathroom editing shots, Norman's sugar-eating actions, the preservation of the details of the toilet, and the source of inspiration for the details of Norman's mother's back. It was the editing with Irma that saved this "bad movie", and talented women were highlighted.

In order to keep a heroine he loved for ten minutes, Hitchcock said, do you want to give up being a star like Grace Kelly in order to become a housewife? The heroine chose the former and regretted it privately. It is worth noting that Lao Xi's attitude towards women.

The best movies are always on the road, and every great production must go through an anxious trough.

    It's the aftermath of a long list of success-or-fail heroes. The first part is too pretentious, and the second part is too established. Talking about drama and comparing one's heart to one's own, how can one get involved in the cliché of such a box office game.

    Anthony Hopkins is a good fit for this sassy and arrogant chubby. There are bright spots in the details, but unfortunately there are no sentences.

Hitchcock quotes

  • [Hitchcock wakes Alma in the middle of the night and gets her to read a sentence from Robert Bloch's novel "Psycho"]

    Alma Reville: "It was the knife that, a moment later, cut off her scream... and her head." Charming. Doris Day should do it as a musical!

  • Rita Riggs: Is this really going to be your next picture?

    Alfred Hitchcock: Yes Madam! Oh by the way, try the finger sandwiches. They are real fingers.
