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.
