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.

Hitchcock quotes

  • Peggy Robertson: MGM wants you to do the Ian Fleming book "Casino Royale" with Cary Grant. Definitely your style.

    Alfred Hitchcock: Doesn't she know I just made that movie? It was called "North by Northwest". And "style", my dear, is mere self-plagiarism.

  • [first lines]

    Henry Gein: It's lucky it didn't reach the house.

    Ed Gein: Yeah.

    Henry Gein: You know, there's gonna be a lot more jobs at that factory in Milwaukee come June. I could put in a word.

    Ed Gein: You can't leave us, Henry. She needs us both.

    Henry Gein: Can you stop being a mama's boy for one second? I'm not trying to hurt you, but Jesus, you gotta live your own life sometime. That woman can take care of her own god...

    [Ed hits Henry with a shovel]

    Alfred Hitchcock: Good evening. Well, brother has been killing brother since Cain and Abel, yet even I didn't see that coming. I was as blindsided as poor old Henry down there. And apparently, the authorities shared my naïveté. In other words, they believed the young man's story. That Henry fell, hit his head on a stone and died of smoke asphyxiation. On the other hand, if they hadn't believed him, Ed Gein would never have had the opportunity to commit those heinous crimes for which he became most famous. And we, of course, well

    Alfred Hitchcock: we wouldn't have our little movie, would we?
