Some Hindsights from Sixty Years Later

It's a pity that I am a latecomer. I have seen a lot of creations about split personality. Almost when I saw the specimen of the bird, I guessed that the old woman was dead and the window was just her specimen. I even suspected the love of the hotel man for the heroine. The meaning is not the kind of men and women, but the desire for potential works (thinking that she will be made into a specimen, and there are even several girl specimens hidden in the seclusion place, like the story of Bluebeard), and From the changes in his speech and behavior, he also guessed that his mother lived in him. As for the heroine, from the stage of buying a car, it has already been shown that she is not the protagonist of a crime with high IQ, but a crime of passion, and finally, an accident cannot be escaped. Therefore, if I were the audience back then, I might be shocked by the epoch-making creativity, but it is difficult to have such an experience now. In addition, I have to say that the subtle changes in the actor's identity are indeed very powerful, and this is also true in Vertigo. When the plot changes, the actor also seems to have changed a person. But the fight scene will feel a bit perfunctory from the current point of view, almost just gestures and does not resist much before falling. Another point is that the heroine worked so hard at the beginning to show her love and was eager to get married, but then she took the risk in order to marry her boyfriend, but in the end, her sister persuaded her boyfriend to register her marriage with one sentence in order to investigate her death. Absurd and embarrassing. The heroine's boyfriend made me suspect at first that he was a big scumbag, but at the end it proved that he wasn't that bad. It is very doubtful that the local sheriff who appeared later was intentionally covering up the murderer. When she was sunk into a swamp, the only people who could really save her were those who loved her the most.

    Lila Crane: I can handle a sick old woman!

  • Highway Patrol officer: Uh... hold it there. In quite a hurry.

    Marion Crane: [nervously] Yes. Uh... I didn't intend to sleep so long. I almost had an accident last night, from sleepiness. So I decided to pull over.

    Highway Patrol officer: Is anything wrong?

    Marion Crane: Of course not. Am I acting as if there's something wrong?

    Highway Patrol officer: Frankly, yes.

    Marion Crane: Please... I'd like to go.

    Highway Patrol officer: Well, is there?
