Suspense Nirvana

Hitchcock is indeed worthy of being a master of suspense. Just take this "Psycho" as an example, you can see his unique suspense movie concept and shooting skills. In that famous bathroom murder scene, the seemingly fast-paced murder scene is actually very technical. In the setting of suspense, Hitchcock came up with an overlapping suspense setting method. First, the heroine in the movie absconded with public funds (suspense of being arrested), then the heroine died, and the private detective intervened in the investigation (whether the suspense could be investigated), and finally, the private detective also died, and the heroine's The sister and ex-boyfriend also intervened in the investigation of the case, and finally the suspense of whether they could know the truth was broken again at the end of the film - because the murderer (the mother of the hotel owner) that the audience took for granted was not the real murderer. Hitchcock made a joke, and it was a very beautiful joke. In the movie, the house next to the dark motel is really spooky, but what scares me the most is the swamp that buries and engulfs many people...

    I insisted on seeing the last minute with great reverence. In the end, I can only describe it as disappointment. Is this a classic of film history? Forgive me for not seeing it

    1. "Adventure" directed by Antonioni brought out the "non-plot" of modernist films, while Hitchcock challenged the traditional play rules from the other side and made powerful amendments to it. He does not deny the plot, on the contrary, he wants to strengthen the plot. In essence, he is still playing with suspense. He offends the traditional teasing audience to strengthen the suspense. The bathroom is murderous, so there is such a strong shock that this innovation in the structure is indispensable. 2. His tenacious willingness to attract people at any cost, to create excitement, then keep the excitement, and finally maintain the tense state of tension makes his films very special and difficult to imitate, because Hitchcock not only uses his influence And the dominant will is placed in the key moments of the story, but also in the film's statement scenes, transition scenes and all scenes that are usually difficult to use. In his films, two suspenses are never connected by an ordinary scene, because Hitchcock hates ordinary, and the master of suspense is also a master of abnormal scenes. 3. Create a kind of uneasiness, instability and insecurity through the characters, making the situation extremely dramatic.
