Hitchcock, my suspense is actually in the service of love

The almost enclosed courtyard house in the 1950s, which was neatly displayed at the beginning, was put into a pocket at a glance. What you saw was what Fatty Xi told you until he untied the knot in the pocket.

When I was in school, I believed that Hitchcock's classic suspense film is that the intense crime itself and the passionate love go hand in hand. In the north by northwest, the encounter with the train completely turned the cloudy road of survival into a yin and yang warrior's journey. Today, it once again confirmed Xi Pang's powerful cross-type driving ability.

In the first 30 minutes, he explained the living beings of the "Siheyuan" to the audience. Because of his illness, Jeriff, who is in a wheelchair, does not use Weibo or WeChat. Lisa? Pretend? The story background of Jeriff tirelessly pursues the poor and sour. Jeriff insists that Lisa belongs to the upper class where cocktail parties are indispensable every day. Lisa is sure that she can bear hardships and stand hard work without eating McDonald's and follow Jeriff's ups and downs. Dismissed.

After the small talk, the main scene comes on stage, and I accidentally see the uncle of the insurance officer on the opposite side suspiciously. I seriously suspect that the uncle chopped up his seriously ill wife and shipped it away. The suspicion of the murder permeated the small sky in the courtyard, contact a private detective, and collect evidence with binoculars [smile]. The logic is closely intertwined, but the detective friend refused to search because of insufficient evidence. If at this time, Jeriff showed his might and used his own power to overcome difficulties and save danger and finally smash the truth, then this is not Hitchcock at all, and the life and death love of Fatty Xi should be played.

What the cripple Jeriff couldn't do, the cripple's girlfriend did it for him, and instantly put himself in dire straits. The cripple's thinking was meticulous, but he didn't think that the girl who loved him would make an assertion in order to collect evidence. In a head-on conflict with the murderer, the lame Ren was indifferent to fear that his eyeballs would burst. The panic at the last climax was the explosion of love and suspense lines intertwined and sparked. When the beautiful Lisa returned safely, all their doubts and scruples went to his grandmother's power. Mr. Meng, at this moment, it is the righteousness of life to hold her in your arms. Only after experiencing life and death can we help each other. Now it seems that the routine is unbearable, put it 60 years ago, the simple lines and the description of the eyes in a few strokes, but let it be. People are very warm. Some commented that the ending should be reversed, Zhou Gong Mengdie imagined, this reversal may be very enjoyable, but I hope Fatty doesn't want you to read it just for fun, his fleshy face may tell you indistinctly, I The suspense movie is actually for love, do you think that you don't understand romance and only fight and kill?

Close-up shots of neighbors other than the murderer are given multiple times in the film, and the zooming in feels like peeping. The topic of privacy emphasized by the detective in the later period felt a little bit conveyed. Jeriff observed the life of each neighbor, and even had an inherent impression of each neighbor. What he saw was actually the information displayed by the individual subjectively. . What is released is life, and what is hidden may be a fig leaf or a protective umbrella, which may cover the most real ugliness, and may also protect the most real beauty. The murderer is the "unfortunate" situation of being caught in the fig leaf.

The shooting technique, the last part of jeriff's stunt of escaping death, using the flash to repeatedly brighten the dog's eyes is also blinding the dog's eyes, just like the stealing of the silent exhibition hall in the red circle, it can only be seen from a distance and cannot be copied.

Every time Quentin makes a cameo role in his own movie, the inspiration seems to come from Fatty Xi [cover face]

Well, in the future, the originator of Alfred Hitchcock's love suspense film?

Ps Grace Kelly in the 50s, several sets of women's Chinese dresses in the 50s, why beauty thinks it is 2050 in 2018, I think I know why the retro style is enduring [hey ha]

    All sorts of Freudian psychoanalysis, cinematic and voyeuristic convergence judgments, gender relationship dismantling, and reflection all make sense, but the point is that Xifa has a good story to tell here. The layers are clear and the branch lines are rich. The male protagonist is like a physical director who controls what the audience watches. There are too many trivial neighbors, and the murder case even acts as a time caliper, separating the beginnings and turns of each story. The murder itself, from the foreshadowing of the initial quarrel to the subsequent steps of the salesman to cover up the truth, is all relaxed. In the end, when Frith almost convinces himself that this is fake, the audience has more or less self-doubt. Other than that, I especially like the lonely single woman part. Her loneliness is very real, and the ending of being healed by music is also very beautiful. The time wrestling between Frith and Carroll was also great. When I was young, I felt that Carol was pleasing Fries, and when I grew up, I felt the charm of evenly matched forces, including the last scene - Carol was "conquering" her lover, she falsified his judgment on her, but at the same time It also retains its own authenticity. It is very admirable.
