This should be the first time I've watched a movie after knowing it was Hitchcock's work. I've heard of a director who has a hobby and likes to make an appearance in his movie, and it's a very inconspicuous one. The lens is like a passerby.
This movie has been around for a long time, and when I opened it, the feeling of the 1960s gave me a certain distance, but after watching it, I felt that it was still an old movie, without too much fancy or too much energy. The so-called "attraction", the gorgeous appearance is pointless, this movie reminds me of "Twelve Angry Men", the same feeling, the same gripping, the same simplicity, in a simple area, just It can grab the audience's attention so much, but today's movies spend most of their energy on the environment. Today you need to shoot in Tokyo, tomorrow you go to Spain, and the day after tomorrow, you go to Toronto. It seems that only constantly changing scenes can Capturing the audience's attention, and our film writers and directors are constantly driven by this environment, constantly spending energy here. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it weakens the ability of the screenwriter and director, just like being in an air-conditioned room every day, how can you adapt to the severe cold and heat outside?
It was a bit like a soap opera at first, isn't it just a few windows? But the director can capture the hearts of the audience in these ordinary stories, even if it is monotonous, it is not tasteless. Rambli is a photojournalist who has worked hard for many years and has made great achievements. He is used to running around, but he has to spend 7 weeks in a wheelchair. The photojournalist who likes to observe has found a new interest, "peeping" The little stories that happened in the opposite houses, at this time, I remembered the poem by Bian Zhilin, the window is not only the dream of whose decoration.
The ballerina opposite is at home alone and is training very "hot"; next to it is a frustrated composer; there is a lonely young woman downstairs, a person's emotional world touched Rambly's heart, and "face to face" The hot girl on the opposite side didn't have a temperature increase"; and the artist; the salesman's family; the young couple who just moved in together; and the couple who slept on the balcony.
The lights of thousands of homes are just like the cheese towers or courtyards in China. Each family has its own story. What does other people's lives have to do with me from the outsider's point of view? Besides, can I understand their lives? Yes, it is said that every family has a sutra that is difficult to recite. If it is not difficult to recite this sutra, only the person concerned will have a personal experience. Maybe a trivial matter does not matter in our eyes, but what about other people?
But even so, Rambly has been enjoying himself, not being indifferent and ignoring by staying out of the way. Perhaps it is the identity and professional characteristics of Rambly's photojournalist that allow him to observe them deeply and understand the short period of their lives. long. So, Rambly has no interest in the hot ballerina who wears it every day, just because she lives for money, but Rambli is very concerned about the "half-old milf" downstairs, she is a lonely A woman, she has an unforgettable relationship, and now she is also very eager, at least her heart is full of enthusiasm and expectation.
And the salesman opposite a certain rainy midnight attracted Rambly because he carried a large suitcase three times in the middle of the night and went out in the rain, and his wife could not be seen after that, and there were knives, saws, ropes and other "criminals" tool", Rambly began to suspect the salesman, began to pay attention to him, he became more and more suspicious of the salesman dismembering his wife, even when his lover Lisa was about to make out with him, he was still thinking about the salesman behavior. Then he persuaded the fashionable Lisa, and Lisa also began to pay attention to this matter. Finally, they couldn't help but tell their detective friend Tom. Although Tom had doubts, he couldn't believe it. When Tom came back, he scolded Rambly, saying that someone saw the salesman go out to the train station with his wife, and there was a reply from the salesman's wife, but Rambli still didn't believe it, and then he saw Various so-called clues made him more convinced of Rambly's idea, and Lisa also confirmed Lisa's understanding after analyzing it for herself.
At this time, I wondered if Rambli himself was too boring and forced to hold back the wrong understanding. Tom investigated and told Rambly that many people had seen the salesman and his wife go to the train station together, and that the box that the salesman sent away was full of clothes, not what Rambly had guessed. It was the dead body, and what made Rambly and Lisa even more discouraged was a call from the police station confirming that the box had been taken by the salesman's wife.
Lisa began to reflect on herself, "Are we being too cold-blooded? Are we not happy if his wife doesn't die?" Rambly almost gave up. At this time, the two sides began to prepare for their own two-person world. Suddenly a scream, three Lou's dog was strangled to death, and everyone in the community came out to see what was going on, including Lambley and Lisa. Then Lambley said, "I almost believed that person." A person smoking silently in a dark room must have been strangled by a salesman.
The next day, I compared the previous photos and found that the flowers on the ground had changed. It seemed that someone had put something under it, and the puppy also seemed to smell it. Everything seemed to be logical.
Lisa ran into the salesman's house at risk at night, but the salesman returned, Lisa was caught, and Rambly was exposed at this time. I didn't expect that the salesman really came to settle accounts, It's understandable, you're spying on people after all, but that salesman is still a murderer after all.
When I saw the middle, I felt that this is Hitchcock's suspense drama. The suspense is so clever, simple scenes, and a few dialogues of several actors will hold everyone's heart.
Beginning with doubts from Rambli, and over and over again, in the end, Rambli wins.
