Hitchcock's suspense films are really good! ! ! Whether it is light and shadow, lens, color, music, and sound, they are used to the extreme to create a suspenseful atmosphere. Stick to the title of the movie, and watch life from one window to the other, and see the living conditions of different lives. There are various occupations and identities such as ballet dancer, pianist, salesperson, newlyweds, etc. A large number of shots are shot through the male protagonist's first point of view to shoot what happens in each window. Originally, the male protagonist thought that he and the female protagonist were not suitable, but after they jointly investigated the murder case of the salesman, he understood that he and the female protagonist had the same thinking and had a tacit understanding. Through the description of the male protagonist, it shows the exquisite life of the female protagonist, which is in contrast and contrast with the female protagonist in the second half of the movie who only carried a small suitcase to go out, showing the change of the female protagonist. The whole movie is very logical, and most of the clues are provided by the dialogue between the male and female protagonists to promote the plot. Through the conversion of the perspective of the film reader and the perspective of reality, this shooting method makes people feel very novel, and I am very excited to see this expression. For example, the flowers are a little shorter, saying that the wife goes on a long trip but does not wear a wedding ring and other clues connect the whole movie, layer by layer. The police officer's inaction at the beginning was also very anxious and annoyed, which conveyed a good impatience to the audience, but even more attracted the audience's attention and curiosity. At the end of the story, when the salesman opens the door of the male protagonist, the suspenseful and thrilling effects are full, the close-up shots are interlaced with light and shadow, and the black and white tones are perfect to make the bad guys and the darkness blend together, and the good guys are bright in the depths. It was also exciting when the female protagonist sneaked into the salesman's room. The police arrived to achieve a last-minute rescue and meet the audience's expectations, including the final rescue of the male protagonist. The male protagonist uses the flash to make the salesperson invisible for a short time, which is very bright and novel. The finale also showcases a last-minute rescue, a perfect ending.
