When you know there is a bomb hidden under the table

I remember the suspense film master Hitchcock once said: "The difference between suspense movies and ordinary movies is that in ordinary movies, the audience does not know that there is a bomb hidden under the table, and then the bomb will suddenly explode; while in suspense movies, The audience knows that there is a bomb hidden under the table, and watching the watch on the bomb is counting down, but never know whether the bomb will explode until the last moment. Only in this way will the audience's heart tremble with the situation of the characters in the movie "The
master’s thoughts have appeared in "Gannet Assassination Order" many times. Whether it is a killer hiding in a cupboard, a pistol hidden under his clothes, or a bomb hidden under the car, it is the same as the bomb under the table. , You will never know what the result will be until the last minute. If this kind of plot appears multiple times, smart viewers may guess the result, but they still have to worry about the fate of the characters in danger in the movie.

The Pelican Brief quotes

  • [last lines]

    Edwin Newman: Where is Darby Shaw?

    Gray Grantham: I think that's also a question for Darby Shaw, but I know that she's not available to answer questions as long as this "feed frenzy" continues.

    Edwin Newman: Does that mean that you don't know where she is?

    Gray Grantham: No I didn't say that.

    Edwin Newman: Then you do know...

    Gray Grantham: [laughs]

    Edwin Newman: I, I take it this cryptic smile means you'll not answer...

    Gray Grantham: [smirking uncontrollably]

    Edwin Newman: Okay Gray, you know that in view of all this, you know that there's a lot of speculation that this woman is a figment of your imagination. That you created her, from a lot of different sources. Just as there are people who believe there was no Deep Throat, there are those who believe that there is no Darby Shaw. In other words, she's just too good to be true.

    Gray Grantham: She almost is.

  • Smith Keen: Didn't they also say they knew of no connection with the assassination?

    Gray Grantham: Yes. But what else are they gonna say?
