Finally finished "Vertigo"

The most exciting part of watching Xi Fatty's film is to find that Xi Fatty is playing tricks in the film. The story is divided into two parts by the death of the heroine. I simply summarize it as the first half of the heroine has a problem with the spirit, and the second half of the hero has a problem with the spirit (don't blame me for being humorous). This kind of love-brained and perverted-boy storyline makes me half mad whenever I look at anyone. Of course, I didn’t say anything about the shooting method, especially the famous Hitchcock zoom was used in the staircase scene. The object did not change and the background changed. I went back and watched it several times just to learn this zoom lens, which aggravated the tension and dizziness of the film. dizziness. There's a lot of processing of the secondary frame in the car on the shot. The lighting and colors are also very classic, with the hazy light in the garden outside the church rendering a soft scene. The abstract symbols and discoloration of the male protagonist when he is dreaming also show the characteristics of the male protagonist's mental disorder. The classic films of Xi Fat still use more transitions with flashing black and fading in. Although it is a very mechanical and original transition method, it still does not affect the continuity and viewing sense of the film. Reflections on the pursuit of the field.

Vertigo quotes

  • Midge: [to Scottie] For a man who has nothing to do, you're certainly a busy little bee.

  • Midge: It's wonderful how they've got it all taped now, John. They've got music for dipsomaniacs, and music for melancholiacs, and music for nymphomaniacs. I wonder what would happen if somebody got their files mixed up?
