From the well-worded dialogue

North by Northwest, a poetic and somewhat confusing name. Hitchcock is well-known, but unfortunately not in our time, the first Hitchcock film, although more or less did not reflect the characteristics of his well-known ingenious suspense, but in this "North by Northwest". Character dialogue, picture texture, and storyline are all very clear and interlocking, and they are fascinating. After watching the film, the most worth mentioning is the ups and downs of the hero and heroine's flash love. The male protagonist is an advertising businessman, so he is very good at speaking skills. When he was mistakenly used as a scapegoat to meet Miss Kendall on the train, he calmly told a lie that he was chased by the police with seven tickets. When the two of them were talking in the restaurant, you and I were very happy in their words. Even after exposing his identity as a wanted criminal, the male protagonist still looked calm. Because when he asked why Kendall went to great lengths to protect himself, he was told that it was because of his charming face and "you talk so well, you can make words do anything for you, sell things people don't need. , let a woman who doesn't know you fall in love". Perhaps it was deliberately set by the director, coupled with the addition of the roles of the hero and heroine as the princess, which made people acquiesce to the behavior of trusting and even going to bed when they met for the first time. But after hearing that Hitchcock was famous for setting suspense, I was always worried about whether Miss Kendall would kill the male lead. However, as mentioned above, the film plays down the suspense and learns who she is in the next few minutes. Another time when the plane murder failed, the dialogue when Kendall was found in the hotel. At this time, the male protagonist has begun to suspect or affirm that Miss Kendall planned to kill himself, but he did not choose to directly pierce the truth and hysterical questioning. It was constant temptation, as Miss Kendall said of him at the time, "words can do anything for you". This well-worded dialogue is out of reach for a rough guy like me. People who are good at talking can get away with tit-for-tat. Defend your rights or interests without embarrassing each other. It is the choice of most smart people. While many are clamoring for a return to a state where they can talk as they please, even to family members or their closest friends. Speaking must also be thoughtful. People tend to take unscrupulous and open-mouthedness for candor. And even frankness belongs to those who really speak.
