more entertaining

I've seen "North by Northwest", this is the most blockbuster Hirsch movie I've ever seen. It's no longer stuck in ordinary criminal cases, and has risen to the national level with politics, suspenseful and thrilling events with romantic luxury. In 1959, Hollywood movies were already very refined at the technical level, and the overhead shooting with a vast background really had the spirit of an epic blockbuster.
I personally think "North by Northwest" is more entertaining than the other films I've watched. Some very funny and intelligent dialogues take place between the male and female protagonists, and the audience also finds it pleasing to the eye. Pulling the hand of Eva Marie Saint on Mount Rushmore, it instantly transformed into pulling her to the upper bunk on the train. It felt very interesting, and it was also a very talented shot.
Cary Grant was already in his fifties at this time. James Stewart in Vertigo was too tall, thin, and a little chesty, while Grant was relatively tall and handsome. As for the heroine Eva, today's movie fans know that Hitchcock prefers blondes, and his movies have many famous blondes, Kim Novak, Grace Kelly, Tibby Hedren ... Eva Marie Saint is in it, her appearance is very inconspicuous, and her temperament is normal. Before, she and Marlon Brando co-starred in "The Pier" seems to have won the Oscar for best supporting actress. She was in "The Pier". ", the shape is very ugly, and it is not easy for the person in the black and white film to be beautiful. I think she is not good-looking mainly because her cheekbones are too high. I always feel that women with high cheekbones are harsh, neurotic, and lack tolerance...
Probably because of Lu Xun . The influence of Tofu Xishi in Mr. Hometown, haha...
