Hitchcock said, entertainment should be pure, don't talk about useless

The value of Hitchcock's film lies in its pure entertainment attributes. From "North by Northwest", it can be seen that falling in love with the big star Cary Grant is the biggest attraction beyond the spy war drama. , the suspenseful atmosphere of this film is very weak, which can be seen from the end of the first act, the time point is about 35 minutes, Grant's unlucky reminder was mistaken for killing someone, and the next scene The CIA explained the reason internally, The audience already knew what he really wanted, and the rest was to see how Grant escaped.
But the one-hour scene in the second act tells that he met a blond stunner on the train, and the beautiful woman took the initiative to give her a hug. The two quickly entered the state of "friends with guns" that fell in love at first sight, and then fell in love.
This movie definitely appeals to female audiences because you can flirt with the big star Cary Grant on the screen, and there are several comedy memes that are flirting with this flirting element, including the scene where you turn to the bedside of a strange woman in a hotel, which is startling at first, If you find out it's a handsome guy, you can keep it. You can see what I'm talking about by substituting Cary Grant as Wu Xiubo. It's really a face-to-face world.
To use an inappropriate analogy, North by Northwest is a less fancy 007 movie.

As for the sexual metaphor of the train going into the hole, it is enough for Freudian psychoanalysts to analyze it for a long time, but if you look closely at the strong sexually suggestive lines of the two people on the train, as well as the lingering passages of hugging and kissing, they are so blatant and analyzed. A p, do you still need such an obscure expression that the train enters the hole? Why add this lens? Of course it's talking about sex, but it's not meant to be just about sex, in the same way that a fat guy (Hitchcock himself) misses the bus in the opening scene, because it's fun enough, just for fun.

Therefore, the questioning of the pursuit of the cornfield aircraft is also justified, too much pursuit of the scene and ignoring the rationality, of course, the original script is explained

As Hitchcock's fangirl, Truffaut is purely fascinated by this, but it does not mean that Hitchcock's films must be profound or humanistic thinking What.
