    There are recurring elements in several of De Palma's films (split screen/split focus/chasing/subway/internal perspective shifts in long shots, etc.), but it's always interesting to combine them in one place. Due to the dazzling technology, the film has become a game of shooting and viewing, which to a considerable extent conceals the shortcomings of the script and dialogue design. The film is "homomorphic" to Hitchcock because it grasps the The key to suspense is to not hesitate to reveal...

    The mirroring of the gallery and the elevator is really powerful. The audience of the former can experience the cramped lust and anxiety, while the latter has a stronger sense of substitution. The focus of the dialogue at the end was on the guests sitting next to each other at the two tables, which was somewhat confusing, and the nurse's part was a little redundant although it was a suspenseful setting. But those fiery erotic meanings that are not in Xi Pang are freely swayed here, especially...

    With a score of 7.9, the scale was absolutely earth-shattering in the United States in the 1980s. "The Shining" was even subject to complaints about bloodletting, not to mention that this film not only contains blood, but also has many erotic scenes. The director seems to be a disciple of Hitchcock? Although the imitation is good, it is too dependent on the framework of "Psycho". It's just an imitation after...

    This film tells us: 1. It's easy to get a woman who wants to stand by at any time. 2. Ons is risky. 3. Going to a stranger's house is more dangerous. 4. Don't seduce a psychiatrist because you don't know if he has a split personality. Having a weapon by your side at all times is also the most crucial point: don’t put your wedding ring anywhere! !...

    Excellent suspenseful work, the atmosphere is first-class, some scenes are relatively protracted, but it is also deliberately created tension, Michael Caine's final performance is really...

    De Palma's "Vertigo" completes a tribute to "Vertigo", and this "Razor's Edge" is a naked imitation of "Psycho", except for some of the techniques used by Xifa, Also let the relatively veteran Angie Dickinson die in the middle of the film, just like "Psycho". The bathroom scene at the beginning should be naked, otherwise Angie Dickinson can maintain such a figure and skin at 50 years old, too...

    The elements that convey information and convey new ideas are larger than the core of the text. But the first and last two parts of the movie are really wonderful, the last line inside the museum, the crisis of left and right when getting on the subway, and the bathroom horror at the end, these three parts are really well shot. So even if the mystery of who the murderer is is too easy to guess and the mystery will not stand the test of time, these three parts can keep the movie...

    Standing in front of the huge painting in the art gallery, the blonde immediately thought of Vertigo, my favorite. Then chased through various partitions in between, and the smoothness of the murder scene was maintained at the last moment of the film! The bright and dark lights of the subway car, the thunder and lightning on rainy nights, and the reflection of the last turn of the door bolt are as terrifying as the reflection of a razor. The erotic part is handled properly, and Sex becomes the...

    "Dressed to Kill": The best movie of "Master of Horror"

    Just as Alfred Hitchcock called it the "Master of Suspense", it is no exaggeration to call Brian de Palma the "Master of Horror". Brian de Palma may not have reached the height of Hitchcock’s artistic achievements, but everything he did, including imitation and fascination with Hitchcock, did not...

    Razor edge, seemingly not a good translation

    The music at the beginning, the bathroom, is very yellow and violent, the
    art gallery is teasing, there is no line for more than ten minutes, and it depends on editing and background music.
    The suspense is normal, but it allows you to see the end smoothly without procrastination.
    This psychiatrist...
