It seems that the same batch of negatives was used as "Zoom". Mark's performance seems to have inspired Vertigo, but Helen is just as neurotic as Mark's. What is the full picture of the documentary that Mark wants to...

This topical film that caused Michael Powell to interrupt his directorial career (forced to leave the UK due to public opinion) was criticized when it was released, but today it is undoubtedly a masterpiece! Aside from being a psychological thriller, it's also a film full of metaphors—a movie, perhaps born out of the human desire to...

The camera in the film is given the meaning of a weapon, the only way he fights against his father's shadow, while the always-dressed image suggests his self-preservation. This film does not use the victim's perspective for the sake of suspense, but allows us to peep from behind the murderer. Murder and important scenes were taken by the director in a blank way, and the audience also had a greater desire to voyeurize. We are Mark, aren't we also distorted to some...

The film revolves around a serial killer who murders women while using a portable film camera to record their dying expressions of horror. The film's controversial subject matter and harsh criticism from critics had a serious negative impact on Powell's directorial career in the UK. However, it gained a following and was re-evaluated in the years that followed, and is widely regarded as a masterpiece of contemporary Slasher film. On the surface, the film is about the Freudian relationship...

In fact, it can be very good as a psychological analysis film to watch. People’s desire to spy is inherently different in degree. Most people are curious and spy within the scope of public order, good customs and moral consciousness, while addicted voyeurs with no boundaries are more of a mental disorder. The video that Mark's father made when he was a child is reminiscent of Watson's little Albert's fear experiment. M's father caused a fright by conditioned stimulus M, and the medium and...

9.0/10. ①The eccentric serial killer photographer male protagonist (his abnormality stemmed from his father who studied "children's fear" in his childhood as an experimental subject and used a camera to record the "results" of these experiments) after falling in love with the female protagonist Wandering and struggling between murders. ②Whether it is pointing the camera at other people or objects, watching movies, or the camera's perspective, it is all a visualization of the concept of "gaze"....

①The camera is not only a tool to record images for Mark, but also a weapon to kill ②Helen’s mother pointed directly to Mark’s inner world with her excellent hearing and intuition, which is the greatest protection a mother can give her daughter ③Self-destruction, self-release, children The psychological trauma of the period has a high probability of distorting a person's...

Movies are toilets that fail
I remember seeing in Bazin's book that when the audience is watching a movie, they dedicate themselves and let others, here, the movie they are watching, occupy the ego, and they enter a place separated and connected with the real world. In the illusory space of the film, there may be plots that...

Peep to death, peep to death!
Fear is both a chronic disease and a panacea. Home is both a paradise and a hell on earth. The film recounts the voyeuristic career of a timid and weird man. Even beautiful and pure love cannot save him, because his soul has long been engulfed and controlled by darkness. When he was a...

Clapper Boy: Suppose they catch you?
Mark Lewis: Oh they will. They look very efficient.
Clapper Boy: Don't you mind?
Mark Lewis: No.
Clapper Boy: Mark, are you crazy?
Mark Lewis: [laughs] Yes. Do you think they'll notice?
