    Due to the physical limitations of long shots, 8 knives in 80 minutes can only be done in a single-scene secret room space. Deformed things like the Russian Ark that are designed to pretend to be weird and affect the essence of the film are not art at all. Hitchcock, this fat old London man can really...

    The small space and "one shot" make this film so CULT and wonderful, the tense psychological battle from beginning to end, but the character of Joubert is a bit disgusting, and the theory is untenable, Bai let Bolanton fall in love with it , Bolanton performed for a long time, but the central idea was untenable again. Poor. Secretly feel that Bolanton and Philip have homosexual tendencies. ....

    A murder deliberately disguised as philosophy. Every shot in the film interprets a philosophical...

    Very powerful creativity. The whole is almost a stage play, but it is very tolerant. The performance is a bit unremarkable, but the application of long shots in the whole play is very...

    7.6 points. Long, long takes are a huge test for both the camera and the actors. But the director's pursuit of "stage" makes the film less exciting. The language of film shots is quite helpful to the narrative. For example, a set of shots when James Stewart guessed how the murderer killed is very classic! However, this is a movie from 65 years ago after all. A sense of reverence arises...

    The film is very boring, I thought Hitchcock would not make boring films, but this film is said to be his experimental film. See, it really is an adaptation of a gay crime case in the 1940s. But the actor is...

    In the Xi fat films, it is not the most outstanding, the IQ is higher, and the atmosphere is more pressing. In addition, the long shot must have been edited, not one shot to the...

    Awesome! I think the length of the film is still a little short! Not addicting! The long lens is used to the extreme! But how do you know that these two are...

    If it weren't for the limitation of the times, Xifa would definitely have a real one-shot to the end, but even if the experimental nature of the film itself is aside, the extraordinary scheduling skills alone are enough to be...

    It tells the story of a nerd who thinks he is a high man to punish others on behalf of the moon. Murder is not exactly a crime, it can be the special power of the high man to destroy the low man. This is true. But the SB in the film ignores an important Logic, the key lies in how to decide who is higher and who is lower. No one can decide. So murder is still a...

    The legendary mirror in the end. . .

    I was thinking, what about the film? What if the performance goes wrong?
    The director didn't complete one shot. There are 10 breakpoints in the whole film:
    [2:30] 12:05 [19:55] 27:15 [34:25] 44:20 [51:50] 59:45 [1:09:50] 1:14:30
    Among them, the [] is the real cut shot, and the one without [] is to...

    Rope - film class paper discussing the use of double terror

    Double Terror and Suspense in Rope

           Rope, directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1948, is an experimental piece with only eleven shots from beginning to end. It has the nature of theater that every scene happens in the same room to compact dramatic sentiment, in an enclosed space as film proceeds....

Rope quotes

  • Brandon: What are you doing?

    Rupert Cadell: It's not what I'm going to do, Brandon. It's what society is going to do. I don't know what that will be, but I can guess, and I can help. You're going to die, Brandon. Both of you. You are going to die.

    [opens a window and fires three shots]

  • Brandon: But why should I want to come back?

    Phillip: Yes, why?

    Brandon: For the pleasure of our company, or another drink?

    Rupert Cadell: That's a very good idea. May I have one for the road?
