    Staged and one-shot are inherently compatible with each other, Hitchcock is just trying to return to the essence, taking another big step towards what he calls "suspense" through coherent performances, scenes and character emotions. While some of the splicing techniques may seem stale or even clumsy now, you can imagine how shocking they were at the time. The lines and the psychology are inside and outside each other, subtle and true. John Doyle is so...

    Crazy scheduling, that was the age of the cumbersome film film!...

  • Cathy 2022-03-27 09:01:04

    I heard that Hitchcock later destroyed the film of this film, I want to know why. Is it because he didn't have a chance to appear in the film?...

    Movie history ASL length classic! According to Bordwell's observation, it is not 10 minutes per shot, but rather less and more plus more than 2 points for the credit head shot, and the back and eyeliner are alternately used in the middle editing. The camera movement is very comfortable, and it's almost form-perfect except the back clip is actually too obvious! As expected of Xifa! To tell you he's also a long shot guy, not an editing...

    Xi Fat's first color (green chair and end credits vs. invading red and green neon; the whole film is plain and simple). There is no non-narrative music in the ontology, Philip plays the piano and Stewart puts on the metronome. The window opens at the end and city noise enters. A detective POV that recreates the crime scene. Mice of the rope and coffin. Window view: Visible passage of time. The single-lens mirror and the three-one deal with the ultimate experiment of "bombs under the dining...

    The legendary one shot to the end, but when Phillip panicked and shouted lie for the first time, the shot was cut to Rupert. It was understandable that those places were deliberately blocked. After all, the technology was not as mature as it is now, but the test of the actor's acting skills was same. James Stewart brought his aura as soon as he appeared~ It was still Xi Fat who was good at throwing McGuffin, and then made the audience anxious and nervous with the protagonists in the later...

    [A] Apart from some strange value debates now, Hitchcock is still able to explain the meaning of "movie" at this extreme under the framework of such a "stage play". The carefully arranged figures are so wonderful after the rhythm of the painting and the aftertaste, creating a more detailed beauty in the omission and blank space. And the classic shot of swinging the door and hiding the rope is even more so. The fragmentation of the internal space, the link of external information, and the...

    The ideal form of this story in my mind is to focus more on psychological games rather than simple reasoning. The answer to the mystery has been revealed at the beginning of the film, and the audience's "will it be discovered?" mentality has not been well utilized. Criminal psychology It would have been an interesting point, but Hitchcock didn't care about that. The technique is quite interesting, it requires a strong spatial scheduling ability, and the transition and switching realized by...

    The argument was very exciting. Also, a fat lady with a lot of joy said: "I don't like that girl, definitely scorpion!"...

  • General 2022-03-26 09:01:04

    34 minutes and 69 minutes of two had to make positive and negative editing, to clarify the nature of the film's diachronic (revealing) and synchronic (space, covering) nature. It can be called a great failure, or the form is extremely misused, but it is precisely because of such a spirit of research in form that Xi Fat can become the real king of film...

    Never lose my expectations.

    James Stewart is great, very like him.

    Before the movie began, I'd been guessing which part Alfred would focus on, the murdering part or the talking part, until the first scene instantly told the killing of David, I knew the point would lie in the latter.

    So this movie tells a story we normal person...

    After watching it, I didn't realize that the whole film was cut so many times.

    This script is not very convincing. The two people were hysterical and quarreling from beginning to end. Lu Qian, who changed the law, was afraid that Stewart would not know that they were murderers. This is what I complained about first.

    Before watching it, I knew that this was Hitchcock's...

Rope quotes

  • Phillip: Rupert only publishes books *he* likes... usually philosophy.

    Janet: Oh. Small print, big words, no sales.

    Brandon: Rupert's extremely radical. Do you know that he selects his books on the assumption that people not only can read but actually can think?

  • Rupert Cadell: Brandon's spoken of you.

    Janet: Did he do me justice?

    Rupert Cadell: Do you deserve justice?
