    The first half is bland, but the second half is great, comedy, suspense, and climax all in the last thirty minutes. Take off the stockings for a period of stuffy stuffy stuffy,...

    8.2/10. ①Two lines are intertwined, one is suspense and the other is a romantic comedy: A female agent told her ambiguous male protagonist "The Thirty-Nine Steps" the existence of a foreign spy organization, and was assassinated by the organization, so the male protagonist had doubts Track down and expose the group with Fear; flirt with two women in the process, eventually falling in love with one of them (the latter being the real mainline, the former being more of a McGuffin). ② A montage of...

    The speculation about "Hitchcock's opposition to micro-expressions" comes from his personal admiration for the "Kulishov effect" - if your actor "micro" the effect himself, then what do you need for my counter shot? ? ... Hanna's "shot" scene can be seen as a mockery of micro-expressions. The audience learned in hindsight that the bullet that was shot in the chest was blocked by the Bible in the pocket of the coat. It is equivalent to saying that at the moment of life and death, the client has...

    After receiving the high-definition, I re-watched it again, but I still found a lot of problems. After all, the filming method of the film is too old. I won’t say that there were old-fashioned logic problems at the beginning. I had to endure the...

    It should belong to Mr. Xi's early works, which are somewhat imperfect. In the past, the soundtrack was really rarely used to add color to the film~~ By the way, why is it that every time I look for Mr. Xi with my eyes wide open, I have never seen it?...

    The series of quick scene changes during Hanna's escape from the police chase is quite comical, and the background music is also very dynamic, making the scene very lively, and the ending is quite unsuspenseful and the secret is a little bit...

    "Thirty-nine Steps" in "Director's Talk"

    When Hitchcock discussed why he wanted to shoot "39 Steps," it was out of respect for the original novel author John Buchan. In fact, Buchan did have a great influence on Hitchcock's creative concept. The popular novelist and politician born in Scotland has five novels with the character...

    classic

    On the surface, the stolen confidential information is the core of the entire film, and the protagonist's purpose of entering and chasing is therefore the result. However, Hitchcock did not radiate this theme to the entire movie. The focus of the audience's eyes is always the constant "chase" and...
