    There was a serial murder case in the city. The murderer only attacked the blonde woman. The spatial distribution was in a triangle shape, and a revenger sign would be left beside the NPC. The police were dispatched, and everyone was in danger, including Daisy, a blond dancer. Daisy has a police boyfriend who lives with his parents and the attic of the house is for rent. One day, a mysterious man came to rent a house, and his behavior was suspected by Daisy's parents as a murderer, but Daisy...

    The form of presenting news is really colorful and impactful, and it is too monotonous in comparison. The tenant's appearance is fantastic, the shadow of the cross framed by the window is symmetrically reflected on his handsome face, and the actor plays it well. The soundtrack is great, especially Daisy's Song and Sister's Death. When the two of them were playing chess, Daisy's Song sang "Your blue eyes are as cold as ice and snow, and cut me like silver blades." The tenant and Daisy sat...

    Definitely can't give 4 stars. The age is too early, the picture quality is too poor, and only a white face can be seen in the middle shot. There are quite a few loopholes in the plot, what to do at the end, and the criminals' falconry at the end is also very perfunctory. However, the tenant went downstairs and only saw that the design of the hand sliding down the stairs is very...

    This is a suspense film that is obviously a romance film. It is too timeless to watch a silent film on the big screen. Many of the soundtracks in the restored version are added later, as well as popular...

    Revisit Hitchcock. The expressionism has not done enough, so there are too many suspenseful suspense, but the flaws are not concealed, and the ingenuity of some shots has a distinct Hispanic style. I can't help but complain, the soundtrack of the restored version is too...

    The first Hitchcock-style film in the true sense, many future techniques have been formed, and expressionism has been successfully learned. Love that see-through floor top...

    7 points. Very German expressionism flavor. Xi Fat finally began to be frightened. But until the end of the film, the murderer did not show his...

    Watching the original soundtrack. It is said that the new soundtrack is not good. Hitchcock himself ran inside for a few seconds behind the back. Originally, I wanted to make the lodger an open ending, without specifying whether it was a criminal or not, but the studio demanded Novello's absolute innocence, and Hitchcock compromised. . . Based on the novel of the same name, the original book is about the murder of Jack the...

    The Tenant - Suspicion Shouldn't Be the Only Criterion for Conviction

    In the 1955 British masterpiece "Dr. Thief", the criminal gang absolutely paid tribute to the originality of the film when it first appeared: it was all dark times, all strangers asking for rent, and the mysterious body appeared and the face was hidden. , The nervousness in the eyes is sharp and...

    hitchcock's expressionism

    I have always believed that hitchcock was heavily influenced by German expressionist films, and this film is a proof, (the tenant who appears in a thick fog, the cuckoo alarm clock that suddenly frightens the landlord when the tenant arrives, and follows the tenant The chandeliers with cramped...
