    Wunley's crime is not just lustful, but to a greater extent stemming from the oppressive environment of society. Under the strict censorship system, sexual impulses have been transformed into murderous passions. This ending is closer to Hollywood's self-comfort, or Wenley's dying dream, which shows Lang's desperation for morality - rejecting the beauty's approach is not out of self-discipline, but out of fear of "losing everything". Looking back at the close-up of the photo of the wife and...

    A lot of people think this ending is a failure. I really like this ending. In most noir films that end in tragedy, the ending is a little new. It's not tragic, but it's not too happy. I feel, especially the scene where the protagonist really sees a beautiful woman fleeing in a hurry in real life at the end is very happy, and the warning effect of that dream is fully...

    Prosecutors, doctors, professors, these middle-class old men with some money in their hands, smoke cigars, drink whiskey after get off work, and fantasize about female stars. Going to work tomorrow is the envy of other classes. Fritz Lang appears to have studied Freud's dream interpretation. There are both wish fulfillment (becoming a professor), metaphors of sex organs (the "pen" left in the "house") and subconscious distortions (the desire to kill turns into self-defense and a solution to the...

    Don't arbitrarily enter a strange woman's house at night. The process of throwing the body is full of loopholes and the ending is exquisite (I thought of doing this in 1944). The plot grabs people's hearts, and the more you go back, the more you want to see how it will end. After that... don't commit crimes, and life won't give you a chance to come back. 01:39:20, AVI, 698MB, SRT plug-in Chinese...

    "As soon as we notice that in dreams, and only in dreams, we encounter the reality of our desires, the whole focus shifts radically, our ordinary everyday reality, the reality of society (that is, where we are in in reality playing the role of an ordinary benevolent, noble person), which turned out to be nothing but an illusion. The establishment of such an illusion depends on a certain 'repression' and neglect of the reality of our desires. Therefore, such an illusion Social reality is a...

    The professor's suicide is also a good ending. Then, despite the accidental coincidence of the scapegoat being killed, he is still dominated by his own fear and despair, and he must punish himself to escape the pain... But at half past ten, he is awakened, It was found that this was a dream: a masquerade party for acquaintances, at which point everyone removed their disguise and returned to normal life. In the scene of staring at the beauty in the painting at the end, facing the living woman,...

    The second Fritz Lang. The protagonists, with a sense of guilt, cover up the murders that were not entirely their responsibility, and finally grow out of control. It's not a thriller, it's a psychodrama. The final ending was quite unexpected. When I woke up, I had to interpret the dream for the audience... Some of the plots were a little awkward, but in retrospect, if it was all a dream, it seemed quite natural. Not very immersed in this kind of guilt-driven crime that...

    Great ending, turning a traditional cheesy noir tale into a cautionary tale in one fell swoop. The woman in the window is the male protagonist's demon, the concrete product of the mid-life crisis, and the incarnation of the remaining desires in his heart. When he wakes up from a nightmare, the male protagonist realizes that he can't afford to indulge such...

    Director said

    This film was written by the German film master Fritz Lange in the 20th century and is an early work of film noir. As a German expressionist film director, Lange incorporated the German expressionist style into American Hollywood films: strong contrast between light and dark, unstable oblique...

    Double interpretation of desire

    While watching the movie, accompanied by the roar of thunderstorms outside the window, I stared nervously at Professor Wenli, who was driving on a rainy night on the screen: When passing the toll gate, I was annoyed by his sudden mistake, for fear that the toll collector would see the corpse in the...

The Woman in the Window quotes

  • [first lines]

    Richard Wanley: [lecturing] The Biblical injunction "Thou shalt not kill" is one that requires qualification in view of our broader knowledge of impulses behind homicide. The various legal categories such as first and second degree murder, the various degrees of homicide, manslaughter, are civilized recognitions of impulses of various degrees of culpability. The man who kills in self defense, for instance, must not be judged by the same standards applied to the man who kills for gain.
