      rambling

      How should I put it, according to my opinion, four stars are a bit too much, and three stars are too few~I want to give Sanbanmu some~emmm maybe my expectations for Hitchcock are too high and this is the first one I watched The Hitchcock ~ ( ̄▽ ̄~) so there is no hope of losing. The 30 minutes before and after this film is so good that people grit their teeth, but the middle 40 minutes is a bit procrastinated. I really lost my mind (//∇//) The actors, the male, the female, and the two are very...

      random

      Anyone can check other people's phone numbers from the public telephone booth. It's too private. What if a stranger makes harassing calls? What if bad guys use your phone number for bad things? If the end of a person's life means the end of the marriage, her husband can marry someone else? Because only in this way can the plot in the film make sense, and the old ends and the new can legally begin. Miriam was pregnant and went out on dates with other men, which was very unfeminine. Miriam looks...

      "The Ruined Generation"

      There is no doubt that this is another Hitchcock-style classic suspenseful romance. Based on these two points, there are too many film reviews that can overshadow my dull views. Therefore, let’s not talk about suspense or love, let’s go Talk about this "destroyed generation" with the rotten term.

      As early as the 1950s, Hitchcock used the lens to fully describe the so-called "destroyed generation", a vocabulary that was scattered in the United States at that time and...

      Don't talk to strangers. The carousel scene at the end was awesome. But what impressed me more was the little boy on the merry-go-round,...

      Hitchcock is really suitable for opening the brain hole of psychoanalysis: the male protagonist secretly kills his father by changing his wife, so as to achieve the purpose of changing his father, while the strange person is like himself, but he reveals this secret in his actions. Out, the tension lies in an unrepresentable id standing up to a superego who wants to use procedural justice in exchange for the father. In the end, the victory of the superego also showed the obscenity of the...

      0. The director's big butt is too bright. 1. The movie is closely related to the times. 2. It's like egg white. 3. The story is not so tight, but the heart will always carry him. 5. It's time to go home and get the whole set of discs...

    Movie quotes

    • Anne Morton: How did you get him to do it?

      Guy Haines: I... get him to do it?

      Anne Morton: Bruno Anthony. He killed Miriam, didn't he?

      [Guy stares at Anne, hesitating to answer]

      Anne Morton: Tell me the truth. Didn't he?

      Guy Haines: Yes. He's a maniac. I met him a few weeks ago on the train going to Metcalf. Over some small talk and drinks, he came up with some crazy scheme about exchanging murders. I'd do his murder; he'd do mine.

      Anne Morton: What do you mean "your murder" Guy?

      Guy Haines: Bruno read about me in the newspapers. He knew all about me and Miriam... and about you. He suggested that if he got rid of Miriam for me, I should kill his father.

      Anne Morton: But you must have known he was only talking nonsense.

      Guy Haines: But he wasn't! He really wasn't joking about swapping murders! Of course I didn't give it another thought. And now a lunatic wants me to kill his father.

      Anne Morton: It's too fantastic.

      Guy Haines: Yes, isn't it?

      Anne Morton: You mean, you've known about Miriam all this time?

      Guy Haines: Since the first night. He gave me her glasses and told me what he did.

      Anne Morton: Why didn't you call the police? Why didn't you turn Bruno in right away?

      Guy Haines: And have them say to me what you just said? "Mr. Haines, how did you get him to do it? Confess, Mr. Haines! How did you get Bruno Anthony to murder your wife?" Bruno would have told them that we planned it together.

    • Minister: [Last Lines] I beg your pardon, but aren't you Guy Haines?

      [Guy and Anne get up and walk away without saying a word to the man]

    • Det. Leslie Hennessey: [jumps into nearby car] Excuse me, madam. We need your help. We're chasing a man.

      Dowager: Really? How exciting.
