      A suspense film that was ruined by the producers

      The whole thing is a bit nondescript. When you first fall in love, it looks like a love movie, and the length is not short. After I finally got married, I felt like a suspense movie, and someone died. When the suspense reached its climax, I looked at the progress bar and it was over in a few minutes. As a result, in the last two minutes, all the suspense turned into a misunderstanding. The mouth reconciled in an instant, and it turned into a romance film like this. For the audience who likes...

      Hitchcock's view of women

      The women in Hitchcock's films are beautiful, graceful and sexy, and at the same time weak and endearing. Yes, most of them are beautiful underdog figures. As long as she believes that a man still loves her, no matter how excessive and outrageous things he does, she will endure it and have nothing to do. This feature is true in the boudoir suspicion, and it is the same in Vertigo. This may have something to do with Hitchcock's attitude towards women and the lack of obvious awareness of women's...

      Lover or Murder

      The Chinese name "Deep Boudoir Suspicion Cloud" was preconceived as a series of suspenseful cases about the heroine. After reading it, combined with Rebecca, I clearly felt that Hitchcock's early works in the 1940s obviously did not form a personal feature. Some people said that Xi Fatt wanted to enter Hollywood, can not be too harsh on the works of the time. It's a very simple story, but the content line is very long. Every time I feel that the male lead is exposed, there will be a reason...

      [Film Review] Suspicion (1941) 7.6/10

      In the center of Hitchcock's pulsatingly moody drama SUSPICION, Joan Fontaine plays a straitlaced heiress Lina McLaidlaw, elopes with a natty ne'er-do-well playboy Johnnie Aysgarth (Grant), whom through a series of suspect occurrences, she suspects has an ulterior motive to murder her for insurance payback.

      The story is predicated on the usual pretext of a foolish girl ensorcelled by a...

      'Suspicion' film review

      The film tells the story of Lina, a wealthy daughter, and a prodigal son, Jonny, who loves gambling. Jonny is in debt, greedy for Lina's possible money, and has no intention of working. After the marriage, Lina discovered some suspicious behaviors of Joni many times. These behaviors and Joni's excuses for himself several times made the plot continue to reverse, so that Lina and the audience could not understand what the truth was.

      The film seems to say a lot, and it doesn't seem to say...

      In the end, what is the ending, is it all blind suspicion after tossing for a long time? But even if the male protagonist didn't want to kill the female protagonist, his character was still not very...

      1. I believe that the ending is not a reversal, but it is a bit boring whether it is a reversal or not (the reversal is very weak, and the film is not terrifying to me if it is not reversed), but the film ends here has a different feeling. 2. Another beauty with broad shoulders and high eyebrows, but Joan's image is a bit incomprehensible. 3. "Fake climax", similar to the amusement park assassination scene in "Train Strangers". 4. The painting on the wall has given so many close-ups, but I...

      Except for the omniscient perspective in the opening paragraph, the film basically proceeds from the heroine's personal perspective. In the process of connecting the front and back with other pictures, it also uses a close-up to show the psychological change process of the heroine's character. The brush is in the process of superimposing with the spelling scene. After that, the suspense of the movie was replaced by the prying under the preset facts. The fun of watching the movie became the fun...

      In fact, the low-profile Gaslight in the front can't be built at all because I think with my toes, I know that Cary Grant's idol burden can't play a...

    Evaluation action

    "Suspicion" is a rare work by Alfred Hitchcock that has no murder and no conspiracy. The so-called "suspicious cloud" is just imagined in a boudoir, or like Hitchcock's ridiculous description in the film, it is edited by a detective novel writer. from. Audiences who are accustomed to watching Hitchcock's works still find it difficult to accept such a "nothing" film. Perhaps it is psychological inertia, but the film's effort to create...
