      It's never love itself that disappoints


      One day, you think for no reason of a person
      who once made you have expectations for tomorrow,
      but she did not
      appear in your tomorrow at all
      ...
      "The Heartbroken Flower" tells a very interesting story
      . The beautiful woman who murdered her husband served as a defense attorney
      and was charmed by the beauty of the woman
      ...
      The male protagonist is my idol...

      A script that is perfect with a little improvement

      I don't think I can understand it, the script is a little weak. In particular, the reason why lawyers fall in love with their clients is simply inexplicable. Too, too, too far-fetched. This is worth reconsidering.
      The case itself is really good. The real culprit has been unraveling the mystery. Due to the extremely complicated psychology of the key characters, I feel that even the final confession of the prisoner is suspicious. (Did you really kill? You are not taking the blame for others,...

      Hitchcock never talked about love in a sugar bowl

      It's very exciting, beautiful, and I don't understand the psychology of this boring and rotten film. Seeing the lady finally shed tears and said: Now that Andrew is dead. Heartache. This performance was so contagious that the wife had tears on her face without knowing it, and she was completely restrained and stunned. A woman who did something distressing for "love", and another man who refused wrong love for his insistence on honor, everyone else became a supporting role. No matter how...

      Psychologist---Hitchcock

      Alfred Hitchcock's fascination with psychoanalysis is almost at its peak in this film. He conducted a psychological analysis of almost every character that appeared. Elegance and charm, Alida Valli, who hides the secret of adultery with her servant Louis Jourdan, is first attracted by the accused, and then falls in love with the accused Gregory Peck. Ann Todd, who loves her husband Gregory Peck deeply and regards her husband as her everything, almost lost herself for this. Attorney Charles...

      The cheating man got lost and returned to his family after being severely beaten

      In order to install x, I bought a full set of Hitchcock at home. I have been free to watch this heartbroken flower in the past two days. I really don't understand.

      I really like the opening scene of the movie. The lady plays the piano in the empty living room, and the huge portrait is hung on the wall. Then came two police brothers, and the lady followed gracefully. The handsome lawyer at the back is very reluctant in many situations, and the connection feels stiff. Alas, I'm a movie...

      After going around for a long time, it turned out to be about the relationship between the truth and legal sanctions. The theme is not bad, but the process is too...

      Too verbose. There are not too many doubts and puzzles, it is all character foreshadowing and court cross-examination. The following excerpts - "The lady loves Adem, who is loyal and respectful to her husband. After being seduced by her, she is very regretful. She hates her and also feels guilty for her weak will. She believes that betraying her husband is an unforgivable crime; The solicitation and interrogation of the lawyer Tony, who played the role, had to make these situations public in...

      This movie seems so out of place in the work of Xi Fatt's almost heyday. The truth of the case has been relegated to the second place, and the character and fate of the characters are placed in a prominent position. What is the lawyer played by Parker obsessed with? The defense of the "truth" or the defense of the defender has become a test of human nature, and the proportion of human feelings in the law, and how much influence and ruling power the judge should have is extremely...

      One of Hitchcock's most unique films. 1. Andrew is a variation of Mrs. Danvers for [Butterfly Dream], and the homosexual tendencies are about to come out. 2. The femme fatale seduces gay men, and finally breaks with the male savior, and is also punished by the ultimate endorsement of the male power image [Charles Laughton], a cruel but decisive female portrayal. 3. The multinational casts are outstanding, and Parker struggles to perform against the impure gentleman. 4. Louis Jordan's long and...

      The actor's acting is nothing to sneeze at. Neither the English name nor the Chinese name understands the meaning of Shenma. Personally, I think this is a movie with the most chaotic logic in Xi Fater, and the three views are quite strange. The lawyer played by Parker forgets that his newlywed wife falls in love with a female client after only meeting a few times. , pouring blood on her husband's servants and forcibly confessing to the culprits. what? ? ? The female client fell in love with her...
