      Atypical sermon by a devout believer

      "The Reunification" 1956

      Occasionally guest appearances in films directed by him are Hitchcock's little hobby. This habit has been with him for many years, and now it has become an interesting story of film history praised by fans.

      Hitchcock still showed his face in The Reunion directed in 1956, but the situation is...

      Do unto others, do not impose on others

      The whole movie is very smooth, there is no violent conflict, there is no human hostility, the male protagonist is strictly followed from the arrest to the trial, but the female protagonist is finally driven crazy! You can say it is because the hostess, as a housewife, is not used to pressure and has no endurance, but you can't blame anyone, even a prisoner, because he hasn't been planted, and everyone is fulfilling their obligations in accordance with their social roles. So, where is the...

      About the story

      At the end, when the wife is unwilling to go back with her husband, she unconsciously thinks that if she reverses suddenly, the wife will fall into mental confusion just because she knows that her husband is the murderer and has left feelings for him. It seems to be more tortuous and more complicated. Can make people feel surprised and amazed. But Hitchcock did not do this, perhaps because he has always retained a continuation of a rewarding ending, or perhaps it originated from a true...

      Real life is often more ruthless than movies and literature.

      This is a black-and-white film shot in the 1950s. The difference is that director Hitchcock made his debut at the beginning, saying that this is a more suspenseful and bizarre story than all the movies he has made, and it is based on Adapted from real people and real things.
      The movie is about a middle-aged man playing bass in a nightclub. He has a wife and two children. The life of the family rests on him alone. He took a loan to see a doctor for his wife, but he was arrested by a...

      Depressed and can't bear to continue

      Hitchcock's narration at the beginning of the film undoubtedly added a hint to the film, a hint to the audience. The effect of this suggestion, at least for me, is to believe that every word in the film is true. This kind of real feeling casts more depression on the film.
         
         Think about it carefully when Henry Fonda applied for a loan to his wife, and when Henry Fonda met the Miss James at the end of the film, the facial expressions of Miss James's were almost the same. Distorted...

      In 1956##Justice# was the only intersection between Henry Fonda and Hitchcock. Under the camera, Manny was dizzy, fearful, confused, and the warm family at the bottom was shattered. Personal interests seemed so insignificant in front of collective interests, playing the role of being ruled by the system. crushed vulnerable groups. Henry Fonda of #12 Angry Men in 1957 stood on the jury and said that witnesses will inevitably make mistakes, bringing the light of hope for democracy. This is also...

      The reason for the injustice is that alibi was not proposed by the police to be shown, so it was the viewers who were anxious, and when they searched for them, the two witnesses were already dead. The sense of integration is very strong, and the happy ending at the end is relieved from waking up from a...
