A very different one in Hitchcock's sequence, it no longer uses editing and coherent clues to shape the entire murder, but pays more attention to bringing in the audience, which goes back to what "Reaper of Souls" talked about The Art of Murder and Moral Judgment. The long shot of more than ten minutes did not bring too much boredom (this is an old version of the interior scheduling textbook), the director used real time and a lot of dialogue to bring the audience into this party, because the film itself The time span of the film is also very small, so the time inside and outside the film is almost equal, which gives the audience a sense of identity with the character's situation, and invisibly planted a time bomb for the audience. And when Robert told the murder process, he used an empty mirror combined with narrative language to restore the details of the murder, which is quite advanced. For Hitchcock, murder is like a clue game. The film develops for a period of time to give a clue, and finally summarizes all the clues to find out the whole murder process. When filming, I can feel the cherishing and carving of each frame at that time.) The color gives people a sense of reality, giving each person a different character, depicting the character's heart, etc. The film's criticism of "Superman" and the introspection of Robert's character , which has a strong sense of the times and realism, and satirizes the social and political "cannibalism" attribute of the time. Although it caused strong repercussions and doubts in the society, this does not affect the film's pivotal role in film history. status, which also shows Hitchcock's concern and sense of social responsibility for the current society.

    "Imperial Soul" is not a complete shot. There are many obvious transitions. The use of occlusion is the most common technique. The 80-minute film realized the dream of Xi Pang's technology. At that time, it was very difficult to shoot, marking on the ground, moving walls and The furniture, the New York night view outside the window is a circular curtain; it was so hard to shoot, but later he was disgusted by Xi Pang.

    From various perspectives, such as the lens movement, the connection between Nazis and Nietzsche, and the obscure gay themes, it can withstand multiple interpretations. A single scene film full of tension, the ultimate psychological warfare. The drama of several main actors adds a touch of color to the film, and I look forward to seeing "Rope" again on the theater stage. Personally think this film should be listed as one of the top ten fat people.

    Brandon: Rupert's extremely radical. Do you know that he selects his books on the assumption that people not only can read but actually can think?

  • Rupert Cadell: Brandon's spoken of you.

    Janet: Did he do me justice?

    Rupert Cadell: Do you deserve justice?
