Great disappointment in hope

At first I thought the two criminals were high IQs, at least Brandon was, but it was later discovered that one was a softie and the other was a self-righteous idiot. The work is more like a drama in a two-dimensional world, too far from reality. Who would be so foolish as to use secret murder to show their high opinion, even if they were to be fair and square, like the head of state; or to try to escape like a real criminal with high IQ, and would never lead like Brandon in the play The other side reasoned and found the truth. To get a high score for this movie, I just want to scold the dog. Is it all to show my approval of Brandon's rhetorical fool theory? Or do you express your difference through this? That's really as stupid as Brandon. Hitchcock's movies have seen a lot, there are many good ones, such as "Vertigo". But what is this? Isn't this just a literary film that expresses a fool's theory through murder? Is such a movie also suspenseful? The only thing that attracted me to the movie was Philip's piano sound in the play, and the elegant dress and behavior of the men. Of course, there were so many characters in the movies of that era that were outrageous. Fortunately, I always liked it. Between these two points is enough!

    I feel that most of Hitchcock's films do not describe the motives of murder in depth, and often stop at the psychological level, which lacks a high degree of human nature. This one has a taste of Agatha, and its play on human nature is better than others.

    This may be the most quintessential of all the Hitch films, that aura is condensed but not broken. Even if the truth is revealed in the end, the positional relationship of the three people after calling the police is very emotional in front of that night window.

Rope quotes

  • Brandon: What are you doing?

    Rupert Cadell: It's not what I'm going to do, Brandon. It's what society is going to do. I don't know what that will be, but I can guess, and I can help. You're going to die, Brandon. Both of you. You are going to die.

  • Brandon: But why should I want to come back?

    Phillip: Yes, why?

    Brandon: For the pleasure of our company, or another drink?

    Rupert Cadell: That's a very good idea. May I have one for the road?
