Could have been four stars. But there is an obvious bug in the film: Philip crushed the wine glass in his hand due to nervousness, and it was obvious that he was bleeding from the injury. But when Auntie was shown a palmistry later, both hands in front of the camera were intact. It's a timing error. Anyway, overall it's pretty good. The continuous long shots are relatively novel, and the rhythm of the camera moves is fast and orderly, which can highlight the key points and create suspense, while also controlling the psychological tension of the audience to a certain extent. Rupert used a subjective lens when describing how he might have killed David. The viewer's point of view followed Rupert's gaze, slowly sweeping the doorway, corridor, wine glasses, sofa, etc., and then the symbolic box slowly The ground appeared from the camera, and at this time I gasped.
Hitchcock is great at creating tension. One example is when everyone but the maid was talking after dinner, discussing why David didn't show up. This is Hitchcock, not focusing on the person who is talking, but fixed in front of the corridor, next to the box, the maid is going back and forth to pick up the things on the box, take away the plate, take the candle, lift the tablecloth, and prepare to open it Put the book in the box! Step by step, this relatively quiet and long shot makes the audience nervous. We see what is happening, and we can predict what will happen next. In this fixed, unavoidable lens, people can only try to calm down and have to accept the upcoming psychological shock.
