Some Feelings of "The Rope"

I think of Joyce's The Dead, considered the best English-language short story of the twentieth century, Hitchcock is a feast that begins after the dead, full of swaying wine glasses and uncomplicated character relationships After a boring meeting, Joyce took people to the ancient dead, to the snow in Ireland, one killed the dead because of the concept of superman and superior, and the other was in youth. The longing to die in love, the philosophy of fear, the peaceful exploration, the intertwined death of loneliness and the boring reunion, the rope and the pistol and the whistling siren at the end constitute the body of this film, the romantic memory and the lonely reality also. A vague future is Joyce's body. Romance and fear are just two sides of the same thing. Silence and death are the only truths in a puzzling reality. The fear of death and the yearning for the harmony of love are mutual. Bonding, no winner, no murderer, no fictional or reminiscence, togetherness and separation are equally fascinating, love and suspicion are equally fascinating, and I don't think this movie is more fascinating than "Dr Edward" or "Psychopath" Frightened, I read it with a peaceful heart, like reading Joyce's novel with a touch of sadness, immersed in the siren and snowflakes in the sky, gays play the piano at the last moment, and I also hold the wine glass , to celebrate something passed and to come.

    The long shot here is not to fake a complete time and space, but to coerce the audience into a wandering perspective and coerce to become an accomplice. The most wonderful is of course the human drama. The love for the teacher must be expressed by the execution of the killing. Brandon is a true Nietzschean believer, and the teacher is a false believer, so it is impossible to recover. All he can give is a bunch of powerless social preaching. The psychological warfare in the alternation of red and green light, opening the window and firing the gun to break the enclosed space, the murderer drinking and playing the piano and waiting for the fate to come are the most exciting endings.

    It seems to be one shot to the end, but in fact, several places are connected by occlusion (such as pushing the camera to the back of the character). Of course, there are technical reasons for this, but there is no need to criticize it. Scheduling is not very good - the sense of stage drama is too heavy. Of course, it would be unfair to compare the long shots of later generations. At that time, trying to synchronize the time in the film (however, it was not synchronized, a dinner party was eaten in more than half an hour?) It was still a meaningful attempt. In addition, the characters and plot logic in this film are not as reasonable as those in many other films. It would also be unfair to give too high a rating because of a few vague homosexual innuendos.

Rope quotes

  • Phillip: Rupert only publishes books *he* likes... usually philosophy.

    Janet: Oh. Small print, big words, no sales.

    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?
