Similar suspense dramas like "Butterfly Dream" are particularly difficult to put on the Oscar nomination list, but as the Oscar's best picture winner that year is still very convincing,

the story adapted from the novel of the same name can be said to make people feel Without a creative storyline, which of the film's most intriguing points can be captured? And Hitchcock can very tactfully use other elements besides the story to attract the audience. Actors, script and atmosphere are the most important foundations for the success of "Butterfly Dream".
A manor that is even more frightening than a castle. It seems that this atmosphere is intertwined with countless secrets, sadness and hatred. The grand hall where things are different from others still feels her existence, which makes us seem to be in love with this man who was originally there. The powerful hostess of the manor has fantasies about why she deserves the male host's hesitation again and again, and the servants' faithful and maddening worship. Who knows that when the story develops to the end, there are all kinds of unimaginable conspiracies and criminal evidence buried there. The plot of the story is very rational and strong. The script portrays every character in the movie vividly and movingly, such as the heroine who falls in love with love, the male host who is troubled by sin, the crazy loyal servant, the lover who is in trouble, and so on. A tense and exciting intrigue battle.

I really like the crazy admirer in the movie - the Danviers maid; she is undoubtedly the brightest point in the whole scene, with her expressionless face and dilated pupils, like a ghost. I can't help but add a bit of yin to the atmosphere of the manor, and I can see this atmosphere a few times. Then he designed and framed the heroine for his admirers, and the heroine and her fight became an indispensable highlight of the movie. The intertwining of hatred and helplessness between the two actors was very fascinating. The final self-immolation in the idol's residence is also shocking. Suffice to say it was fantastic.

This manor, buried in the fire with luxurious decoration but full of desolate atmosphere, finally successfully amazed the world. Although "Butterfly Dream" is not so "smart" in the true sense, it has undoubtedly become a One of Hitchcock's timeless classic suspense.
