Every time I watch one, my admiration for Hitchcock's boss grows more and more. This movie is so special. It tells the story of a spiritual doctor who is quite Faustian and loves Shakespeare's love poems and falls in love with a patient (John Valentine). story together. Several thoughts and feelings: 1. In the narrative structure, Hsieh gives the facts that have happened in the past, and then gives double assumptions about what may happen in the future. After re-confirmation of the past (in the film, it is reflected in the train and skiing) to realize the reversal of the plot. On the one hand, it gives the audience a sense of participation, interactivity, and the possibility of choice, and on the other hand, it allows the audience to get the greatest viewing experience in the process. In such a structure, Heath was more of a logician. The outcome to be expected in the future is both a necessary and a necessary and a sufficient and necessary condition of past facts. The process in between is the story. The narrative of "Phone Murder" is also embodied in advance assumptions and open-ended verification. At the moment when the murderer opens the door at the end, the audience gets a great viewing experience. Such suspenseful reasoning is very advanced reasoning. From this, I think of To Qifeng's "The Detective" 2. Two narrative lines, one is the doctor's (explicit), and the other is the police (hidden). When the two intersect, a wrong result is generated, but it points to the final reversal. 3. The confrontation shown in the whole film is not only the confrontation between psychological reality and realistic logic, but also the confrontation between the doctor's perceptual intuition and the factual evidence that Dr. Edward is dead, and also the confrontation between black and white in audio-visual language (form), and even more so. The contrast between light and dark in the light is reflected in the film as Gregory Pike's tall figure, shot back against the light, the face is illuminated and the rest of the body is black. There is an amazing unity of form and narrative structure. 4. Pike's performance is a little green. Quite tall and handsome.
