It’s just a tribute to Hitchcock, there is nothing to do with it

Because she has always trusted Dunster's judgment in selecting films, the film she participated in, even if it is not a purely good film, is at least a well-made commercial film. Moreover, the whole story of "Desperate Mediterranean" takes place in the generation of Greece and Italy, with a foreign background, everywhere makes people feel mysterious and nervous.

Later I learned that the film was a tribute to Hitchcock. Ashamed, I have always liked Hitchcock, but for Hitchcock's film, I really didn't study it thoroughly. When it comes to Hitchcock, it is nothing more than Freud's mental horror, tension, danger and anxiety. Of course, there is also his tradition of showing his big fat body in his movies, and pioneers of several shooting methods (for this you can read the blog post of his movie I wrote before http://blog.sina.com.cn /s/blog_459424700101e1l3.html ) But apart from these, what are the other factors in Hitchcock's film? After reading "desperate Mediterranean" the film, I thought for a moment to go home, I think this is a few places this film tribute to him:

Film takoyaki: Enter moviezys attention

1 person met a short time

in the Hitch In K's story, the occurrence of the story is nothing more than the composition of people. The characters in Hitchcock's movies only met at the beginning of the movie, and then they are inseparable, otherwise there will be a series of thrilling things that will happen next. We always feel that everyone does not look as simple as their identity when they appear on the stage. Everyone is a mystery, and we have to wait until the story happens before we slowly uncover the hidden truth of everyone. These are also one of the keys to creating a story, because no story will leave human development, and we are most concerned about the changes in people's mentality and behavior when an accident occurs.



2 Constant conflict

The tense atmosphere of this kind of movie is the unstoppable rhythm. Conflicts continue to occur because of changes in human psychological factors. In fact, many of Hitchcock's films show the nature of human beings in special emergencies. There is no clear distinction between good and evil, only the contradictory standard of human nature that is ugly and selfish but kind and timid.



3 A perfect ending

Hitchcock's movie has the ability to be nervous and make you nervous, but the ending is mostly happy. For example, in this film, Dunst's death was an accident, but it's not unexpected even after thinking about it. Because she is not as steady, kind and generous as she seems. She loves money, knowing that her husband's money is stolen, and it came from "theft", she still enjoys splurge shopping. Therefore, her unexpected death at the hands of her husband is also a kind of karma. And this husband not only cheated money, but also killed someone by mistake to keep the money. His nerves have gradually collapsed on the next escape route. He didn't believe in anyone, and he slaughtered his life. His death was actually a kind of fulfillment for him. And it’s no surprise that the tour guide, who was obsessed with beauty and wanted to take the opportunity to make money, was innocently involved in this case, but in the end, the husband clarified the tour guide’s innocence in his dying language before his death, which was considered a little conscience. Originally, the tour guide did not do any harm to the heavens and reason. If he was finally taken advantage of and sent to the prison, he would be a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, this movie did not install this strange thing.

In general, this film still plays the cards according to the routine, and there is not much success. Just like this, it is just a tribute to Hitchcock.

    Some genius Ripley feels. But there is no suspense for Mao? ! ! I hate this kind of story in the cloak of a thriller, but it can't be said to be love or family!
