The perfect suspense and the distance from the heart

This film, which was shot in more than 30 days, is lackluster.

The narrative method of the film is absolutely good and innovative in sixty years, and it is still the master of suspense, just as suspense and movement are the most attractive in the film, the beginning of the film directly peels off the fog in the dark and guides the direction of our story, but It will not always be what you expected. If Foucault said that what happened next to a film, you can know that this film is a failure to a certain extent. The narrative at the beginning has established character relationships for us. At this time, most of the emotions will be biased towards the male protagonist, towards the weak. I want to see this murderer and come to release, although it is a bit inappropriate to say that, will I be deprived of my life because of cheating? Of course not, I think it is true For a few feminist films, you can watch "gone lover", "Three Billboards" and "All About My Mother", because I have recently started to systematically study feminist criticism from Teacher Dai Jinhua. Then we started to enter the murder processing. The male protagonist repeatedly emphasized that the key should be put back after completion (this is to prevent accidents). The male protagonist was extremely cautious in the first half of the film review, wiping fingerprints and saving a small amount of money. Money, but the killer didn't follow the male lead's request, and put it under the mat before the murderer, and was killed by an accident. There was a small climax in this place. At this time, this problem became more and more interesting. Part of the concern about the transformation of Murder to how the male protagonist protects himself, how to deal with this matter, can Murder continue? The point is that the two keys have become three keys at this time (since the male protagonist used the killer key to impersonate the female protagonist), the male protagonist/female protagonist/prisoner's key, through the line of three keys to advance the story, we are in God Perspective Looking at how this group of people in the fog is looking for truth, we are eagerly concerned that the people in the fog can find it, but we are not sure whether they can find it until the last second, until the last door turns on the light. Seconds!! We got it, they found it, we resorted to countless attempts and guesses in the process, I have a special image example!!! You are killed first, then you have God's perspective, you know who everyone is, but you can't speak! Then there is no need to express the suspense and tension. When you see your own teammates identifying their teammates as a werewolf, you immediately take upppppppp. This is the mechanism of the second half. In this way, the audience entered the hegemonic mechanism of Ke Fat. The decoding part of Hall's encoding and decoding theory is divided into three methods, namely hegemony, negotiation, and confrontation. But again and again I entered the hegemonic mode and felt this murder.

The structure of the film's audio-visual language is similar to the rear window, but the shallow personal opinions and logical loopholes are really difficult for serious people to agree with. From the point of view of the key, whether the male protagonist can be convicted or not is not very important, because everyone present at the end knows the truth. It's mainly the key under the blanket, why not throw it away afterward, where it stays from the beginning to the end and use it to open the door at the end or if the heroine is so obedient, the hero can burn things, why not just return the keys under the carpet or put it away? Back in the killer's clothes. It doesn't affect the accusation of the heroine in the second part, and it can also protect myself. If it is said that this is done for the purpose of making a movie, it can only show that it is low-level, and there are better ways to think about it.

Dial M for Murder quotes

  • Mark Halliday: When did you find out, sir?

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: Well, the first clue came quite by accident.

    [to Margot]

    Chief Insp. Hubbard: We discovered that your husband had been spending a large number of pound notes all over the place - it ran into over three hundred pounds - and it appeared to have started at about the time you were arrested. Now, I had to find out where he got that money, and how. Then I remembered that after you were arrested we searched this flat, and I saw a copy of his bank statement in that desk. So yesterday afternoon, I went to the prison and asked to see your handbag. While I was doing this, I managed to lift your latchkey. Highly irregular, of course, but my blood was up. And then this morning when your husband was out, I came back here to look at his statement. I never saw it... because I never got through that door. You see, the key that I'd taken from your handbag didn't fit the lock!

  • C.A. Swan: You know, I think I must have seen you somewhere since we left Cambridge.

    Tony Wendice: Ever been to Wimbledon?

    C.A. Swan: That's it! Wendice. Tony Wendice. What's all this about "Fisher"?

    Tony Wendice: What's all this about "Lesgate"?

    [embarrassed, Swan doesn't respond]

    Tony Wendice: Would you like a cigar?
