The long shot of God's perspective in the first few minutes of the film does not lock anyone in the noisy crowd, and even the protagonist of the film can easily be skipped as a passerby. This psychological sense of horror and depression runs through the whole film, which is very obvious. Director's skills. The recording and jazz in the whole film are constantly switched back and forth, which not only highlights the depressing atmosphere, but also has a touch of nostalgia in the depression. The soundtrack is worthy of praise. From the current point of view, this movie may not be very amazing, but since he came out more than 30 or 40 years ago, he has indeed influenced many movies of this type, and even established part of the tone of this type of movie. At the end of the plot, after the male protagonist demolished the whole room in order to find a bug, he played the bleak feeling of the saxophone, which was very artistic. It doesn't matter where the eavesdropper is, what matters is that it has been deeply embedded in his heart. The slightly imperfect place is the plot: 1. The male protagonist is an extremely cautious person. How could he have a one-night stand at the workplace without sufficient precautions. 2. The location of the murder may be in a hotel. The professional eavesdropping actor did not find any reliable evidence, but in the plot, it is impossible to kill with a plastic bag without leaving evidence, which is a bit far-fetched. If the process of killing without leaving a trace is detailed, it will be a bit overwhelming. Therefore, I personally feel that it is better to leave a bit of evidence in the hotel, which will also make the male protagonist think that the beauty was killed until the final plot reversal.
