Obsessed with "Marnie"

Hitchcock kept surprising me. Today, I watched Marnie, this 1964 film, translated into Chinese called "The Great Lover", is the role played by Connery when he was young. Think about his role in "The Trap" The demeanor here, I feel that some men are really more attractive as they get older. The heroine 'Tippi' Hedren had no previous impressions and was a real beauty.

The whole movie is bizarre and twists and turns. A beautiful woman with a mental illness keeps deceiving and deceiving. The hero played by Connery insists on marrying her back home and finding the root cause of her illness. There is no terrifying murder scene, but Hitchcock has been holding his nerves to explore the secret of the heroine's inner horror.

At the beginning of the movie, seeing Hitchcock himself coming out of an office with a plump figure made me laugh.

Watching this film, it is best not to know any introduction in advance, let your heart be lifted, and guess what the truth is, until the last moment to reveal the secret that is constantly being exaggerated and imagined.

While watching the movie, I sighed that everyone has had events of this kind or that in their lives, which have caused unspeakable trauma or shaping of their hearts or characters. Who can deeply analyze each of their behaviors and attitudes? A secret feeling perhaps stemming from a casual word or expression of someone in childhood? It's a coincidence that people are alive!

    Psychological mystery, taming of the repressed and frenzied; textual, dramatical and visual gems to be appreciated; Expressionism: scarlet suffusions, back-projection and backdrops, artificial-looking thunderstorms

    Sean Connelly, who has knowledge of Freud and zoology, has domesticated ocelots, so he has the confidence to domesticate the thieves. Stalking, detention, rape. A good way to play the heroine in the palm of your hand. The confident, self-disciplined and action-packed "Catwoman" at the beginning of the movie became a Barbie doll in line with traditional values ​​after treatment. Is this the culmination of Hitchcock's straight male cancer, or is Hitchcock deliberately doing the opposite? Until the end of the movie, I couldn't come to a conclusion.
