-Hitchcock bull b!

Especially in the middle and back parts, the male protagonist describes the scene in the cabin on the night of Rebecca's death. He is describing Rebecca. The camera moves with his narration, but there are no characters in the camera. Everything depends on the imagination of the audience. The empty mirror brings The shocking and visual sense of the image made me immersed in it. Maybe this is the blank?

The narrative technique is clear and interesting, and the fast-paced lead is not enough to think about, but it can also grasp the subtle psychological changes of the protagonist. I don't think the fast pace makes the characters thin and unfilled. How lucky were people half a century ago to be able to see this masterpiece in advance?

I was very impressed with the way Mr. de winter handled things, he kept making the heroine as honest as he was with himself. He's so gentleman, considerate, that's why he's taken aback by the Rebecca deal.

The heroine's micro-movements also vividly portray her psychological activities, such as nervously grabbing her little finger, her slightly hunched back due to the eerie coldness of Manderley Manor, and her often gloomy face. I also admit that beauty, wit and intelligence are important to a woman, but kindness, sincerity and modesty are the same shining qualities.

The housekeeper, Mrs Danvers, is so obsessed with Rebecca that she has a wonderful expression that reminds me of Madame on Sunset Boulevard. Worshiping idols, in essence, carries with it a blind zeal and the urge to defile the idol.

The focus of the film's narrative revolves around Rebecca, and she does triumph.

    Hahahahaha Isn't Rebecca in "Butterfly Dream" the Chun Yuan in "Zhen Huan"? In 1940, Kubrick designed a plot where the new couple was framed and put on the old clothes to provoke her husband's anger.

    One of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock works. . The adaptation is much better than the original. . Laurence Olivier is of course a regal gentleman. . Joan Fontaine is very suitable for the role of a commoner girl + sensitive and suspicious~~

Rebecca quotes

  • Mrs. de Winter: [opening voice-over] Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me I stood by the iron gate leading to the drive, and for a while I could not enter, for the way was barred to me. Then, like all dreamers, I was possessed of a sudden with supernatural powers and passed like a spirit through the barrier before me. The drive wound away in front of me, twisting and turning as it had always done. But as I advanced, I was aware that a change had come upon it. Nature had come into her own again, and little by little had encroached upon the drive with long, tenacious fingers. On and on wound the poor thread that had once been our drive, and finally there was Manderley. Manderley - secretive and silent. Time could not mar the perfect symmetry of those walls. Moonlight can play odd tricks upon the fancy, and suddenly it seemed to me that light came from the windows. And then a cloud came upon the moon and hovered an instant like a dark hand before a face. The illusion went with it. I looked upon a desolate shell with no whisper of the past about its staring walls. We can never go back to Manderley again. That much is certain. But sometimes, in my dreams I do go back to the strange days of my life, which began for me in the South of France.
