How a perfect suspense story was played by two fools

As a film master, Hitchcock shot a "pseudo-one-shot" film in 1948, which was very groundbreaking at that time, and it was filmed before the founding of our country, which is even more amazing. But I looked at the reviews of this film, and most of them were talking about a fake one-shot to the end, but very few people talked about the plot and the shaping of the characters in this film, and this film review mainly talks about these.

In elementary school, teachers taught us how to write a good composition, and the same is true for filmmaking. The characters and the plot are the key to a movie. Hitchcock is undoubtedly average in the shaping of the characters, and the plot of Brandon putting the dead in the table seriously violates my common sense. Many people said that they could not use the sword of this dynasty to kill the officials of the previous dynasty, but they hid the dead and invited someone to come here to hold a party. In the end, it was discovered that the storyline was nonsense enough, not only the current dynasty did not, even if you look at Pangu’s Heaven and earth still do not exist. Although I know that it is needed for the plot, it must be close to life and tell some normal stories. It would be better if Hitchcock was changed to a screenwriter.

Needless to say, Phillip's character creation is flat, and in key plots, he surrenders himself before the other party even speaks, so he doesn't make a fool of himself... Speechless

After watching this movie, many people should think of "Rear Window", which was also shot by Hitchcock, but in fact, it is actually more similar to "Twelve Angry Men" in structure, but only in structure. There are not many suspenseful and thrilling colors in the plot design. In fact, the main point is to discuss the upper class and the lower class at the end. The popular point is class discrimination.

The first half progresses too slowly, the last 20 minutes are the best, if you haven't watched it yet, I suggest you fast forward the first half. In fact, in the end, when you think about Rupert's words carefully, it is easy to remind you of the 2020 US election (manual dog head). As a reminder, if you want to watch the thriller genre, go to "Psycho", the suspense genre is "Rear Window", and in this movie, neither is dominant.

    Without any editing, a long shot to the end, the whole film is in one room, creating suspense that there is no suspense at all. In fact, this is Hitchcock's least suspenseful one. But there is a little bit, the meaning is that no one is the so-called superior, and can deprive others of their lives at will

    10 long shots of Hitchcock. Breathtaking. The stage effect is too heavy.

Rope quotes

  • Phillip: Rupert only publishes books *he* likes... usually philosophy.

    Janet: Oh. Small print, big words, no sales.

    Brandon: Rupert's extremely radical. Do you know that he selects his books on the assumption that people not only can read but actually can think?

  • Rupert Cadell: Brandon's spoken of you.

    Janet: Did he do me justice?

    Rupert Cadell: Do you deserve justice?
