In the movie, the accomplice, the old lady and the guest are talking about the table, and the conversation breaks up with the dissatisfaction of the accomplice. When the guest suspects that a murder may have occurred in this room, the accomplice draws a picture. At this time The sound that appeared was the laughter of the guests. We can clearly know that the sound came from the kitchen opposite. As the camera zoomed in on the guests, there was a strange dissonant piano music. It was found that he had been keenly aware of the murder.
The weird dissonance interval makes the audience feel uneasy, but since the camera is also in the guest, we don't know whether this piece of music comes from the active music in the scene or the passive music outside the scene. As the guest slowly turned to the murderer b who was playing the piano, we knew that the sound was played by him, that is, the active music in the house. This music subtly matched the clues of the story and exacerbated the tension between the characters.
At the end of the movie, Rupert, who had discovered the secret of the murder, stood outside the window, opened the window and fired three shots outside the house, followed by a voice-over: passers-by were surprised to discuss the source of the gunshots, the whistle of the police car, these All of the sounds come from outside the screen. Although there is no picture, the director's handling is very clever, and the whole scene is confined to the room, and the sound of gunfire outside the window does not break away, which greatly deepens the ending of the three people. Trapped in the house with a sense of confusion and powerlessness, and at the same time let the audience know the truth is about to be made public through the sound, omitting unnecessary shooting, and at the same time, by pulling the camera to shape Rupert's image of justice, which is the final direction of the character. period.
The plot of the film is not about a typical social evil, but more like a dark comedy. The murderer pretended to be clever, but instead shot himself in the foot. The focus of the film is no longer on discussing the cruelty of the crime, but on narrating the farce in a mocking and sarcastic tone.
