The classic one-shot-long-lens movie case. I love Hitchcock's movies, but not this one. First of all, the whole film is more like a drama work that strictly adheres to the "Three Uniforms", and the actors "according to the director's arrangement" to tell the story on the stage formed by this confined space. Secondly, the presence of the "director" is too strong, and the use of the camera lens and the scheduling of the scene show very obvious design traces. Every second allows people to see the existence of the "director", and it is impossible to really be there. environment, resulting in a large loss of authenticity. Again, in the play, many plots are a bit far-fetched. For example, the reason for the two murdered David was not explained; after everyone left, the phone rang, and Brandon had no necessary reason to let Philip, who was so panicked that he could not keep his senses, go. Answering the phone; in the end, when Rupert and Philip grabbed the pistol, Brandon watched, but did not act in embarrassment; in the end, the big truth that Rupert told Brandon directly in his lines , a little awkward, and so on. The design of these plots is obviously plots for plots, lacking authenticity, and the audience is always aware that this is a "made-up" story. On the whole, this film seems to be designed for the "one shot to the end", as if all the plots and characters serve only for this "one shot to the end", and lose their role as the story itself. charm. Just like the saying: "For this dish of vinegar, I made this dish of dumplings." Although the film did not adopt the method of "breaking the fourth wall", it still produced a so-called "distancing effect"—— Let the audience always realize that this is a "fake" and "made up" story. In the end, I still like and respect Hitchcock's other films.
