In the past two years, I watched the biopic of the Queen of England and the biographical film of the democracy fighter Aung San Suu Kyi. Without exception, I focused on depicting the love life of the two. Hitchcock was not exempt from the custom, and wrote the Hitchcock couple's life with great color. Spiritual derailment, almost a bit of American Beauty. At the end, there was a happy ending to make Hitchcock finally "realize" that he didn't understand women, and finally learned to be considerate of his wife's efforts over the years, and so on, it's really big Disgusting. . .
The original work of the movie script is known as Hitchcock and the making of psycho, so the movie has been focusing on the shooting of psycho, which is also loyal to the original work.
After watching the movie, I have a feeling of throwing bricks at the scene. Although the movie itself is not very good, many historical details are quite interesting. For example, before psycho, Paramount has shot two Hitchcock scripts, and psycho is the third script. The master paid for the filming himself and gave up the director fee of 250,000 US dollars. The condition is that after the release, 60% of the profit is required to be divided. It seems that after seeing the box office, it should be divided into 5 million US dollars. It is a good deal.
Also, psycho's original novel was published in 1959. Before the filming started in 1960, the master bought out almost all the novels on the market in order to prevent the plot of the movie from leaking in advance. In fact, if you think about it carefully, this may be a marketing gimmick. Hitchcock has become famous in 60 years. In order to understand the plot of the movie in advance, it should not be so difficult for the media to find a book that has been published for a year.
Hitchcock's wife is only a day younger than him. She specializes in film editing. The two have a daughter named Patricia. It is said that Truffaut once admired Hitchcock and wanted to marry his daughter. Most of this gossip is not credible. , But Truffaut did visit Hitchcock specifically in 1962, leaving a lot of Hitchcock's views on his films. It is surprising that a new wave leader like Truffaut can appreciate Hollywood directors so much. Perhaps a master who can combine art films and commercial films so perfectly is indeed rare.
