old-fashioned charm

I've seen Siokok the most, maybe four times. One more time than Psycho.

The scenes are simple, the characters simple, and early in the morning they reveal who the killers are and what they want to do with a heartbeat. I don't know if I admire people with high IQ or have a strong sense of substitution, but I was set on the criminal's side by the plot setting.

In the process of watching the movie, my heart was hanging, I was worried about the criminals being seen through, I was anxious about the failure of my accomplices, I was embarrassed for the teacher's shrewdness and ability, and I was very sorry for the plan being revealed. Hahaha.

The old film has its own stagnant and soothing charm of that era. It may also be that the expectations for the shooting skills, lighting, scenery, etc. of the old films are naturally lowered. The rhythm and scenes of the old films can generally be watched without obstacles. Small cost investment.

Siokok, as the originator, really makes future generations look up to him.

    Crazy scheduling, that was the age of the cumbersome film film! !

    #closed spacenarrative#1. Adapted from a stage play, the narrative time is unified with the real time. Excellent shot scheduling makes the space feel like a theater stage. In order to make the space look more open, Hitchcock also set one wall in the space as a transparent glass window, and outside the window is the landscape of the whole city, just like the background of the stage. Not only does the film retain the basic theatrical setting, but the film remains a movie. #scene#2. Switching at points in time that need to be emphasized, shortening the time by pushing the camera to the back of a character or focusing on an object. So the boundaries of this film are subtle shifts of perspective in the same space. Characters move to new spaces in the apartment as new events occur. 3. The film was rehearsed for ten days and filmed for eighteen days. Hitchcock wanted to connect things and make only single progress. The more one thinks about the film, the more one tends to revert to the classic, brilliant method of splitting that has been proven good since Griffith. 4. The film must be divided into shots.

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?
