Carl is a well-known eavesdropping expert in half America. He was hired by a company chairman to help him detect an extramarital affair. The pair of cheating men and women in the eavesdropping tape left an important message: at 3 o'clock, a hotel's Room 773. Carl took the tape to the director, who was furious. For some reason, Carl found out in his conscience that he felt that he always sold out other people's secrets and killed others indirectly. full of blood on the glass window.

Karl, who has always been condemned by his conscience, is terrified, broken, and turns to cover his head with a quilt and turn on the TV to the loudest, in order to escape a murder by his own hands.

After a while, he calmed down, picked the lock and went to the next room, and found that there was nothing unusual or messy in the room, and the furnishings were the same as an empty room that no one had ever lived in, except that red blood was oozing from the toilet.

Later, he found that the cheating man and woman were safe, but the director of the company died in a car accident. He was confused and began to feel that something was wrong. The thing that frightened him the most was that he was being monitored, and the other party threatened him not to step in this muddy water.

The movie ends with Carl's skepticism. I rummaged through my house, took off the chandelier, turned on the phone with a screwdriver, turned on the electric panel and all other electronic devices in the house, smashed all the ceramics, tore the wallpaper, pryed open the wooden floor, and pryed open the door panel, and finally found nothing. Sitting in a chair dripping with sweat, he played the saxophone calmly.

    Rewatch. Forgive me for being blind-eyed before. The handling of the sound is astonishing, and while alienating from the picture, another emotional narrative clue is listed. With such a result, the film history may be the first. Coppola's analysis and reconstruction of the scene is also fully revealed in this film. Relying on his familiarity with American traditions to rebel, a lot of omitted editing shots and scenes are exchanged so smoothly. The editing at the beginning is as wonderful as Luo's Iger's "Venice", however, Coppola's most vocal is the sound (eavesdropping and the real opposition) and Roeg, the color (transcendental crisis awareness)

    The way the whole movie is presented is lethargic, but the beautiful ending takes it to the next level.

  • Harry Caul: If there's one sure fire rule that I have learned in this business is... I don't know anything about human nature. I don't know anything about curiousity. That's not part of what I do.
