I always wanted to find some relaxing films to watch on the weekends, and I cherished the time on the weekends, so I went to Hitchcock to watch them.
I accidentally opened "Thirty-Nine Steps", a 1935 film. I didn't expect much. I didn't expect it to be so exciting.
The theme is similar to "North by Northwest", but it is slightly better (in fact, more than one). I don't know if it is because of the difference between Robert Donat and Gary Grant. An ordinary person is involved in a dangerous espionage case. After Robert Donat's Richard Hannet was shot in the concert hall, he met a beautiful woman who followed him back to the apartment. Admitting that he is a spy, and telling the thirty-nine steps and Scotland, the woman was assassinated. He couldn't argue, and had to embark on the road to search for the truth. He was chased in the car and was exposed by the woman Pamela and ran away. , Came to the countryside of Scotland, lived in a farmer's house, and was rescued by Margaret. He successfully found the Englishman, and then things didn't go as smoothly as he imagined.
As a Canadian, Richard Hanney is an outsider. In his eyes, the Englishman is very interesting. In this regard, Hitchcock is quite humorous. The waitress opened the door and opened her mouth. The train honked the whistle, and the scream and whistle overlapped; on the train, two men discussed the old and stiff. They thought it was a train, but they were actually women’s waistbands; in the pursuit of the train, one of them was full of The trays of plates dodge left and right without breaking the cups and plates; the extremely developed newspaper industry has become the main medium for transmitting the news; the speeches made by mistakes make people watch with gusto. Countless classic shots have also been created in the film, which is amazing for Hitchcock's creativity. In my heart, this film is almost completely "Northwest by Northwest".
The plot of the story has twists and turns. The actor Hannei has always been in a position of being chased and arrested. He escaped again and again. As an ordinary person, every time he escapes is reasonable and reasonable, as a "wrong person", he does it every time. By the way, after thinking about this process carefully, one of the reasons why this process gives people a good impression is that women drive the plot. Compared with the superior male perspective in "North by Northwest", this film, I doubt it is a grandma screenwriter. And directed by. The film also portrays a lot of female images (of course, I also portray my favorite male characters in the film, Mr. Memory, his last shot in the theater is heartbreaking), but the few strokes are vivid, from the beginning The glamorous and alert female spies went to the train to expose Pamela in Hanne, from Margaret who yearned for city life, to the hotel’s kind, cute and witty female boss who told her husband "old idiot", it was all impressive. profound. Especially for Margaret, Hannife would think her husband is the father when she saw her. She came from a larger city, but lived with her husband in the countryside. I think there must be more stories behind her. Wit, she discovered the truth before her husband. She was kind and judged that Hannei was not a bad person. She was full of judgment and knew that her husband was unreliable. She was capable of action and quickly put on Hannei's coat of husband. This behavior indirectly saved Han. Once inside, this role is actually worth making in another movie. British national treasure actress Peggy Ashcroft performed this role, which is unforgettable and endless.
Compared with Margaret, the female No. 1 Pamela is responsible for misunderstanding the actor, exposing him, creating conflict plots, and performing some classic scenes, such as taking off stockings while eating a sandwich with Hannei with handcuffs. Not necessarily Hannei’s spiritual partner, but she is more independent, has a job, is an independent woman in a big city, has her own independent standpoint and judgment, it is actually very good, only urban women like her It's more suitable for the young talent Hannei.
But in my own heart, I always think of Margaret in the countryside who longs to look at the big city. Because of her identity, she can't get Pamela's life, the life she longs for.
Margaret's life is a tragic life beyond the perfect ending beyond the bizarre story in the film in my heart.
