It is said that after the film was released, many people watched the scene and dared not take a shower.
Then the scene really appeared, and then there was a series of horror scenes. But to be honest I wasn't frightened at all, and had long guessed that it was Beth who actually killed. However, if you think about it, it's actually because people's terror threshold has been raised. In fact, all the emotional thresholds of modern people have been raised. In other words, everyone is a little numb, not easily afraid, not easily happy, and not easily moved. It's like thinking that the cross talk sketches today will never be as funny as the ones you watched when you were young, but if you look at the replays, they are just like that when you were a child, and you won't easily move an expression muscle for them. The plot of this film has been abused and outdated, but at that time, I believe that this kind of storytelling and shooting method must be very shocking, so it was imitated and repeated as a classic.
Hitchcock tells a thrilling story in a leisurely manner. The layers are well laid out. There are so many bridges in the second half of the film. A high slope, and then rushing down, the thrill is the same.
When I took a shower at night, I found that the bathroom light was broken. Under the dark shower, I suddenly felt a sense of terror rising from the bottom of my heart. Hitchcock, after all Hitchcock.
