Madeleine an hour ago, Judy an hour later, changed her name and identity but still had the same soul. In the first half, she performed a play with her old classmate to cover up his crime of killing his wife, but in it she inevitably fell in love with the male lead; in the second half, she should have left here with the money given by her old classmate to start a new one. life, but she did not leave the city because of this relationship that should not exist, and after meeting the male protagonist, she has been helping him to fulfill his fantasy of Madeleine. The two names correspond to different identities, but they are the same soul. As Milan Kundera discusses in The Unbearable Lightness of Life: "Does a person's name define his body or his soul? When his body changes little by little, the body can still have this Is it your name?" The two-hour film tells two stories coherently. In the end, the male protagonist finally overcomes his fears, but the ghostly nun once again broke the happy ending. Hitchcock's perfect use of music and camera lens, people have been in a state of tension. The vertigo scene of the male protagonist climbing the tower made me feel like I was there. I think this one and "Rear Window" are the best Hitchcock movies I've ever seen.

    He was amazed at how well Xi Fatt told a simple story with a simple lens. The pairing of the far and near shots, the overhead shot, the overhead shot, the panorama, and the staggered presentation all have different meanings and hints at different times, giving the audience a feeling of a film within a film, which is just too clever!
