middleman roger
As a master of thriller and suspense films, the plot design of Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" is really classic. The suspense of the paragraphs is progressive, and the plot is arranged compactly and rigorously.
In this "North by Northwest" film, the story unfolds with the underworld mistaking advertiser Roger for Kepsen as a clue. In this way, the story connected Roger with the underworld, and Kepsen, a non-existent person, was a virtual intelligence agent of the FBI to arrest the underworld personnel. In order to prove his innocence, Roger had to use Kepsen's name. In the name of collecting evidence, Roger also had contact with the FBI. Roger was formally established as a middleman, and thus focused the development of the story on the battle of wits between the FBI and the underworld.
Taking Roger as the driving force of the plot makes the story too monolithic and too masculine, so in order to meet the audience's emotional needs for the story, the story adds Kando as a female character, and gives it the same intermediary role as Roger, namely Both the mistress of the gang leader and the FBI agent, after that, the two clues of the two people's emotions and the struggle between the gangster and the FBI are used to promote the development of the plot, which also makes the film develop logically and content. All very natural and rigorous.
There are many reasons why Hitchcock's films are classic and worthy of our study. There are many points that can be scrutinized in the logic of content writing. At the same time, in the setting of clue laying and development, step by step, The careful plot arrangement keeps the story tight and logical, which is one of the qualities that our current films lack.
Tribute to Hitchcock! Homage to a classic.
