[guest recommendation]

Douban score 8.0, rotten tomato 97% freshness, IMDb Top250 ranked # 242. The bold experiment of "one film uses only one lens", which is rare in film history, is also Hitchcock's first color film.

A sentence to describe this film can quote a line from this film: "I have always pursued perfection. I have always wanted to have artistic talent, and murder can also become an art."

the suspense film is eighty minutes long and the whole story takes place in one room. What you feel is real-time every minute. In other words, there is no editing to skip the storytime. Hitchcock had planned to use only one shot to shoot the film. Due to the technical limitations at that time, he finally used ten lenses. This is the first and only attempt to use a continuous shooting operation in the history of the film.

the difficulty of scheduling, in the end, is unimaginable. The suspense effect and tense rhythm that could have been created by montage must be accomplished by the movement of the camera, the director must design the "clip" perfectly in his head in advance, and the actor must move and perform properly.

based on the shooting experience of the 1940s, an hour-and-a-half film usually consists of 6-1000 shots. And Hitchcock used ten shots to make the 80-minute film achieve the following effects-

nervous suspense, the straggling rhythm of time, ambiguous same-sex love, evil apathy of human nature. Perhaps, you can also feel the heart-wrenching ecstasy of the murderer, or the pleasure of God watching human dramas. For appearance control, you can enjoy the performance of James Stewart, who is also the host of "back window" and "Ecstasy". He won the Best Actor Oscar, the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, and the Golden Globe Award for Lifetime Achievement.

[behind the scenes]

this film is adapted from a famous case and is a bold experiment by Hitchcock. Hitchcock is particularly fond of long shots. In "The Soul," he takes long shots to the extreme, with almost no editing, completely breaking the rules of montage, no switching, no front-to-back play, and a shot from beginning to end. There is no room for mistakes in the scene scheduling of the film, such as a stage performance. Hitchcock himself has special feelings for it. Years later, he demanded that the film be destroyed so that the audience could not see the film for up to 20 years.

Approximate a mirror to the extreme of suspense and thrill in a single scene.

I hate Kentucky Fried Chicken

it can be said that "the explosion is not terrible, waiting for the explosion is terrible". In the beginning, let the audience know who the murderer is, and Xi Fat leads the audience by the nose all the way. The first three minutes implied that the two men were gay, beautiful shots, lines worth deliberating, and all kinds of innuendo, which Hitchcock could do in that era.

is extremely wonderful, so we must see it again. It is fun for people to struggle in such a dark and unbalanced way, but how to play competitive intelligence is different from playing for recreation and adding to the peace and reunion of life. Life is to play first, and then say anything else, otherwise, we will not be able to open the situation. Over. This film is too funny.
