「我離港前到過一間精神科醫院。當時有位病人禮貌地問,一個以作為世上最悠久民主政體而自傲的國家,如何能夠將此地交給一個政治制度非常不同的國家,且既沒諮詢當地公民,又沒給予他們民主的前景,好讓他們捍衞自己的將來。一個隨行同事說,奇怪,香港提出最理智問題的人,竟在精神科醫院。」彭定康 金融時報

“During a visit to a mental hospital before I left Hong Kong, a patient politely asked me how a country that prided itself on being the oldest democracy in the world had come to be handing over his city to another country with a very different system of government, without either consulting the citizens or giving them the prospect of democracy to safeguard their future. Strange, said one of my aides, that the man with the sanest question in Hong Kong is in a mental hospital.”Chris Patten Financial Times

後窗 Rear Window (1954)

後窗 Rear Window (1954)



上網找北美洲最新電影排行榜﹐發覺一部 Disturbia ﹐連續兩星期第一名, 細看簡介故事內容﹐跟【緊張大師】希治閣大有名的懸疑片【後窗】大致相同﹐算是導演向希翁致敬。
Film review: Disturbia , Trailers:Disturbia


Rear Window
is a motion picture directed by Alfred Hitchcock, based on Cornell Woolrich's short story "It Had to Be Murder" (1942) . It is considered by many filmgoers, critics and scholars to be one of Hitchcock's best and most thrilling pictures.


Directed by
Alfred Hitchcock

James Stewart as "Jeff" Jefferies

Grace Kelly as Lisa Carol Fremont





Rear Window IMDB site


Story:

L.B. "Jeff" Jefferies (
James Stewart) is a professional photographer who has been confined to his apartment after an accident has left him with his leg in a cast. Suffering from boredom, he takes to spying on his neighbors through the rear window.


His view of the back of several apartment buildings, their inner courtyard, and the persons dwelling within at first have a strongly
Norman Rockwell feel about them.


Over time, however, Jeff comes to believe that a murder has taken place in the building across the courtyard, though his friends, his nurse Stella , and his girlfriend, Lisa Carol Fremont (Grace Kelly) initially think his beliefs are imagined due to his idle behavior.


Almost the entire movie is filmed from inside Jeff's bedroom, and most of the point of view shots (POV) are Jeff's. However, at key points in the movie this rule is broken (usually as a dual or triple POV shot, but also the single POV shots of Doyle, Stella, and Lisa).


Furthermore, there is at least one moment when the viewer sees something while Jeff is asleep, and in two key sequences, characters are seen from angles not possible from Jeff's window. This trend increases throughout the film until the final sequence, when Jefferies' POV is nearly subverted.


The character of Lars Thorwald (
Raymond Burr) is not seen in close-up and cannot be heard speaking clearly until the climax of the movie. At this point, he appears in Jeff's room. This scene features a sequence shown from Thorwald's point of view as he attempts to proceed towards Jeff, but is repeatedly stopped as Jeff blinds him with his camera flash.




故事:
名攝影記者意外受傷﹐要留在家中養傷﹐無聊中用望遠鏡﹐觀看後窗景致﹐無意中給他發覺了一件﹐似是謀殺案發生了﹐在他的女友協助下搜查殺人證句﹐她的女友更深入虎穴﹐結果會是怎樣呢?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


事很簡單﹐但【緊張大師】希治閣~~希翁的絕頂導演手法﹐帶領著觀眾一步一步﹐進入角色﹐把自己代入了戲裡面﹐一次又一次﹐化險為夷﹐緊張刺激﹐觀眾情緒被希翁牽動著走﹐一步一驚心 ............... 最後希翁把謎底拆穿!


曾說過豉油皇炒麵﹐最考師傅﹐因為佢實在太簡單。同樣簡單的故事﹐就要考導演的功力了!

That's a good one :)
And it's so true with Alfred Hitchcock's master work.

微豆兄:是呀!最簡單的就難度最高,因為沒有其他可以掩飾。

我也曾用“豉油王炒麵”來做話題寫博:『是很十二分考師傅的﹐乾濕適中﹐唔覺有油﹐有嚼頭﹐不太鹹﹐不太淡﹐有芽菜﹐蔥花﹐和蛋絲。。。。。。有人話叫豉油皇炒麵﹐是要考師傅的段數﹐而且不在菜牌之上﹐我們是明串了君悅的廚房師傅。。。。。。』


我的舊文:麵是要這樣煮的!,有些有關於豉油王炒麵。
