From the bottom to the first, what has Vertigo experienced?

Vertigo is a suspense film shot by the famous director Hitchcock. The English name of the film is Vertigo, which means dizziness and acrophobia.

This film tells the story of a woman who came back from the dead.

Scott, the hero, is afraid of heights. He had to quit his job as a policeman and become a private detective. One day, he suddenly received a phone call from his long-lost classmate Gavin, asking him to follow his wife Mullen (the heroine). He suspected that Mullen was possessed by a dead soul. Scott disdained the job, but he was fascinated by Mullen and couldn't help but want to get close to her.

Mullen is a bit eccentric, just like her husband said, and often falls into a state of absence. After being saved by scottie in a river jump, they fell in love. Although scottie was always around, Mullen later jumped off the tower of the monastery and died, but scottie couldn't stop her because she was afraid of heights. Scott misses Mullen very much and always wanders around the places where she has been until he finds Judy, a girl who is very similar to Mullen.

Scott found emotional support. He tried desperately to turn Judy into Mullen, and although Judy didn't want to, she cooperated with him. Because she is actually very guilty, only she knows that she is Mullen. Mullen's "jumping off a building" was just a performance to help Gavin hide the truth and kill his real wife. Scott never doubted that Judy was Mullen until he found the red necklace around Judy's neck, which used to be Mullen's jewelry. ...

After the truth came out, scottie's resentment was hard to get rid of. In the process of pulling with Judy, his fear of heights was magically cured. When he finally decided to forgive Judy, Judy accidentally fell to her death.

"Vertigo" inherits Hitchcock's consistent style, with exquisite pictures, dense eerie atmosphere and thrilling, suspenseful and romantic love.

The New Yorker commented that this is the most absurd thing directed by Hitchcock, mainly because the film is unconvincing. If it is a romantic film, maybe no one will say so, but as a suspense film, the defects of the film are really too obvious.

As a policeman for many years, a man who doesn't trust others is the minimum professional accomplishment, but he didn't investigate Gavin's wife and decided that Mullen was his wife just by a meal. But if he checks a little, he will find that Mullen is really another person. In addition, after the man and the woman are together, they have no guilt and inner struggle about the affair (at least for the man). The design of tools is the same as that of human beings. Unfortunately, both male and female masters are handsome and eye-catching. The most incomprehensible thing is that when Mullen jumped off the tower and died, the man left quietly, but when he looked at the crime scene again, he would find that the body was not the face he knew.

If the director wants to highlight the clues of acrophobia, then he can design the plot more completely, such as changing the occupation of the male host to make the film more convincing.

Vertigo was filmed at 1957 and premiered at 1958. As a work in Hitchcock's heyday, Ecstasy suffered the failure of box office and public opinion after its release. In Britain, the director's hometown, of the 28 newspapers and magazines of that year, only 6 held favorable comments with reservations, 9 received mixed comments, and the rest 13 were completely negative; Vanity Fair directly criticized the film for being too long and too slow. Even the director himself admitted that "vertigo" was a failure, and he also pushed the responsibility to other people and departments involved in the film.

The film lasts for 2 hours, and the images of San Francisco landmark buildings occupy a lot of space, such as the Golden Gate Bridge, the American Civil War Fort, Ernie's Restaurant on Montgomery Street, and Podesta Baldocchi, one of the oldest flower shops in the city. Hitchcock likes to use pictures to set off suspense. As he said, "The story is not important to me, what I value is the overall visual impact of the picture", but some viewers don't buy it.

In addition to the hero and heroine, there are also supporting actor Gavin, the murderer, and supporting actress Mickey.

The film devoted quite a lot of space to Mickey. She was the man's original engagement object, but she took the initiative to dissolve the engagement but showed unusual concern for the man. She often wears a mysterious smile, as if planning something; She followed the man to copy the portrait of a woman with important clues and changed her head to herself; When the man was mentally ill, she took good care of him and studied music therapy ... There are indications that Mickey should be more than that, but in the end, her role is only to tell the audience that men love women deeply. As a suspense film, the plot should be more rigorous and make full use of the characters.

Although the film finally explains the ending of the heroine, what is the ending of the real murderer? The film didn't mention a word, which made many viewers hooked up.

Although Vertigo was criticized at its premiere, after Hitchcock's death in 1980, people began to re-evaluate Hitchcock and Vertigo, and found many commendable places from it. Since then, "vertigo" has won a high honor and was rated as Hitchcock's best work.

1982 entered the evaluation list of the famous British film magazine Audiovisual for the first time-the top ten list of audiovisual film history and ranked seventh; After that, its ranking continued to advance, with 1992 ranking fourth, second in 2002 and first in 20 12.

In 2007, the film was also selected as "the best film in a hundred years" by the American Film Association.

"Vertigo" experienced from being criticized to topping the charts, and its fate can be described as ups and downs. With the continuous development of critical research theory, the two characteristics of "ecstasy" have been widely praised. First, the film uses the push-pull and zoom of the camera to produce a strong vertigo effect, such as the typical 360-degree rotating lens and falling lens. Although this technique is very popular now, dizziness is the originator; Secondly, the mystery of the film lies in the criminal process that flashed in Judy's mind before she died. This style of saving, reversing and decrypting until the last moment has aroused the appetite of the audience.

The style of vertigo has influenced many filmmakers and is still imitated by later generations. Brian De Palma's Vertigo and paul verhoeven's Instinct are both works that pay tribute to Vertigo.

Judy's flashback to crime is the crowning touch of this film. This part was originally deleted by Hitchcock, but the screenwriter insisted on adding it. Hitchcock remake this part. Unexpectedly, it was well received later, which was also Hitchcock's unintentional move.

There is a scene in which the heroine falls into the water, which actually meets the requirements at the first time. But Hitchcock asked the heroine to jump a few times out of the mood of "punishing the bad guys", perhaps because of his "love for blondes".

As a master of suspense films, Hitchcock's contribution is beyond doubt, but can "Vertigo" really surpass "Rear Window" and "North by Northwest" as his most representative works? From the point of view of an ordinary audience like me, it is not.
