      I only just saw it over the weekend and loved it. I began reading up on it and was shocked to discover that Hitchcock and Stewart both considered it an awful movie. Hitchcock called it an "experiment that didn't work" and Stewart felt in hindsight that he was wrong for his role.

    I have watched this movie several times.
    I use to want them to escape somehow and not get caught.
    But I watched it recently and thought they deserved to get life or death penalty. Their "reasoning" for killing is so wrong and very cold hearted.
    And the bit that really gets me is when the father is in conversation saying how their son is their only child. My heart just felt so sad for him and his sick wife as they would be devastated. And I was thinking it could even destroy the mother to the point that her health declines even more because of the grief and she would die leaving the father to be a widow.
    Philip and Brandon were heartless and didn't think of anyone other than themselves and their awful experiment. They didn't give a thought about the family members who would be broken hearted and filled with grief. They were selfish and Brandon is a narc and has such an ego.
    I'm glad it ends the way it does.
    I like that last scene, it is so good. The camera pulls back and you see each of them doing their thing, with Rupert just drained from the whole event after firing the gun.
    The sirens going off, the flashing of the neon lights. Philip still sitting at the piano looking stunned, he's realizing he's going to die and Brandon just being nonchalent having a drink. It's a great ending.

      The premise of the plot is very silly. Other than as an intellectual and moral experiment no motive was established.

    The film is done in "one take" but a reel of 35mm film was 10 minutes long. When he opens the chest and the screen is dark, it's disguising a reel change.

    Well, aside from the drama school acting, the supposed reaction to a couple of gunshots up to and including police car sirens was totally implausible.

    • @girliboi
      @girliboi ปีที่แล้ว +4

      eh.. . i don't react to everything that sounds like a gunshot in the city, but no doubt i'd call police if i heard gunshots in the apartment right above/below/next to mine.. . true the immediate timing of the sirens may be implausible, but not entirely impossible, and a good director isn't going to drag out the dramatic ending of a film for an extra 3 minutes just based on the law of averages.
