摘自Charlie Keil "1913 Movies and the Beginning of a New Era"
race-to-the-rescue
"Earlier treatments tended to highlight the male rescuer's ingenuity or determination, framing the rescue as a test of a man's ability to protect that which belongs to him. Suspense redirects the viewer's attention toward male aggression and female fear, repositioning the rescue an instrument designed to render domestic space safe for its chief inhabitant
"Rather than conveying a sense of speed, these shots offer a rather claustrophobic sense of imminent capture, with the police car often within arm's reach of the pursued vehicle. Tellingly, the emphasis on the mirror relates these shots visually to the bedroom space within its prominently positioned vanity mirror. In its insistence on the shared vulnerability of husband and wife, Suspense downplays heroic to convey the sensation of the threat to the marital bond from an external source."
"Suspense demonstrates how the race to the rescue, though traditionally aligned with the thrills of an action-oriented cinema, could still be employed for other ends, be its lighthearted social critique or the embodiment of psychological stress."

悬念 Suspense (1913):https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ix411U7e7 —— 片中那个开车撞到人的镜头于我而言是个亮点。& 故事联想到今天观看的1909年短片《孤独的别墅》。
丈夫赶回去营救被凶恶流浪汉缠上的独自在家的妻子女主与她的婴儿孩子并最终成功。视听上:钥匙扣构图营造逼仄不安感;后视镜镜头解释丈夫看到后面有人;“最后一分钟营救”的交叉蒙太奇;运用多个三角分屏实现平行/交叉蒙太奇;女主那个俯视流浪汉的主观镜头中流浪汉与她的距离显得不合常理地近,从而营造扭曲的诡谲感。
爆赞!平行剪辑,三重悬念(追逐、猎杀、解救)、三幅分屏、镜像(后视镜)、俯拍、钥匙扣、车撞人特技。
有幸看到了这部短片,很庆幸自己没有错过它。短短10分钟的默片却能拍的如此紧张刺激,很不简单。剧情很简单,主要是其中的表现手法令人印象深刻,一是交叉蒙太奇制造紧张氛围,一是追车时的汽车后视镜通过镜面折射向观众呈现惊悚时刻,一是歹徒逼近镜头的压迫感,还有就是精彩的配乐也起到明显作用
太强了!牛B

赞!
4.5 比起锁眼主观镜头、三角分屏、后照镜镜头,俯视特写最叫我惊叹❗️

丈夫、妻子与流浪汉的三角形三分屏是它所贡献出的技法亮点,一同后视镜镜头等,但作为早期电影短片的它几乎没有叙事可言
虽然是英雄救美的俗套剧情,拍摄上很有想法!
很经典
美国不安全!
在技术上具备里程碑意义的短片,画幅三分法使用同一画面进行三线叙事、交叉剪辑营造悬疑感,钥匙孔—后视镜pov视角等技巧都已颇具现代电影轮廓。
masterpiece!
镜头语言创造力的爆发
极佳,洛伊斯韦伯自导自演,早期的女性导演。其中三处非常有意思,一是从楼上看楼下,正好与闯入者对视,这里用了主观镜头,具有创造性;二是丈夫、妻子、闯入者构成的三角式分屏,两者对话,其中一人割断电话线,同步进行;三是丈夫开车,后面警察追上来是通过后视镜里表达出来的。配乐营造了紧迫感,即使表演过于夸张也无损。
配乐的作用明显
钥匙孔、pov、分屏、后视镜,相当超前
