According to me, the model of "the classic cinema" is respected in the
movie Strangers On a Train. The movie starts on a train, where we are
introduced to the two main characters, having a conversation. The
subject of the conversation is basically the most important part of the
setup. By listening to them, we could predict the direction that the story
was going towards. Throughout the rest of the introduction, we are
introduced to the rest of the important characters. The first plot point, as
expected, takes place when Bruno murders the protagonist's wife. After
doing so, he expects the protagonist to do his part of the plan, who
refuses Bruno's offer because they never had planned it. The
protagonist's identity is threatened because he's accused of a crime
which he never committed. We could also see the presence of oedipus
complex: Bruno's hatred towards his father since his childhood.

object of the protagonist's and the camera's look was usually women.
When Bruno was committing the murder, we could see only her (the
victim) and the reflecting light on her glasses. Also by the time when
Bruno was demonstrating how to strangle by remembering his murder,
the eyes of the camera were on another woman who looked exactly like


his victim. After the second plot point took place, the events that occurred
led the story back to normal. The questions that I asked to myself:
How is the problem to be solved? What will happen next? Is he going to
make it? made the movie exciting. The unrevealed answers made me
think and worry. Anxiety in this case was pleasure.
