Features: What is suspense? The famous suspense master Alfred Hitchcock once gave a very interesting definition of suspense. For example, when depicting a group of people playing a game around a table, a sudden explosion occurs in the middle. This would only create a dull scene of shock after the explosion. However, suspense can be said to be different—even though we are depicting the same scene, if we let the audience or readers know in advance that there is a timed bomb under the table before they start playing, this creates suspense and grips the audience or readers. The world-renowned suspense master, the epitome of suspense and thriller, the Freud of the film industry, eerie plots, suffocating tension, and unprecedented visual experience. The greatest uniqueness of Alfred Hitchcock as the "master of suspense" lies in the fact that he always informs his audience of the danger at the very beginning of his works. Moreover, Hitchcock's name guarantees that you will always be in the climax. In Hitchcock's works, life is never ordinary or tranquil! This is the unique aspect of Hitchcock's suspense! Alfred Hitchcock is the world-renowned "master of suspense" and one of the most outstanding film artists of the modern era. He directed and produced over 50 feature films and more than 300 television episodes in his lifetime.
