00:09One of the most famous tennis scenes in the history of cinema
00:12does not come from any tennis movie.
00:14It appears in a thriller released in 1951, Strangers on a Train.
00:19This is a film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense.
00:23But what really interests us is the tennis scene and how it was made.
00:27During the tennis match, the camera shows the spectators in the stands.
00:32The ball goes left and everyone turns their head to the left.
00:34The ball goes back to the right and everyone turns their head to the right.
00:38But Hitchcock shows us something much stranger.
00:41There is only one man who remains completely still.
00:44He never follows the ball, he doesn't move, he simply stares at the course.
00:48There is no dialogue, there is no music.
00:50Our gaze is simply drawn to this man.
00:53And we understand that this man, well, he represents a real danger.
00:58Let me know in the comments if you were familiar with this film, and most importantly, subscribe!
