What Hitchcock contributed to the art of film is definitely not just pure film techniques. Just like the characters in his movies often have multiple personalities, Hitchcock's movie personalities also have multiple personalities. He is a master of suspense, a master of psychology, and a master of philosophy in movies. Few people have such a profound insight into the absurdity of life and the fragility of human nature. Underneath the carefully designed techniques, we see a soul that has been suppressed by a strict Catholic upbringing. Hitchcock's movies are a contradictory unity of life and death, crime and punishment, reason and madness, innocence and temptation, repression and resistance. They are poems that directly address the dark hearts of people. He has been called the "Freud of film."

In this book, Professor Paul Kennedy has begun to use the research methods he later used in his book "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers". He combines historical narrative with strategic analysis to provide an innovative explanation of the rise and fall of British maritime hegemony. He believed that Britain's acquisition of world hegemony not only relied on sea power, but also relied on the combination of sea power and land power. This was the case both in the Elizabethan era and in the Napoleonic era. . He also viewed sea power more rationally, believing that after entering the 20th century, the importance of sea power has begun to decline. Only countries with both land and sea power can become a new generation of hegemonic countries. No country that once held world hegemony can retain its hegemony forever. The sun never sets on an empire that has long since set. But looking back at the ups and downs of British maritime hegemony over more than 400 years may help us gain insight into the accelerated evolution of the current world structure!

Anne Ernault has always pushed the conventional boundaries of which stories are worth telling and which themes are worth exploring. In this book, she sets her sights on big box stores and supermarkets. This is a ubiquitous feature of modern life but one that has received little attention in literature. Ernault spent more than a year documenting her visits to Auchan, a large supermarket chain located in the suburbs of Paris. In her view, the supermarket is "a huge human gathering place, a real cultural landscape." Capital production, cultural production and class stratification converge here and govern our desires. Ernault uses her ruthlessly sharp observation to look at this place that we think we are familiar with, calling on us to explore those daily routines that have been ignored by us, and to peer deeper into ordinary life.

As a thinker and master of postmodernism, Baudrillard did not understand the conceptual United States from documentary materials. He spent his time in the deserts, mountains, highways, Los Angeles, Safeway supermarkets, and depressed towns in the United States instead of the lecture halls of universities. "America" ​​is a cultural criticism of the United States from the perspective of old Europe. Baudrillard expressed his amazing thoughts on the smiles on the faces of Americans everywhere, as well as the popular phenomena such as elections, jogging, break dancing, graffiti, and marathons in the United States. In Baudrillard's eyes, desert culture is the most important feature of American culture, and the vast, pure, uncivilized desert is the backdrop of American cities. America is neither a dream nor reality, it is a hyperreality.
