This shot is from Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train film where Bruno Antony, on the right, meets Guy Haines, on the left, on a train in the beginning of the film. The conversation between them is quite awkward as Bruno is doing majority of the talking and seems to know everything about Guy’s life including information about his wife and his affair with Anne Morton. Guy seems to be in a stage of shock that Bruno knows all his personal information and seems furious that Bruno keeps talking despite Guy giving the signal to stop by saying “perhaps you read too much” which gives the idea that Bruno somehow traps Guy. An audience might feel disturbed and uncomfortable after seeing a stranger know so much information about another person’s life.
