hitchcock

All three Hitchcock movies we watched in class were all pretty good, except the 39 steps. I didn't like that it was in black and white and the whole plot kind of bored me. Rear Window was really boring in the beginning but when you start to fall asleep then BAM the action starts and it get pretty suspenseful and shady. Vertigo was also really good until you get really into it and the end comes along, then it just makes you super frustrated. When Madeleine "falls" out of the window to her death? She was like literally five feet from the edge. It was for sure a run and jump. The filming was really bad behind that one. Unless, it was trying to leave the ending to interpretation. Then it did a really good job, because I really think it was a run and jump and Mr. Klobuchar seems to disagree. Hitchcock uses many different elements that makes him different from other directors. For example; how he always uses a blonde woman that a middle aged man falls in love with...how he appears in his movies...how the man makes the woman change: like in vertigo he recreates Judy back into Madeleine and in rear window the woman changes into a more "manly" woman. I think he's a very good director and does a good job at creating movies that no other movies are like.
