Playing ghetto music with the stupid tik toc bs, and talking about hitchcock is like using a corn cob for toilet paper. Hitchcock used intelligent, musicians, not this stupid ghetto digital crap.

I absolutely love Vertigo. The musical score by Bernard Hermann is otherworldly. I was confused by the film at first but when I thought of it as a voyage into the spirit world, it made much more sense. I see Scotty actually falling to his death from the gutter and/or his fingers letting go just like the police officer. So, every person in the film is also “dead”, but their spirits are in some way struggling with their own passing. Or, they are spirit guides. Watch how Kim Novak floats into the restaurant. Or how spirits show themselves and disappear. That’s why I think it’s a genius piece of art. I’m still haunted by it.

I don't like your hats!

Yep its a Wonderful movie.....There is a lot to enjoy here. Its not a perfect movie (even though the soundtrack IS). But i love the feeling on how this mystery gradually unfolds. Its like you're being led into all this step by step not knowing whats going on, almost in the same way as Jimmys Stewart' character. And on that note. The negative criticism on Scottie puzzle' me considering Judy (and Gavin) ruined Scotties life. They used him to comit a murder, taken advantage of his illness. He was set-up from the very beginning so he could watch a "suicide" take place. Hence his emotional breakdown for almost a year. Judy and Gavin destroyed an ordinary guy who did no harm to anyone. Too bad Gavin got away though. Bottom line Vertigo grows on you....hence why I'm actually thinking about watching it again today ; ) Jimmy said this about his role in Vertigo; Its a part of the craft, that if you do something entirely different from the image you've created, this is a part of the business, that isn't something to give explanations for and so on. In a way I think its part of an actors duty to learn ways to project different types of characters. Its a part of being a professional actor.

I was annoyed by the mother’s performance. I liked the waitress in the place Uncle Charlie pulled his niece into.

What you guys consider ‘bad’ covers, I consider really cool…I guess I just enjoy corny pulp things.

Writers wanna be butchering a masterpiece. Apple has almost endless possibilities to screen Asimov with his many novels that have stood the test of time. Nevertheless, they decided to disgust Asimov to new generations. Bravo

Cuz Hitchcock knows how to make'm entertaining...😁

He is truly one of the greatest of all time! I believe he made more masterpieces than any other director...

I've been to the house on stilts on Mulholland Drive

My favorite movie

No doubt in my mind that this is Hitchcock's finest film. (Yes, I have seen almost all of the others.) Was disappointed that you failed to mention the biggest star of this movie, Santa Rosa, CA. Beautiful, unchanged from the 1920s, unaffected by World War II, a place I would go to immediately if I had a time machine.

The most emotionally involving movie. One feels for young Charlie's disillusionment but she still manages to do something about it. She doesn't exercise justice but she does face the situation out. She's a victim and yet not a victim - like most of us.

You haven't seen a video game in a while as it's pretty common to have limited ammo in a weapon and have to reload for like 25 years. Games are actually far more realistic in this than movies.

Shadow of a Doubt. Murder in a comfortable small town setting that brought the audience uncomfortably close the killer, and parlayed with some gallows humor. My absolute favorite Hitchcock film.

NOBODY ever brings up the obvious and rather shocking fact that if Uncle Charlie left town as his niece has planned (to spare her family) that she would have been an accessory to murder. As a matter of fact right there on the train at the end he's getting widow Mrs. Potter in his sights for murder number 4.

I was looking for some commentary on Hitchcock. I don't care about your stupid VCR nor what you did as a child. In fact, did you ever grow up. Their are many reasons to enjoy Hitch. Like great Art in the Louvre you have to be educated. First off- your a pretty ignorant of film. Just saying-73 Film Historian here. Next time try not be so vapid and dumbed down. We don't care about YOU we care about the artist-Hitchcock.

Hitchcock is my favourite director and Vertigo my favourite film of his. I agree with you that the Hays code actually benefited his movies. Tarantino is not the sort of director that would improve with resrictions, but the murder scene in Psycho is so much more effective than the one in Frenzy precisely because we don't see anything and its all left to the imagination

I saw this movie on opening day in 1986 mainly because of George Lucas and Lea Thompson. I heard that this movie was originally was supposed to be animated, but universal studios demanded a live action movie for summer release.

TIMING..It is all in Hitch`s timing. As a matter of fact, if we want to discuss his legacy let us consider that directors like Mike Nichols used to `time` his own films to get in sync with Hitchcock. And of course the homage in `Virginia Woolf` Mike`s first I believe film. Course it could be Albee`s homage to Hitch as I think it is also in the play. The Gun Dropping a Flag with the word BANG written on it. Echoes of the gun going off `Northwest` and the boy putting his hands over his ears BEFORE the gun goes off. Sandra Shevey conducted the Master`s last one to one in Hollywood 1972. Not only is it the last one to one the director ever gave but in this interview Sandra Shevey confronts Hitchcock with antifeminist tropes which most writers, male or famale, feminist or masculist, tend to avoid. Shevey lives in London where for the past 25 years she has been running a homage Hitchcock tour. www.alfredhitchcockwalk.wordpress.com Book: [email protected] Ck out sandrasheveyinterviews KZbin (Alfred Hitchcock)

Vertigo is my favorite; I watch it at least once a year !

I watched the first episode and gave up. I came back later to give it a second try. Watched the second episode and gave up. It's pretty but dull and doesn't offer the big-idea thinky-ness that I love in my sci fi. One of Asimov's best known lines is, "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." In fact, it's a line that comes from Foundation. I like Asimov's stories because they're written more like mysteries than action stories. It's about gathering information and out thinking your opponent. More Sherlock Holmes. Less John Rambo. Also, the threat to the Galactic Empire was an impersonal one that wasn't easily confronted. It was bureaucracy, loss of innovation, slow decline, nostalgic obsession with past glory, and a misplaced belief that the solution to new problems was something to be found in the past. It wasn't something as personal and limited as hereditary rulers. One palace murder plot (like the hundreds that have taken place throughout history) and that problem's solved. Apple TV gave us the same Foundation series we would have gotten if they'd hired Zach Snyder. Pretty pictures, lots of sadistic violence, big departures from the source material, and a story that makes no sense.

Question: What do you think of Shadow of a Doubt? It’s probably my favorite 🎥

I read the first 2 Shatnerverse novels. The Shatnerverse is nuts.

Just saw the pilot episode after big brother this past Sunday and I am hooked on the TV show. Just checked out your video to see if needed to head to the library.

There are but a handful of movies that are as entertaining now as they were when originally released. This is primarily due to changing tastes and evolving standards of morality. In essence, movies don't age so much as the world around them grows up. For the most part, Hitchcock's movies avoided this fate because they do not focus on the story, the setting, the action, or even the characters. They focus on the inner workings of the human mind. More precisely, they take you to the mind's darkest places. This is an area we are all familiar with but seldom admit to. Yet, because it is so foreboding, it is fascinating to peer in. With the added bonus of giving us greater insight into our own demons.

I like the old numbered books. It was back before they had too much canon to work around, and therefore I believe allowed more creativity.

when you said that it doesn’t have a good rotten tomatoes score..i immediately thought that whoever gave this movie a low rating score does not know what great movies are and should not rate movies ever again

This was a great and interesting analysis of Hitchcock's movies. Thank you.

I don’t agree with your analogy at all! Revealing the true nature of uncle Charlie early on added to the suspense of how the girl Charlie was going to handle him and keep him from killing her as well, as keeping the information from her mother. The dialogue between her father, and the friend about discovering murders, added to the flavor and the suspense of the movie! I believe this was one of Hitchcock best movies ever! I’m 78 years old, and I have seen them all! Way to go Hitch!

Voglio vedere SOLO il film!!

It's a beautiful, fantastic film!

Hitchcock started during the silent era and I think this relates to point #2.

I would give it like a 6.5/10, I don't think Stallone works as the Danny Glover kind of character in this partnership, Glover had the perfect look to play the family man that goes by the book and dresses like a banker, but Stallone just looked weird. I could've lived without the sister. The one liners and comedy are a mixed bag. Kurt Russell is perfectly cast as the crazy cop that breaks all the rules and he's the main reason why I like the movie.

I seen this movie but don’t remember all the movie however the uncle had his dirty secrets and perhaps a killer 😮😮

I loved his TV show. He was always making fun of "the sponsors" when it was time to go to the first commercial break. And at the end, he'd have some witty or twisted take or epilogue for the story. So fun.

There's actually no music in Dracula. It is famous for having NO Soundtrack. The only use of music is during the opening credits and then it uses the classical musical piece "Swan Lake" by Tchaikovsky. You should have used the example of later Universal horror films instead. Otherwise, you are quite right. Alfred Hitchcock was a master, and it was nice of you to point out Tarantino's mistake as well. Quentin Tarantino is extremely overrated as a director.

George Lucas did give Disney an outline for the sequel trilogy, and it could've worked but Disney threw his ideas away and they did their own BS. It still amazes me that they had no plan and we didn't get one damn scene with Mark, Harrison and Carrie together. I'll never rewatch the sequel trilogy again and will try to forget about it.

I'm not really a great fan of Hitchcock for the reason that I find him what I would call a "Surface director." His films don't go deep, except for "Vertigo." But I do like all of his films and watch them all as he is the maser of suspense. Some of his films IMO suffer from not the best scripts e.g."Vertigo" got too convoluted I think. He lost what might have been any spontaneity because of rewrites because he couldn't find a screenwriter to fulfill his vision for it ( so I read. ) But it's got its own unique appeal. I think the film might have benefited from a little more of what "The Three faces Of Eve" has got ( although Two Faces in Kim Novak's case! ) One I like possibly better than all the others is "Jamaica Inn" but he had magnificent Charles Laughton ( but most don't agree with me so..? ) I thought "Rear Window" was shot in a manner that was too shallow but "The Birds" maintains its fascination although even there I thought the characterization could have gone a little deeper about the mother complex hinted at in Rod Taylor. But that's just my taste. He had his vision, as you have pointed out. "Psycho" is a bit the same - sort of "surface " all the way except the coda but it's interesting for me because Vera Miles is my favorite actress. Very enjoyable listening to you and how you see Alfred Hitchcock. I like "The Wrong Man" not only because it is one of Vera's best performances Hitchcock got out of her but the law side is interesting and I like the B&W aspect. I read where Hitchcock said he was influenced by two films - "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" ( think it was 1953? ) and "Portrait of Jennie" ( 1948 ) re the Carlotta part in "Vertigo." If that's true I think a better sense of mystery in the texture of the film would have helped in parts. It was too concrete for me. Thanks. "Strangers On A train" was getting into the deep realm of the mind. That's one of his best for me.Best Wishes. Stimulating listening and watching your video.

Politics? No. I call bullshit. My household is extremely left, yet we HATED this garbage of a show.

Haha! the mystery shouldn't be 'who cares?'

I like "The Wrong Man" better for the reasons you say about this one. I know Hitchcock didn't like "The wrong Man." Interesting video. Thanks.

Great movie, the first two were awesome but 3 really knocks out of the park. excellent review mate!!!

Hitchcock best creative topeka was definitely the 1940s films. granted his 1950s movies were great too but depended more on gimmicks then intense storylines, atmospheric cinematography and memorable characters.

L'un des plus captivants film a suspens psychologique d'Hitchcock. A l'image de la séquence finale, de celle du restaurant ou.........dans la bibliothèque, ce sont des scènes inoubliables qui démontrent la maîtrise du maître.......du suspens !

Love this series... It combines some of my favorite genres, sci-fi, thrillers, and romance.

Great video mate. You got my sub. Look forward to the next one. Take care. And take it easy bro :)

"I'm getting to old for this S***" :D

You have beautifully summarized why this movie is a peerless work of art. The cinematography, framing, score, and story are collectively haunting and mesmerizing. Like all great tragedies, it lingers in the mind and provokes reflection and analysis. I will direct newbies and skeptics to your video!
