Is there anyone who did more to develop the language of film than Hitchcock?

[@nightowl8477]

Wright with comedic language? The punchline of his jokes are often a whip-pan or a cut rather than a line.

[@logan1867]

The cinematic genius that is Tommy Wiseau, the man is a genius in every sense of the word.

[@elasticharmony]

If you mean precisely development no.

[@leno__jeno]

@@bniharsaiasheesh3023 *Spoilers* To make the seem more similar. For the same reason, they also have same names. This brings them closer to each other and makes it even more traumatizing later when little Charlie has to separate from him and dislike him.

[@hugohenriquepascoal]

I LOVE HIM

[@BugVlogs]

Hitchcock was one of the all time greatest geniuses of cinema

[@martin2893]

@REGGIE JOHNSON Do you live under rock? Scorsese has been giving masterpieces for nearly six decades

[@Fanfanbalibar]

No resemblance, different worlds@@martin2893

[@nightowl8477]

Strangers on a Train! One of my all-time favourites.

[@nightowl8477]

Brilliant analysis, didn't know there was any more for me to learn about Hitchcock.

[@alextttttt]

Great video. Little addendum on repetition in Psycho: in a span of 25 mins, Lila + Norman + Arbogast all enter the house, pause, look in 3 directions, and then make a decision about where to go.

[@nathandensley9104]

No one talks about that Shadow of a Doubt moment! It's one of my favourite of all time.

[@elichilton7031]

Its a tapestry really. Where on one hand you have Hitchcock, on the other, you have John Ford, F.W. Murnau, or Jean Renoir. Each making their own contribution to cinema. Yes, Hitch did a lot to develop it, but there are definitely others who help create, what we now know as cinematic language.

[@KetoKrime]

We Should all Admit That Hitchcock was one of the unequaled most noteworthy virtuosos of the Cinema

[@AardvarkDK]

@REGGIE JOHNSON It's definitely not someone from a non-English speaking country. Because those guys suck.

[@AardvarkDK]

@REGGIE JOHNSON It was sarcasm, mate. :P It really bothered me that you would think that the four greatest directors are all English-speaking.

[@deadenbyel]

I love this video, I hadn’t noticed some of these notes before.

[@leewilson77]

He was so great! When asked by Dick Cavett who Hitchcock thought was the greatest director of all time, Hitchcock said..."Walt Disney!" Hitchcock said he has no equal. The audience erupted with applause for both men and especially Disney. God bless them both.

[@landofthesilverpath5823]

So true! Really shows how much he knew about film and it goes to show his unpretentiousness about his own skill to be able to admit that Disney was a great innovator. Few other filmakers would admit that a maker of "children's cartoons," was indeed a master of the craft.

[@trentonkraczek]

Your stuff is always great. Thank you for the time, thought and passion you put into talking about film.

[@BudaPetermann]

One of the Greatest of all time!

[@MitchelSimpson17]

why couldn't this video have come out when I was studying Hitchcock in college

[@benschmitt7035]

taking a class on hitchcock right now! Glad I stumbled onto it :)

[@saiganesh7944]

Wow ...your video amused me a lot ...Learnt a lot about cinematic language

[@ericdavidwallace]

Very informative and well done. Love the accent. thank you !

[@Sirrajj]

I got ad of Netflix in a video which is sponsored by MUBI, ironic !?

[@denisefreitas6727]

Great video, i like it very much.

[@alejoparedes2388]

This is one of the best videos on Hitchcock in all of KZbin!

[@dawghousetv]

Check out ours!

[@elasticharmony]

I finally made it and know MUBI is a play on words!

[@julius-stark]

Spot on.

[@danextra858]

Great video.

[@duhduh666]

You can watch his films with the volume on zero and still follow the cinematic language

[@betaniamartins2904]

Que vídeo maravilhoso

[@trnygbl23]

Great video and analysis! I wish you chose a different background music though. It was really distracting.

[@loveforeignaccents]

Great topic/video, very interesting breakdown/analysis, and love your sexy accent as well!

[@uncomfortablecat]

Have you ever considered talking about Monty Python or Mel Brooks films?

[@timsopinion]

First comment. So excited to watch this :)

[@Casper50002]

I love Psycho . What filmmaking. Creepy 4:08 !

[@debbieking5171]

Master of Suspense nothing more to be said.

[@elstcman5]

Amazing video but WHAT is the movie that the clip of The Rock is from? It’s next to La Haine and I cannot find it for the life of me

[@TheDiscardedImage]

Southland Tales I think

[@tadjani5191]

Honestly, you don't need the near constant background music, it just distracts from what you are trying to communicate.

[@Drezzedtokill1]

VERY Brian de Palma … we all get inspiration from our idols

[@reidasplataformas9397]

A cena do carrossel de Pacto Sinistro ❤️

[@VKDOP-u9e]

Who noticed Irfan khan in end?

[@TrumpCardMAGA]

What's my favorite thing to do after watching two ads before the start of the video? Well it's to hear a ad from the video creator immediately after. Boy oh boy do I love being sold to...

[@Alan_Wigz]

What would be your solution for the video creator to get paid then, so that we can rid the world of advertisements and sponsors?

[@hans5500]

Well you’re watching a KZbin content essay what do you expect. Don’t disappoint yourself w high expectations go read academic journals not being rude just what I do Bc it’s annoying and video essays are not credible enough for me in any genre

[@yahyajean]

The background music is a bit too loud and does not really match the topic.

[@MPHORROCKS]

Very interesting, but the irritating/distracting 'cool music is unnecessary. ;)

[@TheWholeEquation]

Good job! My channel made a similar video recently.

[@robertjewell9727]

Nice overview (with the exception of that godawful background music).
