Vertigo (10/11) Movie CLIP - Judy Becomes Madeleine (1958) HD

[@takakhan-z3w]

So much going on psychologically in this scene. Scottie's realization at seeing Judy as Madeleine that he can suddenly have everything back that he's lost, Judy's reluctance to revert back to Madeleine that evaporates as soon as she sees that she finally has his love at the end of the scene, Hermann's sweeping track, the ghostly way that Madeleine emerges out of the green light of the sign as she "comes back from the dead"... I genuinely think this is one of the all-time greatest moments in movie history.

[@damienx0x]

You're right.

[@DHGlee2013]

It's right up there next to the famous shower scene. I got goosebumps as a kid when I watched this. At that time I had no idea Kim Novak was both. And this scene came and I didn't know what else to expect.

[@stupor_mundi]

I had never thought something so twisted could be so romantic. Judy's price for her deception was losing all traces of her real self to keep the man she loved, and while it was selfish of him to demand such changes he was blinded by grief trying to recreate the woman he loved... who we find never really existed. I think Shakespeare would love the distortion and irony in this tragedy, how both were so invested in living a lie, for love, and in the end everything collapses like a castle of cards and it's not made clear if he finally feels free or is even more broken.

One of my favourite movies, love the chemistry between James Stewart and Kim Novak. I recently read that Hitchcock wanted Cary Grant to play Scotty, but he wasn't available. When 'Vertigo' wasn't the box office smash Hitchcock was expecting it to be, he blamed James Stewart, saying he looked too old to be Kim Novak's leading man and that Cary Grant would have been much better - ironic as Cary Grant is actually a few years older than James Stewart! However ultimately Hitchcock was wrong as 'Vertigo' has stood the test of time, as has James Stewart's wonderful performance. This movie consistently pops up in every Top Ten of the best movies ever made.

[@arckocsog253]

It would have been better with Grant. He is much better looking and has more charisma.

[@glamdolly30]

+Arc Kocsog Interesting opinion. I'm a big fan of Cary Grant, he could have done this role with his eyes shut. But I feel perhaps he would have been too suave and self assured to really convince as the vertigo-stricken, love struck and slightly vulnerable Scotty. I think Jimmy Stewart gave a great performance in this movie. I guess it's just a matter of personal preference - both were fantastic actors!

It's highly unusual isn't it? And it works incredibly well. I just rewatched Hitchcock's To Catch A Thief. The cat burglar scenes in there are all green silhouettes - an effect the probably achieved in-camera since it was a Technicolor camera. But that's 1951 and i wonder if he was thinking back to that color effect when he lit this green-saturated scene in Vertigo. It's very possible ... Hitchcock's leading ladies really did get quite the cinematic treatment. There are so many shots which give us these intensified almost obsessive studies of them, often coupled with a pause in dialogue and heightened music - like here. Hitchcock wants us to stare and be stunned by them. It almost works on me and I'm not even attracted to women! :) Always the master

This is NOT a movie about fear of heights or dizziness or some convoluted murder plot. It's a movie about obsession and how people try to make the object of their "love" conform to a fantasy and how desperately some people will sublimate themselves in because of a lack of self esteem to please a lover in order not to lose or be alone. This is the saddest deepest movie ever made about the human condition of desire vrs reality and desire to please and obtain affection despite the cost to our souls.

[@JOEYdaMUSH]

rafi katz Hitchcock brilliantly uses the green neon signs to portray Judy as a ghostly fog which of course is what Scotty has been in love, and also fixated on after he thought she died, a ghost. First he fell in love with the ghost of Carlotta whom he thought made Madeline so very unique and mysterious and dependent on Scotty to protect her and later the ghost of Madeline herself.

It has a haunting dreamlike quality that is timeless and reminds me of some of Buñuel's greatest films such as "Belle de jour", "That Obscure Object of Desire", and others (I think there are also similarities with some of Bergman's films such as "Wild Strawberries")…the score is magnificent and is one of its most notable assets…the more I see "Vertigo", the more I am convinced it is the most complex, most multi-layered, most profound of any of Hitchcock's works…I think his art reached its culmination with this film.

The line between fantasy and reality is finally blurred. This film is a spellbinding glimpse into the dangers of getting hung up on the idea of a person, rather than their true self, and serves as a great cautionary tale for women, against allowing a man to project his fantasies onto you. Scottie doesn’t want Madeleine back because of her personality. He is not a grieving widower who misses his love’s sense of humor, or the way she spoke her mind, or the way she made him feel at ease. Madeleine possesses none of those qualities; in fact besides her fears of the dead, Scottie literally knows nothing about her, and has no way of knowing if she possesses any of those traits. Her behavior is so suspicious that any rational person would’ve immediately recognized that she was a fraud. But Scottie has been blinded by her beauty and her mystery. It was because he knew nothing about her that he became obsessed; his lack of knowledge has enabled him to fool himself into believing she was his perfect match. All he misses, and wants returned to him, is that woman with platinum blonde hair in the gray suit. That image is what he wants. He does not want the person. The thing he desires is so superficial, so unreal, because she was never a real person. She was always a fraud, always an illusion within his mind. The real woman is more than willing to be his life partner but he cannot see that. He doesn’t want reality. He wants the dream. A dream that she shares in her equally-powerful obsession with him, and the dream finally envelops them with a circular spin of the camera. Just brilliant filmmaking.
