Its finals week here at GFU and instead of study I watched a movie...and ill be posting about movies I watch and what I think about them. The first section will not tell details so that one can go watch the movie, but the second part will have spoilers just and fyi for further posts.
I have been really getting into Alfred Hitchcock films, I really liked the Birds when I saw that and still do, so I started to watch some more of his films. Today I watched one called Vertigo, it tells the story of a retired policeman who falls in love with a mysterious woman he has been hired to follow. I think that it was a great movie for sure, lots of twists and things you think are about to happen and things you think will happen don't. CHECK IT OUT
(spoiler area)
I thought at first that it was a little bit drawn out, there were times of him driving around that seemed as if they could have been cut out of the movie, like ok i get what he is doing lets move on. And after the first ending i thought they were going to try and stretch out the rest of his life, but there is a pretty good twist and i really did like it. Not super crazy about the very last scene and how it leaves you but i think that was something that made it interesting, because everyone wants to leave on the upbeat note and not the downbeat. I guess in the original air there is another scene that shows him back with his somewhat earlier girlfriend, and they are happy because the husband was caught in London. But I think someone in London made him take it out of the movie...don't really know why.
Overall I liked the movie and it was really a good thriller of its time, and I don't see why we need such special effects to make great movies when these guys were doing it old school. But I would like to have seen him and that crazy mind today and seen what he would have came up with.
