Hitchcock, straight up dude...

So it's been said many times before that Hitchcock was the master of cinema, and having seen probably about 19 of his films, i really can't help but agree. I think what gave him the proverbial edge in his directing style was not that he told wonderful suspense stories, but the fact that he could psychologically trap his viewers into his movies. he shot scenes with such deliberacy that other directors have nothing but sheer praise for the man, and often include homages to him in their own movies. I have a new "before I die" goal: To plan and shoot a short film setting up plot elements and scenes with the same psychological reasoning as Hitchcock.




I mean sure you could watch this thing the whole way through, but the general point is that Hitchcock did something very few directors do in the same style he did and that was to create techniques which subconsciously affected his audience, whether they hated or loved the movie, he was able to capture them and take them through a unique sense of urgency and ultimately play into his darker sense of humor.

Nothing but love for you homie.
