Vertigo
I finally got around to watching alfred hitchcocks VERTIGO. One sentence to summarize: "never seen anything like it".
No seriously, this movie is so different that it makes u wonder how, in the 50+ years that have passed since its release, it can maintain its difference! i mean great movies like the graduate have seen their influences been highlighted in many hollywood movies, but vertigo stands out on its own. very very different.
I love james stewart. He always plays good guys roles and i always love him in them. But the 2nd part of vertigo just shows you how versatile an actor he was. Also the music in this movie seems to never stop, with almost 80% of the movie having some sort of music playing in the background. Its so good that sometimes it scares you way more than current hollywood horror movies and at othertimes elates you way more than current hollywood romances. The movie has something for everyone, go through the first part to understand the 2nd part, go through the 2nd part for sheer entertainment genius. Makes me want to repeat something i keep telling everybody.....
"they just dont make 'em like they used to"
they make them well now and sometimes brilliantly, but they just dont make them the same way they used to. Alfred hitchcock is a genius, he can stand in front of god on the day of judgement and say "god, i gave the world psycho, rear window and vertigo" and god will accept this and send him to heaven (j/k).
