North by Northwest

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2010)

North by Northwest was one of the best movies I have seen in this class. I stayed attentive through the whole thing. It was very good and looking back at the time I can see it being a huge thriller. Not only was it full of suspense and tension but it was also mixed with some very funny humor and also even a cute little love story. The government made up a secret person just to throw off these shady mobster people and some how these shady mobster people got the name confused with this man whose name was not even the same as the one the secret agency was using. But anyways so they threaten him and of course try to kill him and he escapes and through out this whole movie he is trying to find out why him and why they after him and starts finding answers here and there but its not until the secret agency finally finds him and I saves him does he find out what is really going on. By this point though he has met this girl who is working for the secret agency but playing like she's on the side of the shady mobster people. He falls in love with her basically and ends up saving her in the end from the bad guys who actually figure her out. This movie was actually full of some risqué stuff that I wouldn't have expected in a movie of this time but I guess you learn new things every day. It was a very bold and entertaining film. One of the few that I would actually watch again out of the ones I have seen in this class. It makes me want to go and watch some of Alfred Hitchcock's other films.
