ALfred Hitchcock! what a genius

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2007)

After watching the documentary on Alfred Hitchcock and David O. Selznick, I have noticed that their styles and ways of doing things are very different. The one thing I noticed is that when Alfred Hitchcock was with Selznick the stories showed more compassion and had to do a lot more about romance. I saw a preview of Gone with the Wind It was very different then the movie Psycho, the action in Gone with the Wind was very dry and had a since of just being put there the main focus of the story was mostly on love. As for the Hitchcock movie Psycho that I watch completely of, his way showed a different way of looking at styles of camera angles and the story had almost no romance and lots of scary action and suspense. In my mind even though Selznick made one big success it doesn't compare to Hitchcock's powerful way of filming and creating such powerful works of art. In a way I could say that Selznick portrays his ideas as a romantic but in real life does not have any of the qualities, but as for Hitchcock as looking at his movies you see a very excluded man with some problems, but once again a complete opposite. One of my favorite seen in the movie Psycho was the shower seen the other was when the man gets stabbed and "roll" down the stairs, very ingenious on Hitchcock's part.
