weird doesn't even begin to explain this from the mother to the son

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2010)

I absolutely loved the areal view shot of the city in the beginning of the movie. I thought this movie did a great job of being a thriller i felt very anxious the whole time I was watching it. Everyone was very odd, or weird. They all acted strange and antsy. The music helped tremendously with establishing the feel of the mis-en-scene of the movie. As did the vacant hotel, the sketchy police man and the dreary weather. The fast cuts between Marion and the police officer while he was following her added to the "freaky/ weird" feel of the movie as did all the birds in the mans office at the motel and the yells that came from the house. If I were Marion as soon as I found out that I was the only one stating there i would have left as fast as I could especially seeing how inquisitive the man was. After seeing the shower scene that was shown as an example in the Hitchcock interview I realized just how complex it really was. I think that scene and the areal view scene were my favorite.
