The movie that keeps on giving

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2001)

-spoiler warning-
There are many films that reward multiple viewings, but I've never seen one that rewards you as much as 'Vertigo' does. I've seen this movie about ten times, and I just watched it again a few days ago, looking for details I might have missed. At the beginning of the film I noticed that Midge was explaining to Scottie that he couldn't easily lose his acrophobia - that only another "emotional shock" would do the trick. And sure enough, that emotional shock would come when the real Judy falls off the belltower at the end of the movie, revealing a cured Scottie looking down in disbelief. There is so much substance in this film that I couldn't possibly go into any specific aspect in detail. All I can say is that if you've only seen it once, do yourself a favor and watch it again - you'll be pleasantly surprised.
