Exciting when it counts

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2008)

The movie starts slow and builds, builds damn well Hitchcock captures my attention when the plot is solved and keeps me glued to the screen wanting more answers. But does he give it? not all of it which keeps me guessing, and which keeps other critics guessing.
Meaning, my guess can be better than yours, and vice versa, so the interpretation of this film (filmwise) can be very subjective, but nothing to fight and debate about. Ultimately the focus of film should be the literal film itself and what is being shown in the big screen and not the meaning or the interpretation.
Script was excellent, lovable and amusing. Acting except for the kissing in the beginning part, maybe coz I wasn't the guy of that time, I just thought that the kissing was bad, James Stewart didn't know how to kiss the beautiful lady that well, it was a little awkward for me. But as the film continued it got better.
Cinematography was very good, didn't realize San Francisco was that amazing, before I die I want to visit that bridge and maybe go for a swim, hoping someone will save me. ^^
Music was mysteriously amusing, and Im guessing it didn't take that much money to make this film, and yet it was good. The techniques in editing wasn't to complex, because it didn't need to be, and because this film is pretty old. I loved Hitchcock playing with colors and that really drived the point home.
