    I know that this is sped up, but is it the version that was released for the 25th anniversary of the original 20th anniversary story being transmitted because I am sure that after the Fourth Doc got snatched by the Scoop, the image of Tom and Lalla was altered to be on a screen with a black surround but they used the one on the wall of the council chamber which is white made to look black but I think the BBC video version of 1990 has a different copy of that moment, I probably didn't explain that too well but I know what I mean

    Turlough was originally in this one, but they wrote him out since they couldn't figure out his controls after his operator died. Sorry, I meant Khamelion, but Turlough might as well not have been in either for how much script he gets.

    Bravely tasteless, it's an oddly nauseating rollercoaster ride to be repulsed by one of the most brutal rape /murder scenes in all cinema, then treated to one of Hitch's flashy technical shots (a slow pan away from a closed door to murder seemed oddly coy coming after the aforementioned scene) and within the dull police procedurals throw in some weak humour about lousy english cooking (the era of Fanny Craddock) to cement the dismal atmosphere. I do not like it, but it's something.

    Deliciously evil film and Hitchcock at his most explicit. I love it for how... undisguised it is. He's not trying to hide behind mechanics here, as he does in, say, Psycho (part of reason why I find it so weak); he's expressing himself through his fetishism of all this film's aspects. I do think this wouldn't be as interesting if it wasn't Hitchcock directing it, in part because it feels to be so directly about him. That is what gives its intrigue.

  • @zeecobra1044

  • @zeecobra1044
    @zeecobra1044 5 дней назад

    God this one is excellent. So ugly, so brutal, Hitchcock at his peak grotesque (that corpse scene!) - including the darkish humour of the policeman's dinners (a significant improvement on the terrible comedic dinner scene of '56 The Man Who Knew Too Much.) That this and De Palma's Sisters came out the same year... what a combo!

    This picture is basically if Hitchcock made an episode of Twin Peaks, again, inputting that particular humour of his. The divesting of his usual suspense mechanics and death-obsession is just so funny here, great stuff. The VistaVision, as per every one of Hitchcock's use of it, is also stunning.

  • @zeecobra1044
    @zeecobra1044 14 дней назад

    One of Hitchcock's most underrated and misunderstood pics, definitely one of my favourites of his. I love it when he just relaxes his hypercontrol (though he still maintains great control), lets himself free of suspense, be cheeky with that irreverent British humour (the deferred romanticism of Grant's character, constantly rebuffing her advances until that gorgeous fireworks scene) and have fun. The 4K for this one is a total mess but its the best we've got.

    Looooved this one. Feels like the only one of his pictures to really have him interrogate his faith. It's there in all his other works of course, but seeing it all laid out bare here is fascinating and gets to a part of him that I find most compelling. I can definitely see the New Wave inspiration.

      It is NOT a pat resolution but an astonishing one. Young Charlie, in helping get her uncle out of town and knowing him to be a serial killer becomes an ACCESSORY to his future murders. Even as the train pulls out he even has his next 'merry widow' picked out on the train - "that nice Mrs. Potter'. Much darker than people realize.

Certainly I get he might not be able to tolerate her knowing, But he would have been able to dispose of her in all sorts of other situations without arousing as much suspicion as one where he is identified as being in very close proximity. Maybe I'm being too nit picky, but doesn't quite add up.

    The opening to this one is so, if you'll forgive me, Lynchian. That weirdly unsettling visual of the smoke slowly just coming into the frame. Anyway, of his three major travelogue wrong man thrillers (39 Steps, this and NbNW) this is probably my favorite of them. It's such an oddball film, that whole middle act in particular. It's probably not good, but it's one of the most memorable parts of any of his works.

  • @schumanhuman
    @schumanhuman 19 дней назад

    Truffaut and Hitch were mostly right tbh. The issue with the bus explosion is not that it happens as it is indeed pivotal to the plot , but the way it is portrayed. Tension is built with rousing music, ticking clocks and cute puppies in peril in more or less the same way a woman tied to the tracks by a moustache-twirling villain was in countless silent movies, as an entertainment, tension in search of release, only in this case there is no hero to free her from the oncoming train. Rather than a bold thwarting of convention, it just leaves the audience more shocked that the film went there rather than any shock or emotion regarding the deaths of innocent people (and puppy). Tonally, it just doesn't work.
