I always had heard the name Alfred Hitchcock, but didn't know much who he was, nor what type of movies he had produced - with the exception of Birds. Of the three movies we watched in class, I found Rear Window and Vertigo to be most entertaining, while 39 steps was a little lackluster for me. The thing I liked about Hitchcock the most was that he assumed the audience was capable of making connections and figuring things out for themselves. In Rear Window, we were expected to understand the relationships amongst the neighbors without it being clearly stated. I always enjoy a movie that gets me thinking, in comparison with sitting there like a vegetable. The thing that was enjoyable about Vertigo was the very abnormal plot that was unrealistic, but at the same time possibly feasible? 39 Steps I found to be fairly bland. Overall, I was a satisfied Alfred Hitchcock viewer. I might rent one of his movies - but let's not get carried away just yet.
