100/100
A ghost story with no future, with the past lingering like green neon. Any beauty or hope is conveyed through surfaces and costumes, a look for desire and obsession fulfilled. If the crashing waves and towering trees greet our doomed lovers, then the bustling streets of modern culture - a world on the cusp of change - will reject it all until it's a mirage; haze evoked though aching memory and spectral shadows. The Greatest Film of All Time? You won't see me disagreeing.
when midge shows john her carlotta painting, someone couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes...we are very professional film students
Hitchcock? More like I want to hitch-a-ride-on-his-cock because this film was incredible
Female characters minding their own business:
Alfred Hitchcock: that’s nice [gunshot]
what annoyed me more? the last act of this, or the toothache that’s been gnawing at me all day? the toothache wins, but just barely
The first act of this film is slow and largely uninteresting, and I was shocked at how little the movie has to do with... vertigo. But when the second half kicks off, it gets terrific. Until the ending, which just made scream “...what?!” at the giant wall of Hollywood Forever Cemetery where it was projected. It genuinely felt like a scene was missing. Bad ending.
alfred hitchcock managed to make a scene where the main character takes three steps on a 3 foot stepladder thats scarier than 90 percent of all horror movies
