Vertigo (1958)

The main genre film of its generation. If you've been looking for the perfect detective story, then you've got it. They skillfully show us what we want to see, because the main task of a detective is to play with the viewer and ask more and more questions, while always giving answers, otherwise it will be a one-way game, and the script allows us to solve certain moments. That's really a compliment for the atmosphere of mysticism and horror. The director here is still at a titanic level, and when it comes to music, ideas, and all of the above, the creator hits the bull's-eye. Many people are bothered by the slow, unhurried rhythm of the narrative, but I did not notice this, the tension and reasoning during my walks around the city did not tire me, and on the contrary, I was waiting for this denouement, especially since Hitchcock was able to surprise us by giving us a plot twist not at the end, but in the middle, which dramatically changes the attitude, and you are already waiting for the original the answer to the puzzle. Fortunately, the characters ask understandable questions and behave not according to the will of the script, but like real people. The acting performance of the two title roles is clearly something that will suit your taste.

If we briefly describe how Hitchcock creates an alarming atmosphere, then I will say that the hero just rises on a stool, and I'm already scared. Not because he's going to fall, but just alarmingly. Because of the music, the production and some special atmosphere. That's what Hitchcock is all about.

Hitchcock is a master of suspense, and what a picture here! Old America, elegance in every frame. Of course, Vertigo should be perceived as a classic of cinema. The timing is 2 hours, the film is slow, but it is able to keep in suspense.

The film is a wonderful cast of Super Hitchcock knows how to make a good movie.

If you don't ask questions about the antagonist's actions, because his scheme is too complicated, in my opinion, then the film is very good. It's not a bad thriller.

The surroundings, the costumes, the music - there are no questions about that. But the plot disappointed me, I watched it with great difficulty. It's very tedious and drawn out.

The end is spectacular, and that was probably the calculation. But I don't agree with such films, I consider them unfair and unnecessarily pessimistic. A person has the right to a happy life. And in this movie, it ended with another tragedy, and the main character also brought it to himself. Hitchcock deliberately led the woman to disaster and it was read at the end, so the film disappointed and the result was bitterness. There are no questions about the picture, it was shot very well. There were a couple of blunders, like a car driving on the left side, but apparently this is due to the limitations of 50x shooting technology
