Hitchcock

So I think that i've now reviewed five of his films over the last year that this challenge has been going on for. This is the review of the film that they made about him and that was almost solely about the making of Psycho.

Anthony Hopkins attempts to present himself as Hitchcock. If there is anyone that studies film and reads this blog then it would be great to get your opinion on his performance. As someone that has absolutely no idea whether it is truly an accurate presentation or not, i was very impressed with Mr. Hopkins. The character that he took on wasn't always an easy one to play and I have become used to seeing him in The Silence of the Lamb and a few other weird-er films like that. I don't think that i can recall seeing him in a role like this. He is superb in this role.

Supported excellently by Helen Mirren, who really deserved an award for her performance, they create a unique team that manages to make a fantastic movie that is always drawing emotion out of you. I don't think that i ever felt the same thing twice in this film as every scene gave me something different. I don't recall seeing a film like this before and this makes me very happy.
Helen Mirren is playing the determined and very able wife of a man that everyone knows. A man that for some reason the public didn't like when he made vertigo (I thought it was wonderful). I know that Alfred Hitchcock made a lot of films and having seen a few of the less well known ones i would be able to see their point if they had been referring to one of those films but i completely disagree with vertigo... it was fantastic. I didn't know that he had a woman that was actually better at directing than him and her part at the end of the film is something to admire.

I remember seeing the adverts for this film in one of the odd and very few times that i went to the cinema and immediately saying that i wanted to see it. At this point i hadn't seen a single Hitchcock film but i was desperate to see Anthony Hopkins as the man that was so famous. I was glad that this film didn't disapoint.
If you are a Hitchcock lover like me then i would recommend that you watch this film and most importantly, comment and let me know what you thought of it!
