Once again Hitchcock proves that the simplest of concepts cultivates the greatest amount of suspense.

This little masterpiece puts chills down my spine a corrupt Brandon a perfectionist with a sick sense of humor that seems to want to get caught because he stuffed his friend into a chest and then invites over that mans whole family and friends in this unnerving little flick but his partner in crime gets jittery to the whole event and these little rascals reap what they sow through careful collective trail finding through one of the more keen guests its a real ride of tension and hate for this sick rich slob of a man that just has to ruin anything good of wanting food or wine to his uncouth dinner party. A must watch and an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece enjoy ROPE~! 9 out of 10 forks the beast say here Yes oh yes THE BEAST APPROVES!

This week I watched Rope (1948). This movie is a crime drama mystery that lived up to its genre. I believe the point of this film was three-sided. I think it served to point out that there are people who exist in the world who can be typified as monsters. I think it also served to remind us to have a realistic perspective in regards to humanity and I think it also made the point that a leader should seriously consider the implications behind his or her teachings and shared thought processes. I think that the story demonstrated two different perspectives. The first perspective was that of the world through the eyes of a monster and then of that through the eyes of a human. I personally did not like the film as I don't like grim murder based stories, but if that's the kind of thing that you enjoy watching then it was a good film. The most unnerving part about the editing in this film had more to do with the shot style. If it weren't for the shaky and strange movement in the shots then I don't think that the editing would be too noticeable. However, certain points of the movie did not feel fluid to me. Perhaps the oddity of the visual dynamic was intentional and if that's the case then that was definitely effective. The plot was riveting and the payoff was better than I had anticipated. All in all this was a good film to learn from, but I wouldn't watch it again.

Oldies were all about the script and the lines the actors say. No special effects, minimal gore, just plain old suspense, intellectual conversations and the details. This especially refers to the crime stories of the 1950s and 1960s and among them, the ones that made Alfred Hitchcock into one of the greatest film directors of all times. „Rope" is one of the best situation thrillers placed inside a single room during its entire course. Two murderers who are inviting friends to a party just to serve them on a improvised casket just so they can indulge their urge to rejoice their successful endeavor is just a great concept as a standalone, but when joined by some meticulous dialogues and great acting (Stewart), the viewer gets a memorable movie experience that will echo in the cinematographic eternity. „Rope" is one of the best movies Alfred Hitchcock made and one of the best murder mysteries ever.
