Alfred Hitchcock Thrillers

Alfred Hitchcock's Thrillers

Hitchcock's Films have inspired generation after generation with different techniques and ideas that he had used over the years. Even though I have only watched two of his movies, Psycho and a part of The Birds, I'm liking what I see. I will probably make another post of The Birds movie after I have finished this blog, which i am really hoping to see the end of the movie at some point. i believe that what makes Alfred Hitchcock's films so different from other films is all of the different techniques that he uses and of all of them, i believe that the most successful one has to be the MacGuffin. He uses this technique very well through all of the films that he makes. i think that the best example of this would be in North By Northwest. The MacGuffin originally in the film was the Microfilm which would stop the bad guys from taking over the world but as the film goes on, we forget about the Microfilm and begin to focus on how Cary grant is going to survive through all of the baddies throughout the film. This is again used cleverly in The Birds. In the beginning of the film, the aim was for Tippi Hedren to deliver the Lovebirds to Rod Taylor as revenge for tricking her when they first met in the pet store, as the movie goes on and gets to the end we start to think that the Lovebirds have something to do with the attacks by the birds but then the movie ends and we will never figure out what actually caused the Birds to attack. One thing that Alfred Hitchcock especially had a thing for was blonde's in his movies. He seemed especially fond of Tippi Hedren which is bad for her since she then got real birds thrown at her which she was not expecting. Also you can see that there are also blonde's in Psycho and North By Northwest.
