I thought these movies were pretty interesting, I likes how they all had some of the same reoccuring themes. Suspence mainly, the blonde women, and the wronged man characteritic. "39 Steps" I think had the best wrong man character, he always knew how to work his way out of things and was very witty, but watching movies in black and while and the fact that it was so old just doesn't hold my attention. "Rear Window" was probably my favorite out of the three, I liked the suspense that come with it because it held my attention. The camera angles used were interesting because they were different from other movies. I like having to watch a character put all the pieces together to figure something out, like this murder because you can try and figure it out as well. I thought our third movie, "Vertigo" was..okay, kind of interesting in a bad way but some good. But when it started to get boring, there would be twists to make it a little better. Once again, he has a blonde leading lady and that just shows how much he likes them and almost uses that as a symbol in his films. Overall, Hitchcock it a very good director does a very good job creating suspense, which is the best way to draw in an audiences attention!

I know Klobs hates it when we say it but I agree with the black and white/old filming that just looses my attention so easily. I found Rear Window sooo much more enjoyable as well, and much more audience engaging. I liked the binocular lens also, something I havent seen in many other movies. Actually now that I think about it, Disturbia uses that same lens too...coincidence!
