Resumo de Suspicion - Alferd Hitchcock

Suspicion (1941), the story of a woman who thinks her husband is a murderer about to make her his next victim, was an exploration of family dynamics; its introduction of evil into the domestic arena foreshadowed Shadow of a Doubt (1943), Hitchcock's early Hollywood masterwork. One of his most disturbing films, Shadow was nominally the story of a young woman who learns that a favorite uncle is a murderer, but at heart it is a sobering look at the dark underpinnings of American middle-class life. Fully as horrifying as Uncle Charlie's attempts to murder his niece was her mother's tearful acknowledgment of her loss of identity in becoming a wife and mother. "You know how it is," she says, "you sort of forget you're you. You're your husband's wife." In Hitchcock, evil manifests itself not only in acts of physical violence, but also in the form of psychological, institutionalized and systemic cruelty. (hmmm...no wonder why ladies are so bitter and shameless nowadays - taking off their clothes and trying to be men-like - a kind of a defence mechanism it is it seems...not wanting to loose their identity and be used as an objest..little do they realise that this is what the villain-men want - the women taking off their dresses so that the devils can have a good time ogling at them - ofcourse these IDIOT ladies are counseled differently - that they have a good body which should be shown to the world !!!and they quickly agree as they have dearth of brain or No brain..or maybe a whole lot of brain - they are the ones living in luxury and comfort ..whereas the innocent , pure girls are living in poverty (refer hindi movie Devdas - how a poor girl PARO had to get married to an old haggard man because of derth of money !...whereas her young, verile lover Devdas went ahead to have a gala time with a Prostitute by the name of Chandramukhi !)
Hitchcock would return to the feminine sacrifice-of-identity theme several times, most immediately with the masterful Notorious(1946), a perverse love story about an FBI agent who must send the woman he loves into the arms of a Nazi in order to uncover an espionage ring.(cripes...this is really sick I tell you - the woman , in real life , if reborn would be so very bitter towards men as she would remember bits and pieces from her past life of how her lover misused her!)
Strangers on a Train(1951) a villain intent on committing the perfect murder as well as a strong homoerotic undercurrent.(wonder what this word homo-erotic means !!- homo-sapiens means human beings and erotic has got something to do with sex and nude female body..is this why Alferd is called a blender of sex & violence and humans?)
Rear Window(1954) made viewers voyeurs, then had them pay for their pleasure. In its story of a photographer who happens to witness a murder, Hitchcock provocatively probed the relationship between the watcher and the watched, involving, by extension, the viewer of the film. ....(somewhat like The Truman Show - where a Director wanted to wear the shoes of GOD but failed....these story writers and directors, at some point of time start thinking that they are equal to God - and this is where things go wrong - they die of Heart failure and kidney and liver malfunnction...etc ! )
Vertigo(1958), as haunting a movie as Hollywood has ever produced, took the lost-feminine-identity theme of Shadow of a Doubt and Notorious and identified its cause as male fetishism (I saw Vertigo - it means fear of heights and for your knid information it has been remade in hindi starring Ravina & Jackie I think - ofcourse it could not touch the class & elan of the Hollywood movie ..but we poor & poverty stricken Indians did try - should you not give us some wee bit of encouragement?..after the Freedom fighters drove the Britishers all out, the children & grand children of those Indians who worked for the British and shot at the Indian Freedom Fighters at the command of some British Officer, are the same onesre trying to mimic them from top to bottom - esp. their crass culture of wearing lacy undergarments and making their women dance semi - nude in pubs & beer bars!)
Frenzy (1972), a tale much more in the Hitchcock vein, about an innocent man suspected of being a serial killer. His final film, Family Plot (1976), pitted two couples against one another: a pair of professional thieves versus a female psychic and her working-class lover. It was a fitting end to a body of work that demonstrated the eternal symmetry of good and evil.( so he did tell all his viewers and readers about the eternal symmetry of Good and evil...but did they learn ?)
