Vertigo

F***ing Hitchcock is how my one classmate described this movie. Vertigo is definitely a very interesting movie. Even though the plot is completely ridiculous it still wraps you in and you are wondering what happens next. I can’t even begin to describe the plot, a man hires an ex detective with vertigo to follow his fake wife who he claims is possessed by a dead relative that killed herself at 26 years of age. As you can see the plot is totally absurd but, that could be why the movie is so compelling. You can definitely see that Hitchcock is at work here crafting great suspense and some classic twists that I didn’t see coming. This is one of those movies that does not fit into any genera, it is part romance and part thriller. The only problem I had with this film was the corny music that played whenever they kissed, and James Stuart is one terrible kisser, I mean did you see how he just kind of sucked on her cheek.
