Hitchcock was a Master of 'Twists'

One of my favorite people in film history is Alfred Hitchcock. His films were so full of all kinds of innovations. And the best thing was the fact of all the "twists" that Hitchcock could throw at you when he really got you in the core of the movie. His 1946 film, 'Notorious' is a huge favorite of mine. His dealing with the bizarre machinations of an espionage ring truly put the viewer into a strong cinematic experience. The 1951 work, 'Strangers on a Train' was also especially interesting with such a provocative interpretation of the mind of a villain. Two of his later works also appealed to me. Of course, I am referring to 'Marnie' and 'The Birds.' Indeed, 'The Birds' could vigorously shake up a person. And the superior work of the very clever, Tippi Hedren was marvelous in 'Marnie.' Tippi Hedren is an intense skillful person so well-schooled in the craft of acting. It is grand to have seen so many examples of unique film art and the good "twists" that Alfred Hitchcock gave us. The enjoyment of wonderfully grand film work is a delightful thing for a person to have. Nuances of shrewd film artistry can help us all to grow a bit more, intellectually.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
