'Vertigo' loaded with 'Surreal' film 'chic'

Dangerous obsession is a difficult thing to capture on film. However, one of the genius individuals who excelled in this category is the master director himself, Alfred Hitchcock. The development of a comprehensive film experience is often achieved in a brilliant manner by the esteemed Mr. Alfred Hitchcock. An obsession film story is the sleek 1958 Hitchcock movie, 'Vertigo.' This story draws us into a saga of lost love and nerves just totally beaten up. The film brings the rather surreal streets of the mysterious San Francisco to life. Hitchcock has two people, James Stewart and Kim Novak, really in all kinds of strange cinematic adventures. In a sense, Kim Novak is still another one of the Hitchcock blondes, yet she is so much more than a meaningless caricature. She slips in and out of personalities sort of a human existential prototype gone a little off kilter. Indeed, James Syewart and Kim Novak are strongly drawn to each other, but they just cannot seem to get the trust element going. The lost love tone that floats like a weird rhapsody in this film work is certainly engaging. In some ways, George Clooney, among modern stars may some day get this kind of strong acting endeavor going. That's if George Clooney could have the exciting time of working with a master director like Alfred Hitchcock.

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.
