'I Confess' movie loaded with raw emotion

Alfred Hitchcock had a clever way of directing his films. The man managed to stick all kinds of interesting "twists" in his movies. And it got tricky to just keep up with all his witty cleverness. But somehow a soul got snared and the next thing was...the viewer going down deep into the well and finding the fellow 'Hitch' had managed a finesse job again. the man had another bit of film artistry going on. I believe the raw emotion that is a burning portion of the Hitchcock movie works rather resembles the gutsy feelings one gets when listening to old-style rock sounds like those coming frm Elvis, Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee Lewis and yes even some musicians who came a little later like Led Zeppelin and the wild fellows, ZZ-Top. Emotion can produce a whole new dimension in a man or a woman's life. It is a fact that when a big serving of wild emotion explodes into a person's brain then a more compelling and fascinating human being's personality is born. Getting back to the clever core of gritty Hitchcock stuff, one of my favorite H. movies is a thing called 'I Confess' that came out in 1953. This one had Montgomery Clift, Anne Baxter and Karl Malden. The story of a priest (Montgomery Clift) is slick. The psychological teeth of this number is the riveting bloodstream of the story that somehow has the priest Clift ending up as a top suspect in a rugged murder. A church caretaker at a Quebec Catholic church confesses to the priest Clift and then inexorably Mr. Clift is drawn into a spidery web making him wonder what in the world to do with this confessed stream of consciousness. When the police figure the priest Clift has something to do with all this then the guy cannot spill his guts and tell stuff. In a strange way I remembered the clever old actor Walter Brennan when watching Monty Clift's performance. Brennan like Clift was seemingly always getting hung up in a tidal wave of roughhouse emotions that had people really strung out. A sleek additional blue note in this interesting 'I Confess' film is the romantic stuff Mr. Clift and the unique actress, Anne Baxter, get themselves into. And the wild, profound actor Karl Malden pounds out a good performance too in this odd story. Just like listening to grilling, powerful Elvis Presley songs the films of Alfred Hitchcock remain well-honed bits of cinematic steel fixed up on the anvil of truly skilled movie making. Intense emotion in movies rings all our chimes and slips us into a deep abyss of a mind-blowing experience we can really sink our teeth into.

'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.

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.
