Lucas Ramirez’s Reviews > Critical Insights: Film - Alfred Hitchcock > Status Update

Its a great book so far, but personally its starting to slow down. So im probably going to ditch this book on the 3rd, since that's when I need to return it. Most likely I'm going to re-read jaws. This book has been a great book though, but I'm just getting sidetracked with the multiple other things that are being said. Kinda how the Stanley kubrick book was for me.

Hitchcock has not been exactly "Liked" by critics. In the early years of his directorial role he was blasted for success, pushing his way through into becoming the king of suspense.

The book is good so far, the last chapter I read honestly I did not like due to it being an in-depth look into Hitchcocks choices in his films about the characters, like Norman from "Phycho" for instance.

Alfred Hitchcocks blunders were due with some success, some with failure, the film Phycho and The Birds were some of his films that he did, some of the other ones that he did that weren't to success were Topaz.

Alfred Hitchcock is one of the directors that I still need to watch a movie from, some of the films that were listed in the book so far were; Vertigo, Phycho, and The Birds, among many others.
