I am taking a film class on Hitchcock this semester. Just finished watching my second Hitchcock film, Notorious, (first was The 39 Steps in class yesterday) and am in awe.

First Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman- hello- amazing on screen chemistry. It was like they were really meant to be together, that they should be together.

The camera work in this movie was amazing. I don’t even know how to describe it (even though I just typed a 4 page paper on it, lol). The angles, shots, and movement Hitchcock uses is so artful. It builds up the suspense in the perfect ways. It shows emotion that one wouldn’t otherwise feel.

I always thought his films were horror stuff. I was so wrong and I’ve missed out on so much by not seeing his work. I am very much looking forward to the next 6 movies of his I get to watch!!!
