Blabbing about: Rope (1948)





Hello!


So, I watched the 1948 Hitchcock thriller "Rope" the other day.

I first knew about this film since it was introduced in my 
favorite documentary "The celluloid closet".

I always wanted to watch it, so I did.



So here comes my random babbling, again.


Warning: May contain spoilers!




Rope (1948)
Thriller


I'm actually not sure if there is a lot that I can talk about this film,

But I'll just say that I thought it was great!
I thought the famous real-time camera work was awesome,
and it really made me feel like I was..you know, part of the movie.
Like, I was really with them. 




I thought the acting was superb and everything- was flawless.

I really can't believe this whole movie was just 8 characters talking to each other
in one room. It was so interesting!
I really love these types of  "experimental" kind of films.
I wonder if Hollywood is going to make anymore?
Maybe not. Audiences now days wouldn't be able to stand it, I guess.




Maybe, partly I watched this film to see the..haha,
the fabulous gay subtext throughout the film.
And... I really wonder ... how would this film be like
If there was no such thing as the production code then?
would it be more, how do I say it.. open?
I actually don't know, because is the relationship between the
two men that important?
(Ok... I don't even know what the hell I am talking about now..)




Yes, I thought how they served food on that..whats it called? a trunk?
Was like the most scariest and disturbing thing ever.
oh my god... this film actually really scared me.
The ending was intense..and sad, I wonder what happened to
James Stewart character after the credits started to roll.


I never,found Hitchcock's cameo.
I complete forgot about it, completely.
I mean, who can find that?? it looks like some random
red thing out the window to me! (lol)
I personally think Hitchcock's cameo in "North by Northwest"
was the most easy-to-find.


Best scene:


The Last scene. 

In conclusion,
This film was amazing, and I can't say anymore,
it left a lasting imagine in my head after the ending.
Just.. the 3 characters, all calm, waiting to be taken away.





Bye bye!
