@tranya327 7 месяцев назад

In ‘Rear Window,’ Hitchcock had them build an incredibly elaborate indoor set, to create the appearance of gritty apartment buildings surrounding a small courtyard; In ‘Rope,’ the prep was almost as elaborate: The camera tracks the characters from one room to another. That required the set to be constructed with walls that would slide SILENTLY out of the way for the cameras. 1940s tech was bulky and heavy, so the set crew had to wrangle cables for the moving camera in real time - all silently and in a way that the crew wouldn’t trip over one another. Hitch wanted the film to feel as if the whole thing were ••ONE LONG SHOT••. Hence, the moves where the camera momentarily focuses on one of the actors’ backs (to change the film magazine in the camera). (In reality, there are also a few cuts during the story.)

@HuntingViolets 7 месяцев назад

A very good explanation. Making something that gives the experience of a play is actually a technical achievement.

@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra 2 месяца назад

The only cuts which exist are: those required so that the film reels could be changed (shot reel replaced by fresh reel.). It was shot "as a play," excepting that: if there were any screw-ups, that entire reel would need to be shot again. That is how Hitchcock shot this.

@alzo7891 3 месяца назад

Hitchcock made the same story of a wrongly-accused man chasing the real killer across the country THREE times- first as ‘The 39 Steps’ then ‘Saboteur’ and finally ‘North by Northwest.’ But, yes, ‘Strangers on a Train’ (also featuring a wrongly-accused man) is a ton of fun. Go for it, Coby!

The writer of the original play was Patrick Hamilton and he wrote another stunning movie Gaslight. The term gaslighting actually originates from this movie. It is another stunning old black&white movie from 1944 with a very young Ingrid Bergman which is even after 80 years still actual, captivating and very disturbing.

@TMorgan-j1j 7 месяцев назад

Awesome! I was the one who mentioned this in the Rear Window comments. This is inspired by the real life events of the Leopold and Loeb case.

@pabmusic1 7 месяцев назад

Rope is a play from 1929 by the British writer Patrick Hamilton. He also wrote the play Gaslight - which led to our use of the expression "gaslighting". Rope was inspired by the Leopold and Loeb murder in Chicago. The entire movie is shot in long takes - 10 minutes, a whole reel each time. Hitchcock had two favourite male actors - Cary Grant and James Stewart, with four movies each. And two favourite females - Ingrid Bergman and Grace Kelly - with three each.

@cjmacq-vg8um 5 месяцев назад

hitchcock intended this film to run like a single shot take. which was impossible in 1948 because film reels come in 10 minute lengths. only 10 minutes can be filmed before its necassary to reload the camera. but he created the illusion quite successfully. it took digital film making before such a thing was realized. in 2002 a film called "the russian arc" was the first major film to succeed in shooting a 90 minute film in a single shot with absolutely no edits. its a very odd and interesting film. i recommend it highly. my suggestions from the 1948 era of films are 1948's "the snake pit" with a tour-de-force performance by Olivia de Havilland, "white heat" (1949) starring jimmy cagney in his last gangster role, 2 films with bogart "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) and "the african queen" (1950) and "Bicycle Thieves" (1948) a post war Italian neorealist drama directed by Vittorio De Sica considered one of the best films ever made. thanks for the video.

Check out “Rebecca,” Hitchcock’s first American film. Also, the history of “Rope” is pretty complicated and a very bold choice for both Hitchcock and Stewart. Especially in the days of the Hayes Code. Also adding to the suggestion of “Lifeboat.”

@joebloggs396 7 месяцев назад

While she says it's like a play (it was based on one) she never really mentions cinematic aspects anyway and concentrates on plot, as seen with Vertigo already. One thing to point out is that this film has only 10 cuts, so the takes were very long and it creates a different style.

@p.d.stanhope7088 3 месяца назад

Rope was based on a play inspired by the Leopold Loeb case (1924). The originally Thrill Killers who killed a neighbor boy Bobby Franks to make the perfect crime. It was Hitchcock's most experimental. Taking those long takes during dialogue was technique directly from the play and Luis Bunuel would apply to his movies. Those long takes full of dialogue is a technique that will stop scene cutting Producers.

Love the fact that you're getting into Hitchcock's stuff. A lot of people miss out on his filmography because they think movies from that time are too old or dated, but really, a lot of his movies are more or less timeless and have enormous rewatch value. Might I recommend Dial M For Murder (another confined setting movie, but clearly better than Rope imo) and Rebecca (like a 40s The Shining, without the weird bits).

Hitchcock adding gays as killers /baddies again (Rebeca/North by Northwest)

@McZorr0101 6 месяцев назад

Hitchcock’s film Rope was based on a 1929 play written by Patrick Hamilton. Hamilton’s play was based on the real case known as Leopald and Loeb, two young men who were fascinated by Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of "supermen" (Übermenschen), interpreting them as transcendent individuals possessing extraordinary and unusual capabilities, whose superior intellect allowed them rise above the laws and rules that bound the unimportant, average people. In the real life story Leopald and Loeb kidnapped a 14 year old boy, demanded a ransom but killed him anyway and hid the body. In a later film Compulsion (1959) the facts of the real life case are blended with fictional elaborations to outline the bare bone of the Leopald and Loeb case. In both Rope and Compulsion the young men are supposed to be in a gay relationship, as Leopald and Loeb were, but the Hays Code prevented this from being openly acknowledged and so it was merely implied.

Just be careful when you look up the works of Nietzsche as they were re-written by the No-No Germans to support their political ideology prior to WWII and publishers still prefer to reprint that version as opposed to what he actually wrote. Man and Superman is about the power of morality, not it's dismissal. The Superman is someone who understands why moral behavior is the correct choice as opposed to ordinary man who only knows what society finds acceptable.

One thing Hitchcock prided himself with in this movie is that he makes it one continuous scene from one camera. Each reel of film is 20 minutes long, and he would hide the transitions by panning the camera across a dark object in the foreground, such as the back of a man's suit. You don't notice it on first viewing, but are drawn to watch for it on subsequent viewings.

@jameskelly8586 7 месяцев назад

It seems like a play at first viewing, but it's really very cinematic. They had to construct the set so those heavy cameras could move smoothly, with walls that would fly up into the rafters. The scene through the window isn't just a painting, it's a diorama that was lit to indicate the passage of time. The technical challenges of this movie really indicate where Hitchcock will go in future movies, using what he learned from this.

Coby, that may actually be model of the city skyline outside the window rather than a painting. Watching the movie I kept noticing chimneys with actual smoke billowing out of them and a few blinking lights on some of the buildings. It's either a mini model of the skyline that they pay very detailed attention to make it look like the actual city complete with smoking chimneys and biking lights on buildings, or that's a very picturesque view of the city out the window. Plus, you'll notice it gets darker outside as the movie progresses. It's interesting though that you said that at the beginning when he opened the blinds after they killed the guy. Otherwise I would have never thought to notice all that as I was watching.

@phdebaecque 23 дня назад

The movie is also a metaphor about gay sex : We begin with the "climax" between the two friends. It's their first time, one is exhilarated, the other is ashamed. Of course, no one can know or it would be the end of their reputation. When you watch the movie knowing that, all the double entendre are hilarious.

After watching you react to Rear Window I thought to myself that you should react to Rope. I saw this film in 1978 during my Film Education class in high school. From the mind of Alfred Hitchcock came this unique film in how it was edited. So I will provide a portion of the article about this film from Wikipedia that as someone who loves film you might find interesting. “The film is one of Hitchcock's most experimental and "one of the most interesting experiments ever attempted by a major director working with big box-office names",abandoning many standard film techniques to allow for the long unbroken scenes. Each shot ran continuously for up to ten minutes (the camera's film capacity) without interruption. It was shot on a single set, aside from the opening establishing shot street scene under the credits. Camera moves were carefully planned and there was almost no editing. The walls of the set were on rollers and could silently be moved out of the way to make way for the camera and then replaced when they were to come back into the shot. Prop men constantly had to move the furniture and other props out of the way of the large Technicolor camera, and then ensure they were replaced in the correct location.”- Wikipedia

@jamesodonnell3636 7 месяцев назад

This is another great reaction, Coby, but you kind of stunned me at one point, after Rupert (Jimmy Stewart's character) refers to spry old Mrs. Wilson as "my love." Your mind was clearly blown. Your very words: "Is she not a LOT older than him?! Like a LOT???" (As if Mrs. Wilson isn't completely adorable, but that's beside the point.) What constitutes "a lot," Coby-wan Kenobi? The answer to your question depends on your cultural assumptions, does it not? It depends on what we in the audience have grown accustomed to. Since Hollywood's earliest days, it's been fairly standard to pair young women with much older men. Outside of HAROLD & MAUDE (please consider giving this charming cult classic a watch), it's positively verboten in Tinsel Town to pair older women with younger men (unless that's the point, a la sleazy, "My Tutor" kinda stuff). Let's consider some of Jimmy Stewart's big-screen love interests in some of his most iconic roles (including some I know you're familiar with)... one actress at a time: - "Mrs. Wilson" in ROPE (not a for-real love interest, more of a running gag): Edith Evanson, 12 years older than JS. - "Judy Barton" in VERTIGO (for whom "Scotty" is totally hot/obsessed): Kim Novak, 25 years younger than JS. - "Lisa Fremont" in REAR WINDOW (the lover "Jeff" simply can't walk away from, pun intended): Grace Kelly, 21 years younger than JS. - "Hallie Stoddard" in THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE (the woman JS's character married): Vera Miles, 21 years younger than JS. - "Mary Hatch Bailey" in IT'S A WONDERFUL WIFE (j/k), arguably the film JS is best known for: Donna Reed, 13 years younger than JS. Breaking it down, the actresses playing Jimmy Stewart's love interests in four of his best-known films were TWENTY YEARS younger than Stewart, on average (hell, two of them are still alive, and Stewart's been dead since 1997, RIP). So, there it is: The actress playing "Mrs. Wilson" in ROPE, Edith Evanson (my great-grandmother on my grandfather's side*) was just 12 years older than Jimmy Stewart... and you found it shocking. But I submit to you that if the situation were reversed (and it were depicted as a genuine romance), it wouldn't raise a single eyebrow, because that's what we've grown accustomed to. * Yes, that part was a fib/joke, but it made my diatribe so much more interesting and "legit," right? Plus, at my age, if I type too long without making stuff up I get bored.

As for Hitchcock & Stewart, check out The Man Who Knew Too Much. Another one with Peter Lorre (Ugarte from Casablanca) in great German movie M. I really like your selections to date.

Rupert Cadell is the stereotypical professor. Academic who knows not what he provokes with his intellectual forays. Walter Mathau's professor in 'Fail Safe' is similar. Pontificating at a cocktail party about first strike then faced with the reality as he sits with the president trying to stop the bombers headed for the USSR.

Well groomed, refined (on the surface), but, still just punks.

You were right at the very beginning when you said something about that their bragging would give them away. You should see the play. It's the same story of course, but quite different. All of the characters in it are uttlery unlikeable. And the "Rupert" character has a climactic speech in which he says that anybody who commits the "perfect" crime will cause their own downfall because what is the point of such a crime if you can't tell someone about it...and in so doing, they will make their guilt known. The play was written when the philosophy of Nietzsche was very fashionable and the ideas of the "superman"...which, if misrepresented, can lead to feeling one is superior to others and it therefore follows that these two can legitmately murder someone whose life is "less valuable" and not experience any remorse. There are also (bear in mind this film was released in 1948!) barely hidden references to homosexuality in the relationships. ...and it's worth watching the film again with this knowledge as there are so many lines and actions that are heavy with meaning when viewed in this context. Phillip and Brandon are certainly in an homosexual relationship. Rupert might well have been "closer" to them than a school master should have been. In the real life case, the two murderers were, it is claimed, in a similar relationship; Arthur Laurents (one of the screenwriters) was gay; John Dall (Brandon) was gay and Farley Grainger (Phillip) was bisexual. In later interviews, Farley Grainger said he thought that James Stewart had no idea that his character (Rupert) was also gay! And finally, one of your commentators has pointed out the "long takes". This was Hitchock's first colour film and he also wanted to give the impression of "real time". This, and the fact that (other than the opening credit sequence), the film takes place in one set (it was a play, after all) allowed Hitch to give the impression of filming in one take. It is sleight of hand, of course. The film is basically in 10 "takes" (although there are actually a handful of conventional cuts - barely noticeable); each no longer than the capacity of the camera film cartridge. He "coverered" his trick by zooming into a dark area (typically a close-up of someone's back), changing the film and then zooming out again on seemingly uninterruped action. Clever use of continuous dialogue reinforces the effect. I love this film...as you can probably see!! :)

of course Coby enjoyed "Rope" almost as much as when she experiences rope and a 4-post bed!

"Rope" is another one of Hitchcock's experiments, but that doesn't detract from its greatness. It's an incredibly well-made psychological thriller. The acting, by a fantastic cast, is absolutely superb. As I said, a great film. That said, it's not one of my favorite Hitchcock films. It's a little too dark for my tastes. Having David's father essentially eat off his son's casket is pretty disturbing. The film is based on a play about the infamous Loeb-Leopold murder case. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, students at the University of Chicago, kidnapped and murdered 14-year-old Bobby Franks, who was Loeb's second cousin. Both Leopold and Loeb were extremely intelligent young men. Like the Brandon and Philip in the film, they subscribed to the rather aristocratic Nietzschean philosophy of the Übermensch or superior man. Nazism, anarchism, eugenics, nihilism etc. have bases in this philosophical construct which was an attack on what Nietzche probably would have termed bourgeois morality. Unfortunately, you still see aspects of Nietzsche's ideas present amongst today's elites. Leopold and Loeb are commonly believed to have been in a homosexual relationship at the time. Nietzsche's philosophy and homosexuality are obviously elements in Hitchcock's film. Brandon and Philip are certainly a gay couple, and the suggestion is that Rupert is also homosexual. After killing David, Brandon even smokes a cigarette, which is suggestive of the sex act. The film's most experimental aspect is that it simulates one-continuous-take. Of course, there were a few disguised edits because the film in the camera had to be changed. This one-take aspect of the film creates the illusion that the film occurs in real time. The lack of music also contributes to the film's atmosphere of deadly realism. Also, the actors really had to know their lines and blocking, and there was a lot of dialogue. I don't think most film actors today could do roles like these. Hitchcock certainly wasn't promoting Nietzsche in "Rope," far from it. The film is really an indictment of Nietzsche and a reaction to WW II. Brandon, who styles himself as intellectually superior, categories David, the victim, as an inferior, someone who merely occupies space. Not even human, really. This despite the fact that David was apparently a good student. For Brandon, murder is a privilege of the superior man. Good and evil, right and wrong are inventions for the inferior man because he needs them. The superior man is a substitute for God in this system. Brandon even equates killing (uncreation) with creation. In the film, Harry Kentley, David's father, identifies Brandon's worldview as being in agreement with Nietzsche and his theory of the Übermensch. Brandon agrees, and Kentley observes: "So did Hitler." Of course, this all begs the question of who decides who is superior and who is inferior? Nietzscheanism fundamentally undermines human dignity. Although Rupert eventually disavows his Nietzscheanism, he can't evade his culpability for the murder. He was still a party to it. Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil!

There is something about this movie that appears to have gone completely over your head. This story was based upon a REAL murder case. In fact, the same story served as the basis of ANOTHER excellent motion picture, "Compulsion", produced in 1959. That film, which adhered much more closely to the facts of the real murder case upon which "Rope" was loosely based, featured Bradford Dillman and Dean Stockwell as the two young "thrill-killers" and Orson Wells as their defense attorney. In the real murder case the two murderers were defended by the eminent attorney Clarance Darrow, who also represented the defendant in the famous "Scopes Monkey Trial". That court case also became the subject of a well-known play and at least two motion pictures under the title "Inherit the Wind".

This movie reminds me of the crime of the century of way back when involving Leopold and loeb. Two young men, highly intelligent, looking to commit the perfect crime just for kicks. But, they got caught, rather quickly.

@timrichardson8246 7 месяцев назад

OK, so the only thing you really didn't talk about was HOW the movie was filmed; a complete and total anomaly from the master, in continuous takes. THIS FROM WIKEPEDIA... "The film is one of Hitchcock's most experimental and "one of the most interesting experiments ever attempted by a major director working with big box-office names", abandoning many standard film techniques to allow for long unbroken scenes. Each shot ran continuously for up to ten minutes (the camera's film capacity) without interruption. It was shot on a single set, aside from the opening establishing shot street scene under the credits. Camera moves were carefully planned and there was almost no editing, because when each 10 minute segment ended, the camera would dolly forward toward a solid object in extreme closeup, thus ending that sequence, whereas the next would begin the same way, and then dolly backwards away from the object, thus beginning the next sequence, and giving the illusion of seamless action. I believe Hitch only separates one sequence in the entire movie with a cutaway. Two if you count the cutaway from the opening credits and the outside view of the apartment. Additionally, the walls of the set were on rollers and could silently be moved out of the way to make way for the camera and then replaced when they were to come back into the shot. Prop men constantly had to move the furniture and other props out of the way of the large Technicolor camera, and then ensure they were replaced in the correct location. A team of soundmen and camera operators kept the camera and microphones in constant motion, as the actors kept to a carefully choreographed set of cues. This filming technique, which conveys the impression of continuous action, also serves to lengthen the duration of the action in the mind of the viewer. In a 2002 article in Scientific American, Antonio Damasio argues that the time frame covered by the movie, which lasts 80 minutes and is supposed to be in "real time", is actually longer-a little more than 100 minutes. This, he states, is accomplished by speeding up the action: the formal dinner lasts only 20 minutes, the sun sets too quickly and so on. Actor James Stewart found the whole process highly exasperating, saying: "The really important thing being rehearsed here is the camera, not the actors!" Much later, Stewart said of the film: "It was worth trying - nobody but Hitch would have tried it. But it really didn't work."" Although, I don't agree with Stewart. The technique of the moving camera in long unbroken takes like that, has a lulling effect, and draws in the viewer, and hence, gives this presentation more power and suspense than it otherwise would've had. Nevertheless, a totally underrated gem. My next Hitchcock suggestion for you: "Strangers On A Train", also starring Farley Granger.
