I love Hitchcock he is sort of a genius of his trade. However I did not enjoy The 39 Steps. I was not a fan at all. That could just be because I don't typically enjoy that type of movie. The mystery type thing. I don't like when the whole point of a movie is to solve a mystery and nothing else. However, Rear Window was my favorite of the one's we watched. This also is sort of a crime solving film but in this one we aren't really sure if there is even a crime to solve. This also focuses a lot on the the neighbors and the community around the peeping tom. In the very beginning of the film, I was sort of creeped ou by this guy who spends all his time looking out a window but it becomes less and less creepy because soon enough it's basically the only view you have to see from. Is it less creep because you're the one doing it? Definitely not but everyone sort of feels less weird about it as time goes on.
In general, I am a big fan of Hitchcock andn could see myself watching more of his movies for simple pleasure my own social life negects from. waaaaahahahaahaaaaaahahaaa. I'm a loser. Wait what?

The Godfaaaaahaaather (yawn?)
The next epic tale told by Francis Ford Coppola that my group and I watched was The Godfather. I'm surprised that I only fell asleep twice while watching this movie. I constantly had to keep my wits about to stay awake because this plot takes so long to climax and the rising action didn't really keep my interest either. Perhaps that's why I couldn't type this blog in time.
Any farts, this movie talks a great deal about family and the mafia and Micheal, the Godfather's, son has to choose between his wants and his family's wants. There is some killing where one guy kills this the dad and then the son of that dad kills the guy that killed his dad and is pressured into the mafia by his family. In other words, it's all very confusing and long and unnecessary. Coppola does kind of a crappy job in making movies so far. He makes them way too long in his perfectionist ways and his ways are anywhere but perfect in fact they are anything but perfect... maybe even imperfect one might say. I would say that Coppola's ideas for movies are very good but how he goes about making them and writing them are far from great. His ideas for movies are fantastic but the execution of his ideas are awful. just to reiterate my point. So again, Great ideas but horrible execution of ideas. Thank you.
