Vertigo assignment

December 3rd, 2007

 

 

Director Alfred Hitchcock on his movie: “In the novel on which the movie is based, it’s only at the very end that both Scottie and the reader discover that Madeleine and Judy are one and the same woman. That’s the final surprise twist. In the screenplay, we used a different approach. At the beginning of the second part, when Scottie meets the brunette, the truth about Judy’s identity is disclosed, but only to the viewer. Though Scottie isn’t aware of it yet, the viewers already know that Judy isn’t just a woman who looks like Madeleine, but that she is Madeleine! Everyone around me was against this change; they all felt that the revelation should be saved for the end of the picture.”

 

Who do you think was right, Hitchcock or everyone around him?

Class assignment

Keep in mind this dictionary definition.

sentimental
adjective
dealing with feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia in an exaggerated and self-indulgent way : a sentimental ballad.

A and B are having a friendly argument.

A: Of course Our Town is sentimental. It says life is wonderful. We just don’t realize it. What nonsense.

B: Our Town is not sentimental. It says most of us can’t see what’s special about life. That’s pretty tough-minded.

A: No, it’s sentimental. Do you think if we could slow down time, like Emily wants to do, that life would be wonderful? It would be a prolonged crisis. Or at least most of it would be accompanied by a low-level hum of anxiety.

B: But Our Town also says that life doesn’t count for much in the vastness of time and space. That’s not sentimental.

A: But telling us that life is fragile and precious because it’s lost in the vastness of time and space is very sentimental.

B: No, because it’s true.

A: I guess we have to agree to disagree.

B: Why don’t we ask the students whether they think Our Town is sentimental?

A: Right here in this blog.

B: And ask them to respond to each other’s comments in a well-mannered running argument.

A: And remind them to sign their comments.

B: And every so often to plunge back in to respond to their responders.

A: And to consider the production as well as the script.

B: Consider them asked.
