Ah! Fuck Hitchcock? Then fuck my banner too? Why a terrible insult that is, my dear fellow.
Like Hitch or not, this is not the point here. The thing is you cannot compare these two, who came up with this idea? Hitchcock was the Hollywood bigshot you are lucky to get near to, getting any actor he wanted, firing any screenwriter he disliked at perfect ease. He always remained loyal to his expressionist techniques, always thought of the audience, always got himself the best people. Marketing opressed his artistic side a lot, he couldn’t express himself the way he wanted, he was never really independent. If you want to compare him to someone, do it with… let’s say Oliver Stone, just instead of political affairs and business stuff Hitch’s trademark was fear and suspense.
But his films are awesome, Vertigo, Psycho, N by NW, still among my very favourite movies of all time. If I like QT, do I have to like HItch in the exact same way? Nonsense.
