Sir Alfred Hitchcock
was born on 13th of august, in the year of 1899. He was a legendary film
director. However, he had a rough childhood. He was very lonely with limited
number of friends and this loneliness was compounded by the fact that he was an
obese. His father died when he was only 14 years old. After his father's
death ,he pursued his study from London County Council school of
engineering and navigation in popular,
London.After completing his study there, he became draftsman and advertising
designer with a company called Henley's.
Hitchcock
's film carrer is more than 50 years. in English film review, his films are
famous for psychological horrors, thrilling plots with crime,murder and
violence. Hitchcock was famous for his unique style of direction. I was
spellbounded when i first watched his film "psycho". It virtually
turned me into a Hitchcock fan since then. I must say that he introduced many new style of photography like the camera
used to move in a certain way as if it mimics a person's gaze. All this coupled
with horror and thrill made each of his films memorable in its own way. He may
be considered as the father of
psychological horror genre in Hollywood film industry. He used to take shots in
such a way that it striked terror, anxiety, fear in the viewers mind. In
english movie review, his films deserves special mention for twisted endings
and his plots used to have sexual undertones. According to me, some of his masterpieces are :
·
psycho
·
The 39
steps
·
Notorious
·
The lady
vanishes
·
Rear
window
·
vertigo
·
The
birds.
Hitchcock has also
done some cameo roles in his own films. I can undoubtedly say that Hitchcock
shaped the geometry of modern cinema
making in Hollywood and a director like Hitchcock can be safely called a legend
who comes once in a lifetime.
