Reading the reviews of people who didn't appreciate this movie, I am struck by the complete void that must exist in their brain where there is supposed to be some semblance of artistic appreciation, intelligence, and creativity.
Bill Hader and Conan O'Brien brought me to this film, based on their endless love and support for the film. It does not disappoint and is a tour de force for how to make an ambitious, fantastic, and exciting film based on the smallest possible premise - a man stuck in a room.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I struggle to comprehend how much of an idiotic Luddite you must be to not understand how good a film this is.
"The shots are repetitive" because Hitchcock was the first director to use these shots, which became so iconic, they were copied everywhere. This film was made in 1954 and has shots that would be at home in 2024. That is how ahead of his time Hitchcock was with his directorial style.
Truly a lesson on how to take the smallest possible premise for a plot, a man stuck in his apartment, and spin it into a deep, evocative, and compelling story about a murder mystery.
The Golden Age of Hollywood has plenty to complain about, but this film is indicative of a bygone era that we can only hope to return to. We just don't have directors like Hitchcock anymore, able to create a film so ahead of its time.
If you are whining and complaining about not understanding this movie, maybe go back to watching the Fast and the Furious movies, maybe that is more on your level. Considering that excellent writing, directing, and production don't seem to be your forte.
