    Alfred Hitchcock and Akira Kurosawa movies are the Bases/foundation for Cinematic Storytelling and should be required study for filmmakers

    Wonderful how Del Toro is able to put it into words and to get straight to the point! Great find and awesome editing of the footage! One thing: can it be that Del Toro is referring to Suspicion, where it is a glass of poisoned milk (where the master repeated himself) which had a light bulb inside?
    Anyway: thanks as always, for sharing these true treasures, filled with deep insight from the masters!

    Fantastic. Del Toro is so insightful when speaking about the master Hitchcock and how he left such a profound influence on the art of filmmaking. Great stuff.

    @Turtleproof Před 5 lety +1

    Movies, like all art, are vital to our species. To sit in a dark theater full of strangers is to relax and trust them. To be captivated by a good story is to let go of our hurts and anxieties for a while. Whether we realize it or not, a film is an affirmation of the qualities of our mind, our creativity, a provocative movie brings us into the cinema and we leave it talking about the how, what, and why of the story. For better or worse, we learn something.
    Movies are the chats by a fire we have had for thousands of years in a newer form, this story telling has advanced into new things like video games.

  • @truefilm1556
    @truefilm1556 Před 5 lety +6

    BTW: for some reason I never did the research on Hitchcock's DPs. There is a LOT of iconic camera work in Hitchock's movies. Looks like one of the greats is Robert Burks. He was DP for (including): Strangers On A Train, I Confess, Rear Window, Vertigo, North By Northwest, The Birds and Marnie. That makes him a vital part of Hitchcock's body of work since he was DP for all of Hitchcock's Hollywood movies held in high esteem - except for Psycho, which of course was made by Hitchcock's television film team, DP: John L. Russell (and what an outstanding job they did!). Need also to look into editing.
    For some reason (IMHO that is) Hitchcock never made/directed any truly great movie after Psycho (he was age 60).

      Marnie was also a great movie.

    • @truefilm1556
      @truefilm1556 Před 5 lety

      +James Stewart - Well I think Marnie has a lot of problems. The least of these are the very bad "special" effects. Without any spoilers: the characters and their decisions are unclear and feel far fetched, there are severe pacing issues, there is WAY too much story going on with a ton late into the movie - and entire sections feel very rushed while others feel dragged out. There is no character that provides a center of gravity and someone to identify with. Sean Connery did a great job portraying a sympathetic main character who makes some strange decisions later into the movie. His character lost me at one point and the movie somehow falls apart.
      And, like The Birds, it just somehow ends (even though there is a big reveal in the end which is really well done and not expected). Not in a "let the audience talk about it and make up their own ending" way. More in a "we have a situation that can't be solved, so we just end the movie" way.

      +James Stewart - IMHO that's the most important thing. If you like the movie and it works for you: great! There are some excellent moments in it, but like Torn Curtain and Topaz this is somehow all over the place and disjointed. Far from the very clearly structured, brilliantly shot and flawlessly edited (complete with tons of foreshadowing and hints that reward repeated viewing) masterpieces.
      Hitchcock made two last movies (Frenzy and Family Plot) which were much less ambitious regarding story and structure. Two very good (but far from what the master once was capable of) movies. He was quite old and I think it was a great way to "leave the stage".

      Wolfe 123: orchestrated and also composed and conducted (this is only the string section, yet it sounds complete, because Herrmann came from the violin and knew each and every nuance of the string instrument family). Sorry, I don't mean to split hairs, just to say that Herrmann was genius - easily on my top 5 list of film composers.

    • @tatehildyard5332
      @tatehildyard5332 Před 5 lety

      David Orvik The issue I take with that statement is that everyone cries the death of Cinema when the next addition in the medium comes. Hitchcock said it about sound, Tarkovsky said it about color, Tarantino said it about digital, and I guarantee you someone’s going to say the same thing once VR takes off.

    • @QazwerDave
      @QazwerDave Před 5 lety

      I guess my focus of that comment was on the beginning. After sound was introduced we have seen the "death", again death in quotation, of visual story telling. A fall of show don't tell. In modern times, if a film really utilizes visual story telling, it immediately jumps up into my list of top ten movies of that year. See one of my favourites, Mad Max Fury Road! It becomming shooting of stage playes is a great way of wording this. I too disagree with cinema dying after the introduction of sound. Hitchcock himself used sound. He just focused on other parts of movie making. I myself think modern movies are way more entertaining, and easy to sit through than older films, with some exceptions like, say, Casablanca. Even that with sound. But then again, I was born in '92, and grew up on this, and has started watching older movies in more recent times.

    • @truefilm1556
      @truefilm1556 Před 5 lety +4

      +Smiles for Cinephiles - well I noticed this long ago: many older movies just don't hold up - for two reasons: 1) they were made for the big screen where you can look all around and soak in all the details 2) we live in a MUCH faster world - with way more aggressive image and sound - than even 20 years ago and we are used to very fast pacing and (since long ago) cold openings (no opening titles, they are sparse and come in later while the story already unfolds) to grab our attention. Back in the day the images could breathe and suspense could be held for longer. I fully understand and encourage people to watch older movies at least on as large a screen as possible to minimize the huge difference of pacing.

    • @smilesforcinephiles

      I agree with everything del torro says about Hitchcock, especially the part when he says that if you are a film lover then sooner or later you will encounter him, and it really is true because in order to find some of the best inspiration out there, who better than the master of suspense. Personally I really don't like del torro's films, I don't think that he's a bad filmmaker or anything, I just think that he really isn't for me, but I still agree with everything he says about Hitchcock.
