Zoomers have no idea who this man is. Once upon a time he was the most famous director who ever lived. When I mentioned him to my classroom (I'm a substitute teacher for a high school), one guy thought he was Churchill.

Some good alternatives to start watching his movies:
North by Northwest
Rear Window
Psycho
Strangers on a Train (currently being remade by Fincher)
The Birds
>no Vertigo
>Strangers on a Train (currently being remade by Fincher)
Fricking hell. Run that c**t through an industrial mincer already.
That doesn't need to be remade. Nothing good will come of this.
That’s the guy from Batman
Rear Window and Psycho are his only good films.
Along with the rest of his filmography
So freakin’ true zoomers only know about the skibidi toilet and pronouns.
Shower drain matching the eye on a fresh kill, James Bond ripping from the dustcropper chase, Spying on neighbors living in a dollhouse complex, the mama's boy killer dressed up as his mom, Singing Que sera sera as distress signal, Hitch's concept of "ticking time bomb", the "1 take" movie idea with gay-coded killers...you have to repackage it for zoomers cos technology, star culture have changed
>go see Vertigo at uni cinema
>editing is bad
>reaction shots linger a couple seconds too long
>people start to laugh
>couldn't even blame them
feels bad, man
was Hitchwiener over-rated in the first place?
Let's see their films. Film school you said? Maybe one of your collegues has made something of any worth? What would you watch instead?
>uni students are dumbfrick morons
many such cases
yes. he was the nolan of his time
He was dismissed as a glorified technician throughout 40s and 50s and became recognized as an auteur after young French New Wave directors started citing him as an influence and calling him a genius auteur. Chabrol and Rohmer wrote a book on him that was mostly unnoticed, but the book of interviews with Hitchwiener by Truffaut became famous worldwide.
>man who produced constantly unmitigated kino, including vertigo, was overrated
hell no
It sounds like you and everyone at your uni are morons, but that's to be expected since only morons go to uni these days.
GoooOOOOddd EVVVVEnnneingnngnng
>good evening
winston churchhill
At least he was never a substitute teacher.
>exclusively creates boomerslop
>exclusively creates boomerslop
But enough about John Ford
another kino machine
He's a genius but his filmography has aged like dogshit
good stories dont age
Ford is remembered for his contributions to cinema and not for his movies because he never made one that stood out among the rest (that also makes him on of the first auteurs).
surely the searchers stands out
Have you seen any of Ford's previous westerns, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon from the cavalry trilogy for example, or Fort Apache? Sure, The Searchers is the most formidable among them, but stylistically they're all nearly identical.
yes i have. well what do you expect? dancing ponies?
A development in rhythm or tone, the former more importantly, stemming from the lesson Hawks gave Ford in Red River.
that sounds more like a contribution to the cinema though
>Zoomers have no idea who this guy is
You're such a boomer it's unreal.
was his tv show good?
>When I mentioned him to my classroom (I'm a substitute teacher for a high school), one guy thought he was Churchill.
You mean you mentioned him by name, and the guy thought that Hitchwiener was a British PM?
Or you showed them the photo? Because not recognizing a director from a photo isn't really that uncommon. Even if this one is more famous than most others.
>you're supposed to memorize EVERY fricking boomer who ever lived because ...you just are ok!!
the world moves on...
Psycho is still good
the remake is better because it is in colour
That's Orson Welles
I see that fat man's TV show advertised on my Roku. He was a director?
Hey that's Jean Renoir
You are aware that you can like a director and not know or remember what they look like right?
I have no idea what Francis Ford Coppola or Federico Fellini look like
they look like Italians, presumably
>Federico Fellini
I saw a photo where he looks like a fat slob once andprefere to think of him as his alter-ego in 8 1/2 played by Mastroianni
hitchwiener is way more prolific, given his cameos and his tv show
How would they know dumbfrick. That's why you're there teaching them.
Jesus Christ
damn where is this generation going
what's next ? pissing all over our carpet as we stroke our dick to women
I knew him from Alfred Hitchwiener Presents on Nick at Nite before watching his movies. Zoomers probably don't have Paramount Plus or cable.
I am God's number one Hitchwiener hater.
For his entire career he's had contemporaries in the crime, thriller, noir and horror genres who've done exactly what he did but better.
Welles, Powell, Lang - all of them could make accessible entry level films that were more interesting by a mile.
this but unironically
Who the frick said I was being ironic?
Guy named Alfred. He made The 39 Stairs.
Why it's Jean Renoir of course
hitchwiener is like the first person that comes up in a high school media class
t. 19 y/o zoomer
media literacy class?
Not a zoomer. This guy fricking sucks. Frick everyone that props this fat frick up. Well, he’s almost forgotten. Good
Back in the 90s, Universal had this attraction where you observed how to recreate scenes and effects. It was cool. Im sure the space in the park now is Marvelslop.
looks more like Ted Heath than Churchill
i do
I've been a bit curious for a while, was Frenzy to some degree inspired by early giallos or was the similarity merely a result of the giallo basically being a genre of Hitchwiener ripoffs with more extreme content?
The latter. Hitchwiener started developing Frenzy in the early 60s under a different name and initially it was even more brutal, but circumstances allowed him to make it only in the 70s in a more restricted form.
Wouldn't be far-fetched to think Hitchwiener was aware of those italian rip offs and set up to do some kind of pastiche of it
>teacher is upset at children for not knowing something before he taught it to them
You're supposed to teach them moron
>Zoomers have no idea
ftfy
Saw I Confess recently and can confidently say it's underrated. It's not excellent but not as bad as many people say. Montgomery Clift delivers an amazing perfomance, probably second best of his career (after Red River).
