Is there anyone who did more to develop the language of film than Hitchcock?

[RyanGrille]

Hitchcock was one of the all time greatest geniuses of cinema

[nightowl]

Strangers on a Train! One of my all-time favourites.

[nathandensley]

No one talks about that Shadow of a Doubt moment! It's one of my favourite of all time.

[alextttttt]

Great video. Little addendum on repetition in Psycho: in a span of 25 mins, Lila + Norman + Arbogast all enter the house, pause, look in 3 directions, and then make a decision about where to go.

[nightowl]

Brilliant analysis, didn't know there was any more for me to learn about Hitchcock.

[leewilson]

He was so great! When asked by Dick Cavett who Hitchcock thought was the greatest director of all time, Hitchcock said..."Walt Disney!" Hitchcock said he has no equal. The audience erupted with applause for both men and especially Disney. God bless them both.

We Should all Admit That Hitchcock was one of the unequaled most noteworthy virtuosos of the Cinema

[deadenbyel]

I love this video, I hadn’t noticed some of these notes before.

[elichilton]

Its a tapestry really. Where on one hand you have Hitchcock, on the other, you have John Ford, F.W. Murnau, or Jean Renoir. Each making their own contribution to cinema. Yes, Hitch did a lot to develop it, but there are definitely others who help create, what we now know as cinematic language.

[ericdavidwallace]

Very informative and well done. Love the accent. thank you !

[MitchelSimpson]

why couldn't this video have come out when I was studying Hitchcock in college

[duhduh]

You can watch his films with the volume on zero and still follow the cinematic language

[Sirrajj]

I got ad of Netflix in a video which is sponsored by MUBI, ironic !?

[trentonkraczek]

Your stuff is always great. Thank you for the time, thought and passion you put into talking about film.

[alejoparedes]

This is one of the best videos on Hitchcock in all of YouTube!

[tadjani]

Honestly, you don't need the near constant background music, it just distracts from what you are trying to communicate.

[saiganesh]

Wow ...your video amused me a lot ...Learnt a lot about cinematic language

[trnygbl]

Great video and analysis! I wish you chose a different background music though. It was really distracting.

[RemoGutierrez]

I love Psycho . What filmmaking. Creepy 4:08 !
