A Bad Romance

They just don't make them like they use to anymore, really they don't. Sigh, for a long time now there's nothing out there that inspires me to go out and invest my time and money on a movie. Everything is geared towards tween girls and fan boys. What's a person to do if they want to see good quality movies. For me I decided to look into the past.

I had never actually seen an Alfred Hitchcock movie from beginning to end. Sure I've seen bits and pieces of Psycho and Rear Window, but I've never seen the entire picture. And I've never seen anything starring Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. So I decided catch up on my Hitchcock, Grant, and Bergman all in one shot and I Netflixed Notorious.

OMG. I can't believe I waited so long. The movie is really amazing--a masterpiece! It has suspense, humor, beautiful people, and above it's a dark and twisted romance story. The writing is smart and sharp-- it doesn't talk down to the audience, instead it expects the audience to elevate themselves to the high standards of the film. The movie is a testament that entertainment doesn't have to be stupid and banal.  And I could just stare and stare and stare at Bergman and Grant. I loved every second of it, and I can't wait to devour more Hitchcock. Next up, North By Northwest.
