When I was in high school, I took a class called "Mass Communication," and that's when I decided I was going to major in it. And I did. And then I became a reporter. (And I took some pride in the fact I knew what I wanted to do ever since sophomore year of high school unlike people who weren't sure what they wanted to do sophomore year of college. But, you know, then I changed my mind, went back to school and became a teacher. It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, that's what they say isn't it?)
Anyway, part of that class was about film, and I watched some really great classics in there -- Citizen Kane, Battleship Potemkin, Jaws and North by Northwest.
And oh how I loved North by Northwest. That plane scene? The best.
I love this film :)
ReplyDeleteOh Cary Grant.

Hitchcock's films have dazzling artistry in them. Much more than one would expect from movies that were popular. This one is a masterpiece, as are so many of his films. And who doesn't love the actors he used?!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great film. I love how Cary Grant runs and jumps and climbs and gets chased and falls down and his suit and hair still look immaculate!
ReplyDeleteGreat movie! I love how the train goes through the tunnel... hm. And I like how they gloss over how the Grant character is drenched in toxic chemicals but he doesn't freak out. I guess that would dilute his manliness.
ReplyDeleteI went into "mass communications" as well as one major area of study.
I freaking love this movie! Also, the suit that Cary Grant wears is one of the most famous suits ever.
ReplyDeleteI need to watch more films! Cary Grant is such an iconic actor and I haven't seen this x x x
