Aug 2, 2011 - I find him mysterious... And yet watching him speak is just full of suspense.

For instance, working out the 'w' questions of a scene (who, what, where, why etc) is not emotive alone, but when these directly effect the emotional stakes towards the character, that's when it become suspense. Hitch is distinguishing the two to cease the common confusion that mystery alone is as emotionally effective as suspense. I'd love to know what you think!

Jan 30, 2012 - Sadly many directors think shock and awe makes a good movie. But this is totallyinacurrate, its the suspense that holds a audience and creates a visual image notscene on the screen.Alfred Hitchcock would be apalled at movie making of today.He was truly a remarkable man and a brilliant film maker.

Mar 31, 2012 - Have you guys seen the other 9-11 youtube video titled, "Proof that 9/11 was an inside job!!!!! " ? (Search Youtube.com using the quoted title to see the video. Hint: Cut and Paste the title from here.) That ones says there was no airplanes involved. However, that one sounds like it was made by 2012 a.d. C.I.A. Director Patreaus. New interesting comment posts there too.

Apr 6, 2012 - Master if suspense, indeed! He also is the master of manipulating, soliciting emotions from the audience. Same as Steven Spielberg and his ability to manipulate the audiences emotions. Amazing guys!

Danimal77 Says:

Apr 25, 2012 - Are you sure this is 1970? This is black and white and appears to be from the late 50's...

Danimal77 Says:

Apr 25, 2012 - Again, looking at an interview of him from 1972, he looks about 15-20 years older than he does here.
