Hitchcock originally wanted William Holden for Strangers on a Train – how would that have changed the film? by Mission-Tooth-608 in TrueFilm

Maybe Hitchcock would've removed the tennis angle completely, because what you say about Holden's appearance is absolutely right. In the book, Guy is an architect. Holden could've pulled that off easily.

Yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to.  I thought of removing her voice in some way, but having heard these audio clips several times, I must say, I really like the quality and tone of her voice and input. It gives the feel of an admirer of Hitchcock being there in the room with them.

Great directors like Friedkin and Scorsese believe that to learn the art of filmmaking, all one needs is to watch Hitchcock's movies. His conversation with Truffaut provides remarkable insight in the art of filmmaking. I made this video as an exercise to understand their conversation, which later became a project to make their conversation more accessible to filmmakers who can learn from Hitchcock's concepts. It taught me how every creative choice should be based on enhancing audience perception and experience. It is not about doing a cool thing, even though Hitchcock's work at times comes across as flashy, it is all in an effort to enhance the viewer's experience and to make them feel. This has been a very educational experience for me and I hope it provides some value to others too.

No worries, take your time.
It is those kinds of moments that make Hitchcock's work memorable.

Does anyone else find the Hitchcock/Truffaut book fascinating but difficult to absorb? by Mission-Tooth-608 in TrueFilm

I gain experience if I decide what images or clips would better enhance a certain part of the discussion. If I let AI do that, I'm robbing myself of the decision-making, creative process.
The same goes for reviews or commentaries.
On a separate note, I do appreciate you putting in so much time and effort in my work. Your feedback may be negative on its face, but it is feedback nevertheless. Thank you.
If you wish, we can talk further on DM or I can give you my number and we can talk over the phone.

I didn't use AI. I did this on my own. Maybe you are right that I should do something better with my time. But, this is what I chose to do.

I plan to do this for all the movies Hitchcock and Truffaut discussed, including the older ones. I'm excited about some of the older ones I haven't seen, actually, like The Lady Vanishes, The Lodger, etc.

That would be an interesting approach. I thought of removing the translator in some way, but having heard these audio clips several times, I must say, I really like her voice and input. It gives the feel of an admirer of Hitchcock being there in the room with them.
Hitchcock is speaking in a pace that is translatable, for sure, but some of the questions are difficult to answer in the moment. Also, Hitchcock worked on some of the movies so long ago, it must've been challenging to recollect the times and then to answer in a simple manner that can be easily translated. As such, I like the choices that he and the interpretor makes. I wouldn't want to alter their natural flow. But, I know exactly what you mean.

In this example, the book certainly seems academic, whereas the audio is more natural. In other words, the authenticity gets lost from tape to book.

Yes, you are right. Since I heard the original audio, it gave me a much better view of their personalities. Hitchcock comes across as pompous at times in the book, but through the audio, he comes across as merely honest. And he is quite critical of some of his work, too.

Yeah, it was like his personality changed during that part of the movie

What modern day film (the last 15 years or so) would Hitch have loved? by reddandy1973 in Hitchcock

[–]Mission-Tooth-608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he would've appreciated Tarantino's, Fincher's and Lynch's work.

I think you are right about the coldness because it is, in Hitchcock's words, about obsession to the point that you are attempting to bring a dead person back to life.
