I’m watching Netflix to make a living – this is my streaming this weekend (June 6-8)
May is an unexpectedly wonderful month for watching movies. From the latest, maybe even the last Mission: Impossible Excellent horror sequel Take her backthe cinema was the place last month.
Streaming is not slacking off, the fun of guilt Fear Street: The Prom Queen And some of the 2024 prestige movies Barbarians It has devastating to my social life.
Netflix’s June programming schedule was just as impressive, with so many movies to watch, so I had to cancel the wedding.
Aside from kidding, I had to choose my own viewing content, this week, I chose an underrated 2012 movie that no one really talked about today – Hitchcock. Don’t be fooled – this is not a regular uterine biography. Instead, it is a fascinating portrait of an artist at the intersection and the creation of one of the most influential films of all time.

That movie is Psychoit is so famous that everyone knows what will happen in it, even if they don’t see it. If you don’t know, here’s a quick plot summary: A woman steals cash from her job, flees to an isolated hotel in the desert, becomes friends with the owner of the hotel, stabs to death while in a shower, and the killer is revealed as the owner.
Very simple, right? But in 1960, because Hays Code strictly prohibited sexual and violent behavior, it was a very clumsy thing, and there was a like PsychoIt’s just not produced by mainstream directors. But Alfred Hitchcock (Anthony HopkinsAlways attracted to the harsh people, the film chronicles his growing obsession that adapts Ed Gein’s true story to the big screen.

“Why this?” His wife Alma (Helen Mirren) Asked early in the movie. The answer is obvious – Master Suspense is boring and he wants to shake it a little. There is a kind of infectiousness and rebellious spirit throughout the process Hitchcock As a great director, to convince his reluctant employees, doubtful studio executives and nervous actors, Psycho It’s a movie worth making.
For every stumbling block, like Paramount initially refused to fund the film, there were wins, for example, when Hitch Cond Cons Censors thought he had deleted the violent sequence they wanted to cut, when in reality he just re-edited the violent sequence. Even when he was 61 years old and was already famous Hitchcock Show directors as mavericks willing to bend rules to achieve their artistic vision.
Marriage scene

Hitchcock It’s not just the man himself – it’s also related to his marriage to Alma. At this point, they have been married for over 30 years, and their partnership expanded to Alma reviewing scripts and contributing valuable notes to her husband’s greatest films. In the movie, their alliance is solid, but it’s not perfect, Alma is totally focused on Psycho.
She finds comfort with Whitfield Cook (Danny Houston), a writer who urged Alma to strike alone. Alma loves her husband, but she is a little envious of her success and has her own ambitions. Hitchcock Marriage appears at a crisis point – What happens when love is no longer enough? The filmmaker’s frontline is great, but when faced with the prospect of losing Alma forever, he is just as scared as the audience for many years.
Stars playing with stars

Movie biopic Hitchcock It’s fun on the surface because you have the chance to see modern movie stars play older movie stars. This is definitely the case here, Jessica Biel Playing an actress Via Mile,,,,, Ralph Macchio As a film writer, Joseph Stefanoand Scarlett Johnson intervention Janet Leigh.
The latter impresses the most, and for good reason – Johansson gains the charm of Leigh’s average girl, and her friendly intimacy with the Hopkins hitchhiking scene, two industry experts who know what they’re doing. But Johnson’s highest praise comes from Li’s daughter Jamie Lee Curtishe said the moments in the movie “shocked me, I looked at Scarlett, she was my mother.” Her performance combines weird parody and real emotions, one of Johnson’s best roles in her impressive career.

If enough Hitchcock Just a biography of a great movie or portrait of a fragile marriage, but this movie is more ambitious than that. It’s also a comment about America’s obsession with real crime and how Psycho Helps give birth to it.
After a quiet month of May’s movies, Netflix will begin in June and begins with a fresh movie pick. George Clooney’s 2010 thriller The American is one of the great movies that arrived on Netflix this month, giving him a chance to play a darker character than usual. but […]
Throughout the movie, the director Sascha Gervasi Intertwined with Ed Gein’s scene (Michael Wincott), he was Norman Bates’ main inspiration. However, this “Ed” is not real – he is Hitchcock’s imagination and anthropomorphism of his residence on all lurid obligations, which is what the infamous serial killer does in real life.

Are these scenarios needed? Not really. They won’t move forward the plot or any insight into actual production Psycho. But I think they are crucial to what Gervasi is trying to say to the movie: Hitchcock’s obsession is ours, and that’s why Psycho It still exists in the public’s imagination today.
Accompanied by scenes of voyeurism and murder and suggestions for incest by the necromancer, Psycho Drawing an unlovable American photo during the myth John KennedyCamelot ruled supreme. That’s why it’s so disturbing, and why another movie – Hitchcock – We have to tell us how revolutionary that photo is – and still so.
But don’t believe me. stream Hitchcock Now on Netflix – just make sure you don’t go anywhere near the shower afterwards.
