If I hadn’t been told that this movie was a classic, I never would have guessed. Sure, it is a visually stunning film. The world that Hitchcock creates is unlike any other that I have seen. But the movie itself is rather hokey, especially the ending. The movie is a commentary on our voyeurism – I thought that the ending betrayed that theme. This theme was done better in movies like The Conversation.
