mvie mu-1017881: Something staring someone oh you know who about something something

Wed, 3 Dec 2008 00:53:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author paulsavage - Glancing at the reviews I can perhaps expect that what follows will not be particularly popular. Rope is famous for its one continuous “take.” Um . . . to quote a professor of mine who loved movies but didn’t care for...

mvie mu-1017881: Give a Man Enough Rope....

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 13:27:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author carstairs38 - I must have started with some of Hitchcock's weirder efforts. I almost completely wrote him off after seeing three of his "classics" that I thought were pretty bad. But I kept on and began to find some gems. The latest of those is Rope, a study...

mvie mu-1017881: Rope - An Overlooked Hitchcock Gem

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 23:39:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dragonfire88 - Alfred Hitchcock became known for creating several wonderful, suspenseful movies. I have seen and enjoyed several of them and even own a few. There are still some of his movies that I haven rsquo;t seen. I recently watched Rope< b>< i> for the...

mvie mu-1017881: The Moose Hole - Murder or Justifiable Homicide?

Thu, 30 Mar 2006 17:23:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mickeymoose15 - Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope, the first of what would eventually become four collaborative efforts with actor and close friend James Stewart, was based not only on a popular British play, Rope’s End (the re-titling given to the play when it came...

mvie mu-1017881: Rope (1948) by Hitchcock -- Take one look. Or should I say "Look! One take!"

Sat, 20 Dec 2003 12:24:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author flamepillar - I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Rope were one of Hitchcock's most intimidating projects. You can dazzle people with birds and baffle them with rear window stalkers, but very few appreciate the vision and talent it takes to manipulate the...

mvie mu-1017881: Alfred Hitchcock’s Rope (1948)

Mon, 10 Feb 2003 17:51:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - Alfred Hitchcock, the supreme master of the thriller genre, has probably been cussed and discussed more than any film maker in the past century. Now recognized as a genius, he was always one, recognized or not. New editions of this unusual...

mvie mu-1017881: A Halloween Dialogue with Dostoevsky

Thu, 31 Oct 2002 20:40:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author panguitch - While much can be said about the differences between film and literature, the fact remains that the quality of all but the most experimental of films is first and foremost dependent on its screenplay. Even a director like Alfred Hitchcock, who at times...

mvie mu-1017881: The Rope Helped The Master

Mon, 15 Jul 2002 23:10:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author myepinionis - Rope is one of Hitchcock's guinea pig films in a way, and one that is most responsible for making him the Master of Suspense. Rope was Hitchcock's first film in technicolor, the first time to work with James Stewart, and the first as an...

mvie mu-1017881: Niles and Frasier Kill Their Friend for Kicks

Mon, 30 Jul 2001 20:21:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JediKermit - A psycho at work recommended this movie to me--he's a Competition Juggler with several State Championships under his belt, and his a really nice guy, but my only other conversation with him about movies was when he talked about "Full Metal Jacket," and...

mvie mu-1017881: Nothing will hold you as tight as HItchcock's Rope!

Thu, 19 Jul 2001 18:34:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobthewidget - An absolutely magnificent experiment in film making by Alfred Hitchcock.

The film tells the tale of two young homosexuals (Farley Granger and John Dall in fine form) who in order to obtain intellectual thrills and enlightenment murder a...

mvie mu-1017881: enough Rope

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 01:54:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author penguin22 - I know there must be a different versions of Rope out there, because the movie I saw isn’t the movie everybody else talks about.

It’s kind of the same. . . . Two swelegant smarty-pants college boys kill a third college boy with a...

mvie mu-1017881: Psycho thriller!

Wed, 2 Aug 2000 02:56:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kg22384 - Long before Psycho was even a twinkle in Hitchcock's eye, or the subtle horror of Rear Window was ink on paper, there was Rope. A magnificent character study, in real time, of the warped logic of two psychology students as they morbidly choke their...

mvie mu-1017881: Murder as an art form

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 11:43:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author edson - Rope begins with two men strangling a third. They put the body in a large trunk, and begin preparing to host a dinner party for the dead man's friends and relatives... Such a beginning could only be the work of Alfred Hitchcock.

The...

mvie mu-1017881: Best of a Box Set?

Tue, 18 Apr 2000 15:43:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Eupolis - To begin, I bought an Alfred Hitchcock box set a few weeks ago. I've gotten about halfway through it. The great thing is that I knew nothing about the plots of over half the movies in it.

So far, my personal favorite is Rope. And this is...

mvie mu-1017881: The Talented Mr. Hitchcock

Wed, 5 Apr 2000 04:48:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mr_Scrooby - I could not help but dig the following things about "Rope":

* Naturally it's pretty neat how the movie is a series of eight-minute takes (the maximum length of a film reel in 1948). But what's even neater is how, in one of the takes,...

mvie mu-1017881: Rope

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 23:58:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author stephany - I saw this as a double feature with 'Vertigo' and it was one of my best movie-going nights of the Hitchcock festival at a nearby theater. I left the theater thinking about the difference between having ideas intellectually and living them, about the...

mvie mu-1017881: Hitchcock's Finest

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 22:41:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chillas - Rope was Alfred Hitchcock's first film as a director independent of the suffocating studio system. Based in concept on the Leopold and Loeb murders, the film centers on two men who murder a friend of theirs for fun. To make the crime more...

mvie mu-1017881: Hitchcock Unfiltered

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 17:28:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author omar107 - In "Rope", Hitchcock gives you just enough of it in the opening shot to hang your suspicions that this is a typical Hitchcock film. Two men kill another with a rope. That's the opening! It's simply too enthralling for you to even...

mvie mu-1017881: Will pull you in and not let go

Sun, 19 Dec 1999 04:55:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author energy81 - There are two key reasons why I absolutely love this film. One is the style of filmmaking as the camera seems to only cut once throughout while what you are looking at never ceases to entertain (they pulled off this wonderful trick to reload the camera...
