As a cinematographer, I see Alfred Hitchcock as one of the most influential people in the history of the silver screen. My synopsis of his films, however, will be through the eyes of a young man that has witnessed tragedy. I could sit and rant and rave about how Hitchcock was a great director, his films were awesome, etc., but I"ll spare you of that. I would much rather discuss the attack, but since I must write this paper about his cinema work, I"ll try and compare the two movies we watched to the situation. I"ll start first with Rear...
Trade Center. Let God bless all of them. I, for one, cannot believe the scenes I"ve been seeing on the T.V. It"s like watching a film in itself, like it"s not real. I do know, however, that as an American, and as a cinematographer, that I will keep trying to watch the news, and keep up on the developments.

Hitchcock is like a myth more than a man. We could only think about what he would say about something like this, but I would imagine he would have made a great film about it, exposing the injustice of terrorism.
