Might be getting a hand in the School magazine
I will be attending a small meeting tomorrow that may get me a small part in the school magazine, hopefully for writing film reviews, I don't know how often it would be but it certainly sounds like a lotta fun. I also finally decided on a good idea for my English coursework, something like the changing language in crime films over 60 years or something like that, as a result I watch Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train. Again it had the popular elements of a Hitchcock title and plenty of his dark humour, James Stewart's character in Rope shares a very similar conversation about murder as Bruno in this film. The first act was very good at setting the scene and characters which ultimately lead up to the murder of Guy's wife, I personally felt that the second half was a little bit lacking as it moved at a much slower pace as the rest, however it truly picked up in the final 20 minutes. I never thought a tennis match could be so tense and the final sequence on the carousel was just inspiring and exhilarating. Part dark comedy thanks to Robert Walker's delightful manner to murder and the rest a decent thriller, I think I may just prefer it to North by Northwest... maybe...
