| BetrayedTangy 03/03/22 10:29:57 AM #11: | Strangers on a Train - 1951 Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Starring Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, Robert Walker Prior to this I've seen three Hitchcock movies and to be honest none of them really blew me away in terms of suspense. Sure Psycho was an all around good movie and Northwest had the whole crop duster scene, but none of them actually had me on the edge of my seat. Strangers truly showed me what Hitchcock was capable of and man am I glad I finally watched it. Both Granger and Walker put in some great performances here. I really liked Granger as Guy Haines here. He might be all in all a good guy, but he has this slight darkness to him that makes him all the more relatable. Which is where Walker comes in as Bruno Antony. Bruno represents that darkness and gives it human form. It's constantly lingering over us, reminding us of our faults and mistakes, never going away until we face it head on. It also helps that the performance itself and the camerawork just make him unnerving everytime he's on screen. I really don't want to talk about any of the plot though. This really is a movie best enjoyed with as few spoilers as possible, but it really is a good time and I recommend it to anyone who's a fan of thrillers. 5/5 COMING SOON: Ikiru --- https://www.backloggery.com/betrayedtangerin ...
