Live Blogging Late-period Hitchcock Whilst Buzzed Off Success And Kindhearted Month-Old Weed

(I found this in an untitled document on my computer this morning. I woke up with a headache. It was considerable.)

Live-blogging - watching Marnie on the best day of my life having just smoked weed from what used to be an American Spirit before a bit of battlefield surgery.

26:10 - this is Hitchcock at the beginning of his late dull period - a part of time I have always read about and proclaimed to understand but have now confined myself to - filling up my netflix queue, sitting on my coffee table staring at me.
Marnie freaks out when she drops red ink onto her arm
HItcock is showing alot of attention to make sure that we know where Marnie's attention lies -
Tippi Hedren - is she a bad choice for this role? her performance is either minimalist or awful
you can feel the sexual yearning in this movie - the sense of perversion - at a very earlier point - from the way the boss man stutters over his barely admitted attraction to a pretty girl, how she was the reason for the hire and so forth.

Tippi is coming in to work on a Saturday. The office is empty. Only Sean Connery is going to be there
How much of this movie is the subtle story of a whore? Tippi shrieks at her mom, "How do you think I got all that money?" and her mother slaps her. You can see the line shifted around, shot with a handheld camera against grimy indie surrounds, a girl screaming "How do you think I got all that money" who's a prostitute - same effect, different audience

30:12 - "Does zoology include people, Mr. Rutland?"

The lightning from outside is giving Tippi a fit - Sean makes his move - has she never seen lightning before? a WINDOW breaks in? What melodrama is this? Oh my god, Sean Connery is a sexual fucking GOD - he just kissed Tippi - did he arrange all of this? is he wealthy enough to do everything?

35:07 - after Sean has promised to take Tippi to the races (after learning she likes horse races)
Tippi: Are you a fan of horses?
Sean: Not at all.
Subtly, this is the story of how a boss - not sleazy, rather gentlemanly - seducing his secretary - and is she trying to be seduced?

The red sets her off again - does she just live in a world without colors? does this happen all the time? what monochrome world is she from? she is someone from the black and white, experiencing color? is this Hitchcock?
Is this "Secretary?" have to watch

he's introducing her to his family. What is going on in this movie?
Mr Rutland -
Hitchcock's lavish surroundings.

Old dude: (father of Sean-ly) Best thing to being inside a man or a woman is the outside of the horse!Shouldn't think you'd find old Mark very interesting - he doesn't even ride!
Ratface! And you misquoted!

Sean takes her out to the stables. To kiss her - they go down a long hallway - "Come out next time... see the horses, have a your pick of the teabag"
Marnie (old Tippi) runs to the bathroom, waits until everyone is gone - hides in the stall for many long moments afterwards, and then there is complete silence - and still she stays there, not staring at anything, looking around nervously - finally, she opens the door

old maid lady - thats the maid from "Rope!"

49:00
Sean - You walk, I ride.
Sean - "Is Edgar your real name?"

She's angry because she thought it was just a one-night stand, or that it was just a job - but Sean's known about her for much longer, he wants a relationship
He is trying to make a ho into a housewife.

59:00 - Sean Connery explains the improbably plot permutations that allowed him to follow her and set up the second half of the movie - he replaced all her money, took a random thing she said and investigated it
Tippi - "no beaus, no gentleman callers, nothing" - she's a VIRGIN!

1:01:20 - Sean Connery decides to marry her
The sister-in-law (also the one good actor in the whole movie) - Kisses him on the steps of his house, just after his wedding to another woman, open mouth, tries to make out with him




(That's all.)
