Hitchcock

Psycho - Vertigo - Rear Window....just mentioning a few of Alfred Hitchcock's movies which I guess we have all encountered or seen on TV/DVD .... and it seems to be a like/dislike relationship to his movies as almost none are neutral to what they have seen.... and is it not interesting that a 1950s movies can still makes those small hair on your body rise in horror??!! Guess that tells us that modern days' special effects still compeed with the old "simple" effects :o)

I have just seen hitchcock with Anthony Hopkins and Hellen Mirren as the Hitchcocks portraying the time wen they struggled to make the movie Psycho - revealing why Janet Leigh's scream in the famous scene with the shower curtain are so realistic. I was surprised to learn that secret and still you can not help laughing when you find out - and let me just say, he was not being nice to his leading ladies.

The 50s

Picture is from a commercial for some clothing label in Copenhagen - I read about them in an online news paper, but I can not remember which label it actually is..... Buhu!!

For me this picture is so 50ish - knowing that the picture is inspired by cubism and art style from the 20s - maybe is is the hair....maybe the pipe..... I can put my finger on it really, but yet it speaks to me...

And no - I do not like to be close to somebody smoking, I grew up being a passive smoker and always hated the fact, that my clothes smelled of smoke no matter where I went. I embrase the smoking policies that are more and more common worldwide, as it offers me the choice not to be in an smoking area.

Sometimes I wonder how my life would have been if I lived in the 50s..... Do you?
