Find a flaw.
Long. Pacing shit for this day and age.
Beautiful as all hell though.
>>70607455
Isn't it ~2 hours?
>>70607403
I never got the appeal of Vertigo or Hitchcock in general. Not for me, I guess.
>>70607403
It's boring as fuck with a beta lead acting like a chad
>>70607403
It's impossible.
>>70607403
Most overrated Hitchcock. It's just dull. Especially after the big spoiler.
>>70607455
South by Southwest is twice as boring. Come to think of it, all Hitchcock's films have shit pacing for this day and age.
>>70607727
Don't forget to take your Ritalin.
Wow, this is actually depressing looking at these replies.
>>70607476
2:08 with credits
>>70607403
It's my favourite film
>>70607403
James Stewart.
>>70607403
I don't get why people like this at all.
Rear Window, Psycho, and Birds are all much better.
>>70608895
>Birds
>Better than anything
The letter writing scene that Hitchcock didn't even want in the movie. It completely changes the mood of the third act.
Awful pacing, plot goes to shit towards the end, the ending itself makes me LOL out loud every time I see it.
>>70607526
Nigga you aint shittin on Based James Maitland Stewart!
>>70608952
Pacing is all over the place, but it's got that comfy feeling that makes it enjoyable.
Finds the woman he's looking for
She says she isn't
Courts her and has her dress up as the woman
Surprise it was her all along and he knew
She falls to her death
Piss poor ending
>>70609114
Fantastic analysis my friend!
I just started watching Vertigo on Netflix and it had really bad, hamfisted, contrived, expository screenplay
>But what about my Vertigo? You know, ? Vertigo! the acute fear of heights where I suffer extreme dizziness and nausea. I first developed vertigo on the job as police officer, but they say it will never go away.
>but hold on weren't we engaged some time ago? Ah yes back in college, those were the years. But you cancelled our engagement, remember?
And then there was this really boring part where he just followed this guy's wife while she went shopping so I got bored ~20 minutes in and decided to read ahead on the plot synopsis on wikipedia to see if it became interesting or suspsenseful or had any dramatic intrigue.
And it didn't.
What a bad, melodramatic, implausible, dumb storyline.
Who even cares? how did she fall in love with a detective following her in a couple of days?
Why is this thought of as one of the best movies ever? It's total shit in every way compared to say The Godfather.
Are people so shallow that they wank over this poorly scripted movie with a bad plot just because of the zooming camera effects?
Overall, 0 stars. Not enjoyable at all. Such a bad movie I couldn't be bothered to finish.
>>70608100
mine too
>>70609300
How can you be so dense? Jesus Christ.
>>70608973
>Perfect pacing, plot goes to heaven towards the end, the ending itself makes me cry out of joy every time I see it.
ftfy
>>70607727
the 39 steps struck me as decently paced
he wrong man is ok too.
>>70609300
is this pasta? the film is great and comfy, capeshit and starwars lovers won't understand
Beautiful looking film. Impeccable craft....
Basically. He's afraid of heights...
The twist was underwhelming...
Thin story. Overrated.
If this movie were made today, it would be dead on arrival. Unless you moved the third act to the top of the Empire State Building or something... To up the visual ante and appeal.
Not that it helped The Walk any.

Is this how you defend objectively bad, clunky, expository writing that violates "show, don't tell"?
Because if it is , it sounds like you both have low standards and low IQ.
Excuse me for expecting more from works of fiction.
The ending was kinda stupid. She get's startled by a nun so she kills herself? Really? Other than that perfect.
>>70609701
IQ does not reflect intellect, but only smart enough people are capable of doing proper research to find that out.
>>70609701
What's the point in defending a film against an ignoramus such as yourself. You have quite clearly demonstrated that you can't comprehend film theory, let alone the context of a film. You are in no position to make any assumptions regarding ones IQ.
>>70609300
if you didn't finish the film you have no say fagggg
>>70609910
On the contrary. It is impossible to have an impressive intellect if you're unable to infer simple patterns from sequences, which is what G-factor tests, because pattern recognition is the most fundamental skill needed for creating working models of how the world works and then exploiting those models to improve your circumstances.
kill yourself, brainlet

>I'm too mentally handicapped to substantiate my assertions whatsoever so I will rely on insults and more empty claims
Keep working in retail/fast food.
>>70607403
There's none. It's just one of those movies that you can watch a thousand times and love it again and again.
>>70609397
But the wrong man is much slower. It's a beautiful and sad film though. Love Vera Miles.
>>70610245
Still stupid.
>>70607403
It wasnot tremendous
Rear Window is far superior.
>The BFI put this ahead of Citizen Kane
>>70610830
Not far but I do prefer Rear Window a bit more. It's just the comfiest movie ever imo.
>>70610245
I just re-watched it to be sure. I really don't buy that explanation. I think she's just trying to rationalize a shitty ending.

stop saying "comfy", it's so fucking cringe
>>70610376
Out of morbid curiosity (and because I don't care to delve much further into this discussion of Vertigo with you) What films from this period would you champion over this? Moreover, what are some of your favourite films?
>>70607455
>>70607727
>>70608973
13 year olds on /tv/ hates any movie where shots are not cut withing 3 seconds
>>70610830
This
>>70610917
Usually I would agree with you but I feel it defines what I feel when I rewatch this movie.
>>70610139
>most fundamental skill needed for creating working models of how the world works
yet you don't have that ability considering the fact you're unable to do research to find out IQ tests and intellect have no correlation
>>70610909
>that shitty ending
>the horrible delivery of the nun
>she just starts ringing the bell for no reason
lmao
>>70610843
There were more critics in 2012 who mentioned Vertigo than CK in their top 10s, no big deal.
>>70607403
It's my favorite movie and I'd say its only flaw is that it is difficult to have sex with it.
Kim Novak can't act.
>>70612189
>Kim Novak
still sexy though
