Windows 98 posted:Stepford Wives has a lot to say about society, gender roles, and the willingness of old white men to feel entitled to pampering and whatever they so desire Windows 98 posted:The main character Joanna is 1000% gorgeous. I think I am in love with her. She seriously is blindly beautiful. Or maybe I am just distracted by her nipples poking through her shirts in every single outfit she wears. It’s hard to tell. Anyway I found her address and I’m driving there now bye. Heh.

I don't know for sure, but given that this was the original poster: I think it's fair to say that most people had a rough idea on what to expect.

Windows 98 posted:I firmly believe the best way to sell a slow burn horror where it “devolves” into the horror is to sell it not as a horror movie and shock the audience. If I ever made a horror movie that’s what I would do. It's a cool idea from an artistic viewpoint, but probably a terrible one in terms of commercial success because theatre-goers absolutely hate not getting the experience they expected.

IIRC, Hitchcock himself once said that the audience is willing to forgive your film just about anything if the ending is good, and I think The Birds proves him right.

TrixRabbi posted:It's operating on so many layers of story telling to probe things like jealousy and paranoia (the scene in the diner where people start blaming Tippi Hedren for the bird attacks is a real tip of the hat to the Freudian implications for why the birds are attacking in the first place) but again there's also a postmodernist break in the film. Yeah, I think it's fair to say that people who like dissecting the social and sexual subtext in a Hitchcock film are going to have a field day with The Birds.

Irreversible occupies the same general space as something like the August Underground trilogy for me: well-crafted, but with little to recommend once you get past the shock value. Its most impressive feat is managing to attract an audience which usually strongly reviles this type of exploitation film.

STAC Goat posted:Although the version I watched was 144 minutes and didn't end on a freeze frame. So I dunno. It doesnt sound like the bad one you guys are describing. Now I'm really confused because the original version of Deep Red is 126 minutes long. There is no 144 minutes cut.
