There are very few directors who appear in the history of the movie and the audience knows their names. Certainly, film fans can speak the names of Gillmo Del Toro, David Lean, and many filmmakers in the meantime. However, only a few people can gain the same name as a big movie star for ordinary spectators. At this time, there may be only four people: Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, and Martin Scorsese. Think about these coaches what you like. But they are producing a very good, memorable symbolic movie, and the audience knows enough to list their names and their surnames.
However, the fact that these people continue to make movies even in the era when reviews are aggregated online, and there are so many critics to access sites like MetACRITIC and Rotten Tomatoes, so all critics are selected. Is almost impossible. You can make a perfect movie based on the standards of those sites. It is especially difficult for MetAcritic. Metacritic is more careful about which critics and news agencies to consolidate, and there is also the fact that a specific score is defined by a specific score. If your review is positive, that’s not enough. A perfect score must be a really perfect score. Good example: Spielberg’s highest rating on this site is 95 points in the “Schindler List”. Tarantino has also won the same score in the 1994 masterpiece “Pulp Fiction”. Nolan’s highest evaluation work is 94 points in Dunkirk, and Scorsese has been ranked high in the quartet because the 1973 drama “Mean Street” won 96 points.
Anyway, there is a director who boasts not only one in Metacritic but also several “perfect” movies. Definitely one of the most famous directors in history. It is Alfred Hitch Cock. to be honest? You may be a little surprised when you watch his movie with 100 unbearable 100 points.
According to Metacritic, Alfred Hitchcock supervised three “perfect” films.
Paramount movie
Hitchcock is one of the most symbolic filmmakers in history, especially in his films, which used suspense very and consistently. However, the hitch has also been recognized by the viewers because he did both in the introduction of the anthology TV series episodes and the cameo appearance in his movie. And, of course, what kind of movie he made! Before and after going from the United Kingdom to the United States, Hitchcock has released an amazing and tense movie that helped to establish future adventure movies, thriller movies, and horror movies. As I mentioned above, he has the most many movies with 100 points in MetAcritic. Three of his movies are on the website.
The first of Hitchcock’s masterpiece may come to the first thing. Above all, his 1960 horror movie “Psycho” will be listed. It’s not just because this work is one of the most unforgettable death scenes in history. There, a friendly Marion Crane (Janet Lee) is stabbed by a ferocious man in the shower. A mysterious female attacker. “Psycho” is also a horror and suspense expert thanks to the scenes and some other scenes. However, this movie is great, but MetACRITIC has only 97 points.
Now, let’s rewind the Hitchcock’s Slam Bang Adventure/Sliller Northwest, starring Hitchcock’s long -standing co -worker, Kelly Grant, for a year. This movie in 1959 is a typical example of a different incident, one of the hitch’s favorite metaphors. In the film, a reliable New Yorker must be accused of murder and escape all over the country to clear the stigma. As with “Psycho”, there is an image of a movie that tries to overtake a brutal pesticide sprayer in the middle of a corn field where there is nothing. This is a wonderful, exciting movie, one of the best movies of Hitchcock … and MetACRITIC has no 100 points, instead of 98 points. Then, what about the 1963 horror movie “Bird”, which has the influence of the director? It’s a movie filled with eerie inclusion and impressive scenes, and MC is not a perfect score. Unfortunately, I could only get 90 points.
No, according to the website, there are three “perfect” Hitchcock movies. Please drum roll. “Dizziness”, “Notorus”, “back window”.
There are not only three “perfect” movies in Hitchcock
Paramount movie
Context is the key to fairness. In the United States after World War II, the 1946 thriller movie “Notorious” and the 1954 “back window” metratic pages in the United States forced the prosecuted widow to cooperate with the Nazis. I also want to pay attention to both. A thriller depicting a man who seems to be spying in a murder case in an apartment opposite his house while falling asleep recently. There are less than 20 reviews for each review. Similarly, most new releases have at least 30 scores reviews. Again, there are 32 reviews on the “Dizziness” page, and the 1958 psycho thriller (developed mainly by a former police officer possessed by a ghost who falls in love with a woman who should have traveled) is MetAcritic. I have earned 100 points. The surprise gained here is not that Alfred Hitchcock’s website has three full -score movies, and these movies are a lucky winner with a 100th point. (For the author, only “dizziness” and “notorius” are really perfect, but not all are perfect) … Yes, there are only three perfect movies on the Hitchcock site. It should be more.
Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that all three films of 100 are all in a wonderfully summarized Hitchcock’s personal taste and his creative style. The “back window” and “dizziness” are greatly leaned to the peeping elements that Hitchcock preferred. (In “Psycho”, Norman Bates, who plays Anthony Parkins, is hardly known about the actual person, but remember the scene where Marion Crane is dressed in.) “Vertigo) ]Uses techniques stylishly and boasts unique expressions. A dream sequence that talks to the protagonist’s possessed spirit. In other parts, in “Notorian”, Hitchcock’s affection for romance (Ingrid Bergman does not look more nice here), and the Federal Investigator who plays Grant plays a kind of self -role. , The willingness to make intense demands for the leading women is fused. An important substitute for the director.
Basically, it’s best to start with these three if you have to rely on Metacritic to check which films of this unpromial master are checked first. Metacritic sites do not necessarily reflect viewers’ perceptions, but film directors like Alfred Hitchcock were reflected in this case perfectly.
