Take a Peek from his Rear Window.

Where is Anthony Hopkins? That department did a very good job in prosthetics and cosmetics as much as everyone else iconic like Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep), Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams), maybe even throw in the most iconic, Jesus Christ (Jim Caviezel). Russovoir was sent straight to the glory days of Alfred Hitchcock. Again, it comes naturally to Hollywood but, it infallibly awes.

Juxtaposition of Hitchcocks

Just like the photo above, we only come to know of Hitchcock superficially. Or at least this generation. And maybe the one before this. This is why presumably the biography had to be filmed; to have a cinematic scope of why and how such a powerhouse is a cultural icon; that although while his films precedes him, he's still yet just a man.

Immediately, the story sucked Russovoir in an uninterrupted silence. Of the lambs. Ha! Sorry, it was right there. If you were a little bit like Russovoir, it's always fascinating to know and understand - it's a privilege - the lives of the influential, of the writers of history. At some point, we got to know of Alfred Hitchcock, and by we Russovoir means the movie aficionados. Hitchcock invented suspense. The film was clear in manifesting the passion (close to obsession) he had in the making of his make-it-or-break-it film Psycho (1960). The aforementioned fed Hitchcock the desired screams long after you realize you now find yourself afraid instead, he had scared love away.

"You're my only Hitchcock blonde."

Truly, behind every great man, there is a great woman.
Here, she is Alma Reville (Helen Mirren).
