Alfred Hitchcock has always been considered a misogynous by critics, for his ethereal blonde hair and blue eyes women characters, portrayed as distant and sexually cold creatures, who very often end up to be evil and manipulator. In The Women Who Knew Too Much: Hitchcock and Feminist Theory (1977) Tania Modleski interprets Notorious according to the female point of view, as the film theorist Laura Mulvey had already done in her essay, Visual pleasure and narrative cinema (1975). Mulvey argued…

As a young girl, I spent the vast majority of my time sequestered in my room with my dolls. They helped me to escape my reality. They listened to me without judgement and gave voice to the conversations that I desperately wanted to have but could not. I remember vividly wanting a Barbie that had brown hair and green eyes. I wanted a doll that represented me, one that looked like me or at least seemed like the person I wanted to grow up to be. I don’t remember my age when I saw my first…

The question of whether or not Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti received a fair trial is still in dispute today.

To my thought, North by Northwest is Alfred Hitchcock's most charming film. It has an affable lead in Cary Grant, a hazardous, hot blonde in Eva Marie Saint and a super smooth scoundrel in type of the radiant James Manson. It has a gleaming script, marvelous set pieces and, since I'm obviously being alliterative and exciting score. It is a genuine great of Hollywood silver screen. In North by Northwest, Hitchcock utilizes a blend of these two types of portrayal to tell what a generally complex…

Major General John Buford, was able to hold off the confederate troops until they could be reinforced by a division of infantry. However, the confederates were able to reinforce their troops first, and ended up overwhelming the Federal troops, who ran pell-mell through the streets of Gettysburg until they arrived at Cemetery Hill where the rest of the Federal forces were waiting. On his part, General Lee trough everything he had at the Federal troops during the opening battle, and nearly ended…
