Three articles to read before you do the activity Friday in class:
http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-vertigo-1958
https://neurophilosophy.wordpress.com/2006/10/17/the-psychology-of-alfred-hitchcock/
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/obsession-the-dark-side-of-alfred-hitchcock-8431033.html
Be thinking about how you can connect the ideas from these 3 articles with our broader conversations about:
voyeurism
the Spectacle: shaping your image and being on display
objectification
beauty standards
social class - how are the women differently treated and what's the connection between their treatment and class
In class Friday you will discuss and write about Vertigo and how it draws together much of what we've been talking about in the aesthetics unit! (for a quiz grade)
