North By Northwest

 Included in genres this thriller is a very high class beneficial movie. In 1959 Alferd Hitchcock created a very stupendous movie called North By Northwest. This movie was starring Cary Grant. Cary grant plays a man named Rger O. Thornhill.

Roger is a normal ordinary man living an ordinary life. But one day his life takes a turn on adventure, when he is mistaken for a super goverment agent who is then kidnapped by spies. Roger falls in love with one of the spies who sets him up for disaster. Roger panics and tries to explain who he actually is but fails due to the love he's grown for one of the foriegn spies. Roger overcomes many fears and gains responsibility during his duties of being a "spy".

The stunuts in this movie were stupendous and remarkably great. There was one scene where Roger is being chased by a plane and back in the day movie industries didn't have special effects to make the plane even more exotic then it already was. In this scene Roger is facing many difficulties with the plane and the plane tries to kill Roger. Cary Grant portrayed these stunts greatly which leads me to the next topic...acting! All the actors in this movie were marvelous. Each character takes thier role very seriously. Alferd Hitchcock did a splendous job of directing this movie. The use of lines to create tension in the movie is a Hitchcock tradition. The one scene where Roger is in the woods with his love, the trees are the usage of lines. The trees are perfectly spread apart and they are all straight and create space between the two characters. This builds up suspence without the viewer even knowing about the lines.

This thriller is a great family night film. I would suggest this film for a range of audiences from the age of 10-30, because this age group would be the age group of getting that tension built up with in them and actually enjoying it. A mind with many doors to open is the typr of mind that would enjoy this movie. All in all North By Northwest is a very interestin thriller which suits the Alferd Hitchcock style.
