One of Alfred Hitchcock's great movies Vertigo is now known as "The Greatest Movie of All Time" well I can accept that with other people but I think the movie is good. But then after watching it I did wonder about the lesson the movie was trying to tell us and it's all about the ending. People question still to this day I mean what could it mean well I thought about and I might think I have the answer.
WARNING! to talk about the ending I have to talk about the movie and there are going to be major spoilers so if you didn't see the movie I would suggest to watch the movie first before you read this blog, but if your still reading then let's begin.
Vertigo is about a detective named John "Scottie" Ferguson who was trying to solve a case on the top of a building, but then while chasing someone the police officer that was with him ends up falling down the building and gets killed in the process and then John ends up being afraid of heights and is called into early retirement. But then he meets a person named Gavin who asked him to help him follow his wife named Madeleine Elster. He agrees to follow her and then after getting to know her, he falls in love with her and wanted to be with her. But then she commits suicide by falling off a church tower and then he gets depress and ends up going in shock after what happened. But then he meets up with another women named Judy who looks just like Madeleine, so he decides to take a chance on recreating the one he loves and make Judy look like Madeleine and take her to the tower to try to confront his fear. But then after he conquers his fear he finds out she tricked him into thinking that Madeleine is dead and that Gavin killed her and Judy disguise as her to help him with the crime. She admits that she is in love with John ever since he met him, but then Judy falls to her death because she thought she saw the ghost of the real Madeleine and it ends up being a nun who was just trying to ring the big bell on the top of the tower. Then John looks over at what happen to Judy and then the movie ends.
O.K I know I'm not the official person to judge Alfred Hitchcock's movies for the lack of sense they have. But people still to this day question the ending there were theories. Most say that it's suppose to teach how a lie can go to far and it could end up bad for you in the end. Others say that it's just a lesson to conquer your fears and never give in to pressure. But I have my own theory and it's not like other of Hitchcock's films had this kind of lessons like this. The lesson in "Psycho" is to not trust everyone you see because they could end up being bad people Also to be careful of where you go because they could be there and in "The Birds" is to expect the unexpected,I suggest you see the movies to know what I'm talking about.
My Theory on the movie Vertigo is this maybe it's trying to tell us 2 things from two of the Main Characters from Judy's side it's to not let a lie go too far because the lie to person could end up being the person you want to be with for the rest of your life you might end up losing him or your fate will end in tragedy and from John's side it's to conquer your fears and if you do you might find important information in the end.
But you can look in your owns ways how you describe the movie I still say it's a good movie but not one of Hitchcock's best but still it's a movie worth watching and I recommend it for people who liked to see Mystery films.
O.K FC100 signing out and see you on my next blog.
