Vertigo

Vertigo is a sensation of whirling and loss of balance, associated particularly with looking down from a great height. Vertigo is another job well done by Alfred Hithcock. Which showed both the true meaning of vertigo and which is filled with many misconceptions.
Vertigo is about a San Francisco detective John ” Scottie” Ferguson( James Stewart) develops a phobia of heights after one of his friends died during a rooftop chase. Then John gets hired as a private detective to follow Madeleine(Kim Novak).
The scenery was dark shadow throughout the whole film which might have been a symbol of mystery. The idea of shadow is a recurring theme throughout the movie, so that Madeleine's death would be the hand of a shadow.
The costumes reminded me somewhat of Scarface, in the mid to late 50's.
The music/ sound effect was of much suspense. It made the film more intersecting then it really was. Its main key was to keep everyone on the edge of their seats and it did just that.
The camera gave the dizzy effect which gives the film its title.
Misconception is a view or opinion that is incorrect because it is based on faulty thinking or understanding and Vertigo consist of a lot of misconceptions. One conception was when John thought that if he steps on a stool then maybe his phobia of heights would go away. John thought that Madeleine was cheating on her husband (thats why he wanted someone to spy on her).
