this is a pleading for the need for good movies.
"I don`t understand why we have to experiment with film. I think everything should be done on paper. A musician has to do it, a composer. He puts a lot of dots down and beautiful music comes out. And I think that students should be taught to visualize. That`s the one thing missing in all this. The one thing that the student has got to do is to learn that there is a rectangle up there - a white rectangle in a theater - and it has to be filled. "
Alfred Hitchcock [British film director and producer. 1899-1980]
Movie lines from Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds" [1963]Melanie Daniels: Just what is it you're looking for, sir?
Mitch Brenner: Lovebirds.
Melanie Daniels: Lovebirds, sir?
Mitch Brenner: Yes. I understand there are different varieties. Is that true?
Melanie Daniels: Oh yes, there are.
Mitch Brenner: Well, uh, these are for my sister, for her birthday, see, and uh, as she's only gonna be eleven, I, I wouldn't want a pair of birds that were... too demonstrative.
Melanie Daniels: I understand completely.
Mitch Brenner: At the same time, I wouldn't want them to be too aloof, either.
Melanie Daniels: No, of course not.
Mitch Brenner: Do you happen to have a pair of birds that are... just friendly?

Very interesting composition, and good b/w. Really looks like an hommage to the great Alfred H.
Thanks for your comment, cheers!
oh, old hitchcock days. just last night I was at the cinema and seeing what I've seen I know what you mean by "need for qualitative movies"
Excellent image and initiative.
Great movie and these three are waiting for the rest to arrive. I hope you've got enough time to find a hiding place ;) Great composition with the diagonal lines and the grain and vignetting ads to the atmosphere of Birds!
Cool! Great capture, very well composed.
I like the diagonal placement of the wires and the general simplicity of the shot. Very effective.
Nicely composed...they posed for you:-) The shot reminds me of a Holga capture.
Cool film grain effect.
All the beauty in the simplicity.
Picture reminds me indeed of a movie, great composition. Well done!
