116 years ago, August 13, 1899, the great master of the horror film was born, Knight and Troll Alfred Hitchcock. The knight he was in the most literal sense of the word - the English Queen was built him in Sirs, and the troll - in the most modern one.
Alfred Hichkok loved rough, although harmless jokes. He could organize the evening and inform someone one of the guests that it would be a masquerade. As a result, the guest had to be loathed in a costume of Turkish Sultan among people in tuxedo. A man who does not endure the smell of fish, he brought any many nor little - four hundred smoked fish. Under the elegant ladies and impressive gentlemen, he put on the penny pillow chair. But we love him not for it.About human nature and about life
- If I won't be myself, who will be then?
- There is nothing worse than a closed door.
- Now, it seems, it has become fashionable to stir capsules with messages to give people of future centuries some idea about us. I prepared my own. I placed several rather large pieces of dynamite, powder and nitroglycerin. My capsule should operate in the 3000th year. She will show them who we really are.
- Fear is not that it is so difficult to understand. In the end, didn't we recognize fear in childhood? Nothing changed since the Red Hood collided with an evil gray wolf. Today, we scare exactly the same as yesterday. It's just another wolf.
- Kalambourg - the highest form of literature.
- We do not recommend suicide as a lifestyle.
- Give people bliss, the same bliss that they test, awakening from the nightmare.
About acting craft
- The best movie actor is a person who knows how to do anything exclusively well.
- The best actors, of course, at Disney. Bad actor he just erases.
About women and love
- A woman who undresses publicly reminds me of a director who at the very beginning of the film reports a randering.
- Love is a batch of Bridge, in which everything is bluffing: Men - to win, women - to not lose.
- I have always said that a woman should be like a good horror movie: the more the place remains imagination, the better.
About movies and television
- In the artistic cinema, the director is God, in the documentary - God is a director.
- For me, the only way to get rid of your fears is to relieve a film about them.
- Ideas come from everywhere.
- The movie consists of the screen and the set of chairs that need to be filled.
- The film is the life from which the stains bored.
- One of the most important contributions of television in history is that it returned the murder in his place - in our homes.
- Silent films - that was the purest movie.
