Hitchcock explains about CUTTING

[Relativisticism]

The top two comments are addressing the same issue that he is talking about, however they are jumping to conclusion just like he described. They assume he is pissed off at the interviewer for turning around his words, because of the cut to his face after the comment and since you don't get a follow up it is left as that.

[randomperson31]

@Relativisticism That's the magic of cinema

[rockyfan94]

this guy speaks slower than gary barlow, fascinating stuff nevertheless

[SheridanODonnell]

I'm a little confused about this negativity towards Hitchcock and how Griffith and Eisenstein founded these principles. Did you not hear him: "Which Griffith invented, it's true." He knows what's become before him. Just because he wasn't part of the initial founding creators of cinema doesn't mean his work is invalid or not progressive. Look at his body of work. He's incredible. I watched "Psycho" for the first time a week ago and could not take my eyes from the screen. The control.

[hzhangcom]

Hitchcock and Chris Nolan talk and look nit same.

[BMPinc]

This is great and part of an interview with Hitch that's available on DVD (avail on Netflix), called, "A Talk with Hitchcock". WORTH SEEING!

[probinsiya]

did he just take credit for Metric montage and the Kuleshov effect?

[glaukus666]

@probinsiya he didn't take credit for the Kuleshov effect, he just pointed out this capability of film. Interviewer was hasty to appoint credit.

[rejector13]

genius

[WalterLiddy]

Damn I'm learning more watching interviews with Hitchcock than I have from years of studying other sources. Truly the master, not only of suspense, but of cinema.

[radionr3]

@WalterLiddy can't really see what he's teaching that isn't already obvious.

[nickwcs]

dreamBIG fucking amazing song gramatik



[aslad]

Gramatik.

[DementedBCecil]

the interviewer's comment was just stupid.

[KeliMutiso]

The one and only Alfred Hitchcock :)

[PantherMarie88]

Oh how editing has evolved x3

[LeLimeLine]

Hitchcock loved Les Diabolique, for good reason.

[mscinematic40]

@brassmonkeyjew: uhhh if ur implying that U don't for those particular reasons, then that's stupid. Older movies actually have class and DO make sense if u have a brain when you watch them. Hello? Hitchcock? Casablanca? Streetcar Named Desire? What planet do u come from??

[shanangus]

A man who loves babies. Perfectly innocent....

[squaferno]

Oh my gosh, this taught me so much!

[KaiChippi]

"in the first place we had in it the murder of a woman, of a nude woman. as you know, you could not take the camera of a nude woman ........................... being stabbed to death." LOL

[Ladygagsalot]

The irony here is that one gets the impression that Alfred Hitchcock is annoyed with the interviewer when in fact it's the editing.

[MrDrHAZjr]

@Corrupt140 why did that statement make him so angry?

[Corrupt140]

@MrDrHAZjr Honestly, I think the video was just cut after the interviewer asked the question, to a random shot of Hitchcock. If however, it's un-editted, god damn that's funny. The 'Cock was a strange and powerful being.

[Jeredos]

jajaajaja el primer plano de su rostro en el efecto kuleshov es increible.

[brassmonkeyjew]

Psycho is dated and not scary to even babies! sSaw would have made poor old Alfred wet his pantaloons!

[Beatmeup66]

@brassmonkeyjew You are missing the entire purpose of this video. PURE CINEMA. Using cinematic technique to manipulate the audiences emotion. He was a master of the craft and at explaining it in a simple way. Please do not compare his films to the Gorefest that is Saw. Saw was entertaining, but the only emotion I got from it was "god, I hope that never happens to me. That would suck"

[brassmonkeyjew]

@Beatmeup66

No one watches old movies cause they are dated and don't make sense anymore cause they are from a time which has passed.

We have evolved since the time of movie infancy when his primitive "technique"was considered progressive... And you should too!

Saw is to Psycho what A monkey is to us humans! But this clip has it's purpose in showing us how far we have come since the stone age of cinema...

[Beatmeup66]

@brassmonkeyjew This is honestly hard to respond to. "No one watches old movies cause they are dated and don't make sense anymore cause they are from a time which has passed." Are you serious? There are so many things wrong with that sentence. In terms of grammar and accuracy. Believe it or not,  a lot of people still watch old movies. I have so much more to say but I can already tell it will be a waste of my time.

[eltimo12]

@brassmonkeyjew you are a genuine moron, I am not joking, if you honestly believe what you just typed, you are systematically by all of society's intellectual standards a truly dumb person

[ascetica0]

@brassmonkeyjew You likened Saw to the monkey btw.

[christophersyn]

@brassmonkeyjew Yo are an idiot!!!!

[generalcircle]

"Shadow on the curtain"

Hitch: DAMN IT HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT ME!

[haupper]

Hitchcock on cutting: keep going until you run out of chocolate syrup.

[Statistic100]

I loooold at Alfred's silence at the end. He's like "What the fuck you talking about?"

[dcolby5]

The title should not say "Hitchcock explains about cutting": we don't explain about things, we explain things. Thus, the title should say "Hitchcock explains cutting." There you are.

[tarnopol]

@dcolby5 Nice cut! ;)

[dan2009]

Size of image the create shock

[neerping]

All hail the Master!

[GOreelz]

That was the kuleshov experiment, not the alfred hitchcock experiment. You can call hitchcock a genius, but just remember who explored these ideas in the first place: Eisenstein, Kuleshov, D.W. Griffith, Pudovkin. Alfred Hitchcock only mastered the techniques that filmmakers had already invented.

[LoomPharade]

@GOreelz

This is not quite correct, the way hitchcock manage to build tension in his movies was never seen before. yeah tough, for the last part he refers to kulesov experiment, but his movies are full of brand new ways of cinecrafting

[GOreelz]

@LoomPharade I was referring to the last part.

[cutepossession]

he's is fucking genius

[brianpadraic]

Alfred the Great was great because he gets to the "brass tacks" of what it is all about like Charles the Great (Chaplin). No superfluous B.S.!

[alberts1985]

Hey!< did he direct creed's with arms wide open music video??

[DirectedBySteve]

Owww GOLD!

I like to think I know and understand editing, but I could never explain it as eloquently as Mr Hitchcock, never in a hundred years.

[DirectedBySteve]

[Corrupt140]

interviewer: "or you for it, as it were." - Hitchcock: "go fuck yourself."

[CraigKramer]

@Corrupt140 seems like he was giving him a compliment though.

[patbuddha]

@CraigKramer That's the same way I took it. The other thing to keep in mind is that the last shot might not have actually been a reaction to the interviewer's comment. It's unlikely this was done with two cameras. They do the interview with the camera trained on Hitch, then later shoot the interviewer whose shot may or may not have even been in the same room as the actual interview or even the same day. The closing reaction shot could be Hitch listening to a question from earlier on.

[tall32guy]

@Corrupt140 I'm sure that the interviewer didn't mean any offense by it, but from what I've seen and gathered of Hitchcock, he was easily offended by certain things. LOL Some people are just like that. We don't mean to offend people usually but we will and that's just how it is.

[ericdisney1]

@Corrupt140 hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[hananas1]

Hi, Could I ask if you know the source of this clip? Was it a TV interview or is it on a DVD extras package? Regards, Adam

[Jimbothy]

ROFL he looks so pissed at the interviewer after he said "or you for it as it were..."

[Atomicflash500]

@Jimbothy...naahh.. all the lines were scripted..Hitchcock knew that line was coming.

[ericdisney1]

@Jimbothy hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[MrNerdyBrit]

@Jimbothy maybe he felt he was sucking up to him, I think Hitch is a quite modest man.

[TheWorksful]

He's really gifted with explaining flmmaking techniques.

[tall32guy]

@TheWorksful He's one of the best known and most talented filmmakers of all time. Is this a surprise? LOL :)
