[0:00] Alfred Hitchcock
[0:09] was known as the master of suspense.
[0:15] But he was also notorious for the
[0:17] content of his films which centered
[0:19] around devious plots, paranoia, deceit,
[0:22] and above all,
[0:25] murder. He even has a movie that's just
[0:27] is straight up called Murder. He's the
[0:29] last director you expect a genuine love
[0:32] story from, which is what Notorious is.
[0:34] It's about a lady who falls in love with
[0:36] a guy because she is blackout wasted.
[0:40] >> I I'm going to drive.
[0:46] >> With driving like this good, she'll
[0:48] never be able to reach the end credits
[0:50] on Cruising USA. So, the USA says,
[0:52] "Let's send this lady back to Germany to
[0:54] be a spy for us with no training." And
[0:56] since she's so drunk, she agrees. The
[0:59] premise is Psycho, and it's from the
[1:01] maker of Psycho. And this movie is even
[1:03] better than Psycho. Just because he
[1:04] karate chops her and knocks her out cold
[1:07] on their first date and then sends her
[1:09] off to marry a Nazi conspirator, she
[1:12] thinks he isn't in love with her, but
[1:14] actually he is. The problem is that
[1:16] they're both such good actors in real
[1:18] life that they can't trust each other in
[1:20] the movie. They're both in love, but
[1:22] only when the other person isn't
[1:23] looking.
[1:24] >> What a little pal you are. to although
[1:26] to be fair, the lady does become a
[1:27] secret agent just to please the student
[1:29] and he's still playing hard to get. Like
[1:31] really, it's funny and then it's cruel
[1:34] and then you think, wait, what if he
[1:36] actually doesn't like her though?
[1:46] As we grow older, we learn to deny
[1:49] instinct and compromise because the
[1:51] world is compromised. But a person can
[1:54] only withstand so much.
[1:56] >> Why won't you let me be happy?
[1:58] >> Nobody's stopping you.
[2:00] >> In the movie, the dishonesty is
[2:02] literally killing her. She's delirious,
[2:05] bedridden in a place where Nazis can't
[2:08] even be real with each other. She's
[2:10] trapped in this den of deception,
[2:13] waiting for a sliver of reality to come
[2:16] to her like a dream.
