Rope( unfinished)

Rope is a thriller created by Alfred Hitchcock. It is about 2 friends who live in lavish Newyork apartment who by the looks of them have  a lot of money, they are intellectually superior than another man and decide to murder him by strangling with  a roper hence the title “ rope” This movie was based on a play created by Patrick Hamilton about a 14 year old boy who was murdered by two university students in Chicago.

Similar to the pompous Brandon and Phillips in the film, the real killers believed that Nietzschean superman. Which means that basically due to their intellectual power they don't have to abide by laws. “ Good and evil” they where using a philosophy which they thought that by killing someone it would make them better than anyone else. They believe that right and wrong were invented for the ordinary man.

 This shows us what a typical thriller would be like such as tense periods of suspense and mystery, it keeps the audience intrigued and focused in the film, it makes the audience eager to know what is happening next. However Alfred Hitchcock believes there's a significant difference between mystery and suspense. he says "Mystery is an intellectual process" This means that the difference is that mystery is something you have to work out ("intellectual") whereas suspense is all about making the audience feel a certain way, it makes the emotions of the audience change by giving them the information but its just the wait that causes emotions to stir up.
