Rhys! Within this enjoyable compilation you will find Hitchcock breezing through the frame in broad daylight or even in dim night shadow. Other more obvious antics involve facing off with a subway small fry, hiding in a newspaper ad (my personal favorite) catching another drink, being part of a crowd or lugging around a big cello.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_YbaOkiMiRQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nWhile his cameos would often present the big-n-tall director in a hapless or helpless position, his attention to detail and control of his work was legendary.<\/p>\n<p>Hitchcock would almost always do his cameos early in each film, since they can be distracting, and he wanted viewers to be immersed in the story. The exception is in <em>Rope<\/em> where he&#8217;s got a total of three cameos, and they all have specific purpose and meaning, and of course, they all mess with the characters which messes with your head.<\/p>\n<p>Hitchcock&#8217;s prankster style asks you to grapple with your own grip on reality while simultaneously guiding you through heights of anxiety that might seem cruel, but actually care about you in the end. His works portray a compassionate unifying sense of humanity that I find to be missing in many films today. Enjoy\u00a0this careful compilation of cameo gems!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While you&#8217;re getting ready to apply for Gothtober by August 29th, here&#8217;s something fun to watch!
