| HITCHCOCK: Why do these
Hitchcock films stand up well? |
00:01:25.890 - 00:01:29.019 |
| They don't look
old fashioned. |
00:01:29.102 - 00:01:30.854 |
| Well, I don't know
the answer. |
00:01:32.564 - 00:01:34.862 |
| i think it's because
they are so rigorous
they are not tied to a particular time either
because they are made only to you yourself |
00:01:37.861 - 00:01:47.178 |
| HITCHCOCK: That's true, yes. |
00:01:47.378 - 00:01:49.415 |
| FINCHER: My dad
was a big movie buff, |
00:02:01.426 - 00:02:03.554 |
| and it was one of the books
that was in his library. |
00:02:03.637 - 00:02:07.062 |
| From the time I was
about seven years old, |
00:02:11.269 - 00:02:13.067 |
| he knew I wanted
to make movies, |
00:02:13.146 - 00:02:14.819 |
| so he recommended it to me. |
00:02:14.898 - 00:02:16.946 |
| And I remember
picking over it, |
00:02:18.276 - 00:02:20.495 |
| and I must've read it...
Sections of it. |
00:02:20.570 - 00:02:23.073 |
| Like, there's the Oskar Homolka
sequence from Sabotage. |
00:02:23.156 - 00:02:27.536 |
| Where it sort of lays out
all of the cutting pattern. |
00:02:28.036 - 00:02:31.757 |
| It's not even a book anymore, |
00:02:36.378 - 00:02:38.756 |
| it's like a stack of papers
because it was a... |
00:02:38.838 - 00:02:41.387 |
| You know, I had a paperback
and it's just... |
00:02:41.466 - 00:02:44.561 |
| You know, it's got
a rubber band around it. |
00:02:44.636 - 00:02:46.889 |
| NARRATOR:
In 1966, Frangois Truffaut |
00:02:48.014 - 00:02:50.893 |
| published one of the few
indispensable books on movies. |
00:02:50.975 - 00:02:54.354 |
