I thought that Hitchcock did a great job in dealing with the strong gaze of the different characters within this film. It was also interesting to see how he placed his own thoughts and feelings within his character in the film, Scottie. Whether it was Scottie deeply falling in love with Madeline, or the fact that he then discovered that Madeline did indeed set her own death up.
I also found it to be pretty ironic how Madeline faked her own death, and then in the end, indeed did jump from the top of the tower to her death. It may sound a bit harsh, but she got what she had comming, especially pertaining to what she did to Scottie. All of this being said, I thought that it turned out to be a pretty solid movie. Thumbs up, Hitchcock

it was interesting how you talked about madeleine faking her death and that in the end got what was coming to her. that was the dragging the womans face through the dirt that Ebert had talked about how Hitchcock protrayed his women.
I too found it ironic and interesting how she died the way she fake it once before. I think that kind of ending Hitchcock used, had more an impact and leads to more thoughts about that film then if she didn't die that way.
I agree with jondirector7, it's kind of funny how she died. But none the less, good first post!
I think it's interesting how you think she got what was coming to her. Maybe because I'm a female and Judy's a female, I relate to her more, but I definitely didn't think she committed wrongdoing to the degree where she would deserve her own death. I don't think she planned on hurting Scottie. She was engaged in a scam, and fell in love unexpectedly.
