It is easy to understand how Mr. Hitchcock knows how to use these nuances very skillfully in his films every time. 📺 Since he really masters his craft, not only his films, but also reading this article are simply a pleasure. 🙂<br /><br />And yet I have to disagree to Mr. Hitchcock. 🤔 His statements may apply to cinema goers, racing drivers 🏍, mountain climbers and other adrenaline junkies, but what the audience or athletes (sometimes very intensely) feel there, I would never describe as real fear. It's just tension, excitement and adrenaline rush. Even if the physical symptoms of the audience, are similar to those of real onset fear, they have hardly anything to do with each other, and cannot just be equated, as Mr. Hitchcock did in his brief explanations.<br />I only agree ✅ with Mr. Hitchcock's statements to the extent, that they relate to his specialty in cinema, but it is simply wrong to say, that the tingling felt in the cinema, is the same as real existential fear that threatens the being 😱. It is not so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
