This comparison was done 45 years ago. It did not hold up then and it sure as hell does not hold up now. All you did was re-write what was dismissed as horseshit years and years ago. The next time you want to attempt something like this, do us all a favor and tell us something that is not complete palaver and something that is a result of your own thinking and research. This may not even get an A at a Community College.
With all respect, Psycho was released 48 years ago. How is this essay possibly relevant NOW?
One gets a feeling that a lot of your essays are not really original, more like rehashings of someone else's work who you've read. Just restate a bit, and voila! A new essay for LE. LOL!
Interesting essay, DeniseNoe!
Remember that "Rope" (also with Farley Granger in the cast, like "Strangers On a Train" (1950)) is taken as an idea almost directly from the Leopold/Loeb case, with James Stewart as the horrified "voice of reason" figure.
So, the question remains: Who's cribbing from who?
But there is no question regarding Hitchcock's (claustrophobic) genius!
