I watched Rope by Alfred Hitchcock on my own on a DVD. Overall i enjoyed the film, i liked the fact that it was different (by shooting it in one (several rolls needed) continuous take). I thought that the scripting was very good, the way the audience laughs at a comment made related to murder whilst the character doesn't notice how this is funny due to there lack of knowledge in the situation. Thinking of murder as an art is an interesting angle on it, one hard for a normal, non psychopathic audience could understand. I felt however that if the murder was not shown at the beginning of the film then there would have been a lot more tension when the chest was nearly opened as the audience would not know whether there was a body in there or not.
