Day 18: Rope (1948)

History
Hitchcock movie that looked cool. Why is James Stewart being plastered all over the poster like he's the star? He's not. But I guess he was the only famous person in the cast or something.

What's it about?
Two dudes kill a friend and host a party with the body hidden in the room.

Thoughts
This movie is really cool because it takes place in real time and there are a lot of long shots, lasting around 8-10 minutes, and they are blended together to make it look like a single really long take. So it seems sort of like a play...it's based on one too. The way that the characters interact and the conversations that they have are all well done.

Rating
Aww hell yeah!
